Finale

A few days later, Lu Chunyan returned to Gaoping City. Although it was a minor operation, it would take several days without getting wet.He stayed in the hospital for two weeks, and when he returned home, Guo Zhaoan wanted to find a nurse for him, but he refused.

After returning home, he took a bath by himself, but he didn't pay attention when taking a bath, and let the wound touch the water.There was some pain and some itching, but the skin there seemed to be numb, so dull that people couldn't feel any more pain.Lu Chunyan simply changed the gauze and came out of the bathroom. He might feel a little stuffy. He walked to the window and gently opened the glass window. The cold wind came in from the outside and blew on his face, dispelling the heat accumulated in the bath just now. Blown away.

That night, Lu Chunyan forgot to close the window, and the wind blew all night.When he woke up the next day, he was lying on the bed, the ceiling seemed to be falling, he couldn’t see everything in front of him when he opened his eyes, and when he closed his eyes and ears, it seemed that there were countless planes taking off from him, and the air flow cut him apart. body, causing him severe pain.

When the pain enveloped his body, Qiuyao seemed to appear in front of his eyes again.

The delusion that seemed real and illusory sometimes made him almost unable to tell whether he was really sick or not.

Chen He said that he was depressed, but Lu Chunyan didn't take it seriously, he just took some sleeping pills if he couldn't fall asleep, the physical and psychological pains were all his own fault, he was the one who failed Qiuyao's sincerity, he deserved it, He wanted even more pain.

Half of his face was lying on the pillow, his whole body was shivering, cold and painful.

For a moment he felt that he was about to die, his breathing became more and more rapid, his lungs were working hard, his throat overflowed with sweet smell, his body shook, he grabbed the quilt and coughed.

At this moment, a pair of hands caressed his cheeks, like feathers or petals falling.

He heard someone calling him, calling his name to wake him up.

Lu Chunyan struggled to open his eyes, his eyes were dazzled by the light, and he frowned, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

Guo Zhaoan looked anxious, calling 120 while calling Lu Chunyan.Lu Chunyan's heart was beating very fast, and there was a sudden throbbing pain, and his whole body was shaken in the distance. He grabbed Guo Zhaoan's arm and gasped, "I heard Qiuyao calling me."

Guo Zhaoan looked at Lu Chunyan complicatedly, pulled his hand away, and couldn't bear to say: "Boss, you have a high fever, I'll take you to the hospital."

Lu Chunyan ignored Guo Zhaoan's words, but murmured to himself: "Master Xueting told me that Qiuyao is still there, he is still there, I heard him calling me just now, did he forgive me, did he still Will you be back?"

After summer, if the air conditioner is blown for a long time, it is not good for the body.Xu Xia brought Xu You back from swimming class. The child turned on the air conditioner in the car for a while, and drank cold water when he got home. He felt uncomfortable when eating at night.Vomiting and diarrhea, and developing a fever, Xu Xia called Meng Heng, and Meng Heng drove them directly to the hospital.

The so-called caring is chaotic, Xu Xia is usually not so flustered and at a loss, she hugged Xu You and sat in the back, not daring to turn on the air conditioner, the car window dropped a small gap, and a little wind blew across Xu Xia's face.

Xu You opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at Xu Xia, gently grabbed her clothes, moved her lips slightly, and called out to her mother.

When I arrived at the hospital, I thought it was just a common cold and fever, but the doctor saw Xu You's condition and immediately asked them to take Xu You for a lumbar puncture examination.Xu Xia's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't react at all, it was Meng Heng who walked quickly with Xu You in his arms.

When Xu You was doing the examination, Xu Xia sat outside stiffly, with a dazed expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lu Chunyan's wound was infected and inflamed. After the doctor bandaged him, he solemnly told him to remember not to touch the water in the future.Before Lu Chunyan could speak in the future, Guo Zhaoan had already answered several times for him.Lu Chunyan was sitting in a wheelchair, looking very haggard. Guo Zhaoan looked down, greeted the doctor, and pushed Lu Chunyan out.

As he walked, he said, "Boss, don't be too sad, you..." He paused, and said hesitantly, "Your Qiu Yao, he will come back."

When Lu Chunyan heard this name from someone else's mouth again, his heart seemed to be pinched hard. He raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember him?"

Guo Zhao'an was stunned for a moment, bumping into Lu Chunyan's serious eyes, suddenly a small figure actually appeared in his head, sitting alone on the sofa.When he got closer, the child asked him, is Lu Chunyan back?

"how so!"

Suddenly there was a shrill cry that exploded like thunder, and Guo Zhaoan came back to his senses. He followed the sound and couldn't help shouting, "Meng Heng?"

As a competitor of the same real estate project, he has met Meng Heng several times. He is a rare talent. The Meng family has not completely collapsed without him.

Not far away, Meng Heng could be seen supporting the crying woman, Guo Zhaoan lowered his head and asked Lu Chunyan, "Boss, look over there, is that Meng Tao's ex-girlfriend?"

Lu Chunyan looked sideways, his gaze fell on Xu Xia's face, and he paused for a few seconds.

Xu You was diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis. The child was diagnosed with severe sequelae of this disease. Such lesions can cause meningeal adhesions and damage to the brain parenchyma. Therefore, cranial nerve palsy, blindness, hearing impairment, limb paralysis, and epilepsy will occur. and mental retardation and other sequelae, and some children died.The doctor told Xu Xia all this, and Xu Xia couldn't accept this fact at all, and just slumped on the ground.She covered her face and kept crying, the sky seemed to have collapsed, and the whole world turned into darkness.

Meng Heng pursed his lips, resisting the soreness in his nose, and helped her up, "Go and see Xiaoyou first, you must be stronger as a mother."

Xu Xia shook her head, she stood up unsteadily.

They passed by Lu Chunyan, Meng Heng and Guo Zhaoan nodded to each other, the corner of their eyes fell on Lu Chunyan's face, and they slowly retracted.

Xu You was put on a tube and lay on the hospital bed. Xu Xia and the others couldn't go in directly, but stood outside the glass window and looked at him.

A small child has a weak vitality.

Xu Xia stared at Xu You in a daze, Meng Heng couldn't help comforting her.Xu Xia shook her head slowly, her red eyes were bloodshot, she put her hands on the glass, her voice was choked, and she said softly: "Xu Yougang couldn't live when he was born, he didn't breathe or have a heartbeat, the doctor told me I said he was dead, I didn't believe it, struggled to get up, let them save him.

Then a miracle happened, they shouted over there, there was a heartbeat, breathing, and he came alive.

God has been very kind to me. I always thought that Xu You was the child of Lord Buddha, so this time, he left me because I was not worthy of him.I lost the right to raise him, so Lord Buddha took him back. "

Meng Heng frowned, Xu Xia closed her eyes, pressed her forehead against the glass, and said, "Xiaoyou, Mom really loves you."

Guo Zhaoan pushed Lu Chunyan into the elevator, the floor descended, and when he reached the first floor, the elevator door opened slowly, but Guo Zhaoan did not move.

The elevator door opened and closed several times, even the most absent-minded Lu Chunyan noticed something strange.He looked back, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in front of his eyes. It was obviously summer, but he tasted the smell of ice and snow.

He was sitting dully, when suddenly the wheelchair behind him was pushed hard, his whole body leaned forward, his right foot stepped on the ground, exerted some strength, and there was a sharp pain in the lower right side of his abdomen.After being dragged for a while, Lu Chunyan turned his head and saw a familiar face.

He exclaimed: "Master Xue Ting."

Xue Ting glanced at him, hooked the wheelchair over, pressed his shoulder, and Lu Chunyan sat directly on the wheelchair.Xue Ting circled behind Lu Chunyan, pushed the wheelchair and walked out.

"Master Xue Ting, where are we going?"

Xue Ting looked ahead, the hospital was full of people coming and going, and all kinds of people were in pain.He walked very fast, as if the wind was blowing under his feet, Xue Ting answered Lu Chunyan's question, "Take you to see Qiuyao."

……

There was one thing that even Xue Ting didn't notice.

That was the seed that Qiuyao gave Xu Xia back then.

What Xu Xia gave birth to that day was indeed a stillbirth, and it was the peach tree that was carefully cared for and finally sprouted and rooted that saved the child.

Xu You's illness has been continued by Qiu Yao, but his sudden illness is also because of that peach tree.

Xue Ting briefly told Lu Chunyan the ins and outs of the whole matter. He stated plainly, but the listeners became more and more excited.The wheelchair was pushed outside the hospital, Xue Ting was thinking about how to get out, and saw Lu Chunyan standing up, with his hand covering the lower right side of his abdomen, enduring the pain of the wound, and whispered: "I can walk by myself."

He stopped a taxi outside the hospital, followed the road pointed by Xue Ting, and the car came to Xu Xia's house.

After paying the money, Lu Chunyan immediately stepped back and got out of the car. He stumbled and almost fell several times.

Xue Ting followed behind him, looking at Lu Chunyan's back as if he had recovered from spring.They stood outside the gate of Xu Xia's yard. It was just after noon in the hot summer, the sun was hanging low in the air and baking, there was a layer of hot air floating on the ground, and the plants were drooping wearily.

Lu Chunyan raised his head, with sweat dripping from his forehead, he stared blankly at the peach tree in front of him, and said to Xue Ting: "I've seen him before, and I've been here a while ago, and I walked past him without even a glance To see him."

Xue Ting stood with his hands behind his back, looked sideways, and said, "Lu Chunyan, he is trapped in Wangchuan, help me bring him back."

Lu Chunyan turned around, nodded and agreed almost without hesitation.

Xue Ting looked at him thoughtfully.Lu Chunyan took a step forward and asked anxiously, "What should I do." He raised his hand and pressed on the left side of his chest, and said in a low voice, "I can do anything, as long as... as long as he can come back."

As soon as the words fell, he heard Xue Ting's laughter, Xue Ting said: "Okay, then use your life in exchange, and it can also make that child recover, and it is quite worth it."

Lu Chunyan's expression froze, he was silent for two seconds, and said, "Okay, take it if you can use it."

"You will regret this."

"If I don't, I'll regret it."

After Lu Chunyan finished speaking, the cicadas in his ears quieted down, the wind stopped slowly, and the light dimmed inch by inch.The houses, streets, and green trees in front of him are slowly disappearing, followed by his own body.The palm of his hand gradually became transparent, and he watched himself slowly disappear into the air, everything seemed to be in a dream, yet so real.He looked at Xue Ting, who met his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Do you really not regret it?"

Lu Chunyan was speechless, he blinked, turned around and looked up at the peach tree.He opened his arms and made a hug gesture, as if to say, Qiuyao, I'm back.

Guo Zhaoan shuddered, his eyes lit up, he woke up suddenly, he subconsciously lowered his head, saw that Lu Chunyan was sitting in the wheelchair, nothing unusual, and let out a sigh of relief.The elevator door opened, and Guo Zhaoan pushed the wheelchair out.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Looking down, he saw Lu Chunyan fell from the wheelchair and fell to the ground.

Lu Chunyan was in a coma for several days. He couldn't find any other symptoms and just fell asleep.

In the past few days, Xu Xia has received good news that Xu You's condition has improved, and after a few more days of treatment, he will recover.Xu Xia, like being pardoned, couldn't help crying with joy.

In the long summer, there are gains and losses.Lu Chunyan's parents and friends came and cried, and the people in the ward came one after another, and finally calmed down.

Chen He defines his unwillingness to wake up as self-enclosed, and everyone seems to be slowly accepting that he cannot wake up.Nurses come to massage his body every day to prevent his muscles from shrinking.

Guo Zhaoan lost his boss, and his life in the company was not going well, so he resigned and went to another company. Small businesses don't have so many worries.

Lu Chunyan lay in that room for four seasons. During this year, he has been standing on that street, watching the peach trees in the yard blossom and leaves fall.

He waited like this for a year, time slipped away behind him, he didn't seem to feel it.

Xueting slowly walked to his side, looked at the luxuriant peach tree, and said to him: "There is no such thing as exchanging human lives for spirits and monsters in this world. This is just a rhetoric. I just want to see you It’s just my sincerity.”

Lu Chunyan was dumbfounded, Xue Ting lowered his eyes, and said softly: "Lu Chunyan, let me return Qiuyao to you."

Xue Ting raised his hand, the spring breeze was blowing, the peach blossoms in full bloom on the branches fell, and the ground was covered with peach powder.Lu Chunyan looked down, and when he raised his head again, the person in front of him was gone.

He took a sudden breath, and in a room full of sunlight, the person lying flat on the bed suddenly got up, pulled out the infusion tube in his hand, and was ridiculously thin.He lifted the quilt and wanted to get off the ground, but when his feet hit the ground, his whole body went limp, and he fell to the ground, his back hit the bedside table, the glass bottle on it fell, and there was a loud bang, breaking the tranquility of the afternoon .

The people outside the door heard the sound and ran in, and saw Lu Chunyan supporting himself with his hands, trying to get up with difficulty.The blue and white hospital gown was hanging on him, and it was empty like a big gown. He looked around and opened his mouth. His throat, which hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't make a sound for a while.

He fell silent, the nurse helped him up, and Lu Chunyan leaned on the hospital bed panting.The nurse said to him, "Mr. Lu, I'm going to find a doctor."

Lu Chunyan lowered his eyes, looked at his skinny palms, and raised his head again. The sunlight outside the glass window was just right, and the lush branches were touching the glass. The greenery was thick, and it was spring.

From that day on, he never saw Xue Ting again.

Everything was like a dream, but Xu You did recover miraculously, and he also fell into a coma for a year.

After waking up, his body was still very weak, and he was finally able to speak. He first contacted Guo Zhaoan and asked him to find Xu Xia. He wanted the peach tree in Xu Xia's yard.

A month later, the spring was cold and rainy.

Guo Zhaoan returned to work with Lu Chunyan again. Although the first thing Boss Lu arranged for him was a bit strange, he was still happy in his heart. Based on his acquaintance with Meng Heng, Xu Xia insisted on letting it go. up.

The peach tree was transplanted back to the old house, and the flower farmers took good care of it. In March, the branches were clustered with buds ready to bloom.

Lu Chunyan was wearing a brown windbreaker, with elk-colored gloves supporting a cane.It was raining, and he waited four to five minutes at the entrance of the hospital, when a black car stopped, Guo Zhaoan got out of the car, opened an umbrella and walked in front of Lu Chunyan.

"Boss, it's raining too much. It was blocked for a while when I came over."

"It's okay." Lu Chunyan walked into the rain curtain as he tapped the puddle with his cane.

The car was going to the old house, and the traffic jam along the way was delayed for more than an hour.

There was a long queue in front of the car, and Guo Zhaoan sat in the car, impatient to wait, and couldn't help but say to Lu Chunyan: "Boss, the red light here is like this when it rains, and the time doubles."

After he finished speaking, he glanced back, and then stopped his voice.I saw Lu Chunyan leaning his head sideways on the window glass, the window opened a gap, continuous rain and wind floated in together, and the color of the cloudy blue sky fell on his face.

The horn behind the car suddenly sounded, and Lu Chunyan reminded: "Zhao'an, the green light is on."

Guo Zhaoan hurriedly turned around, released the brake, and slowly stepped on the accelerator.

The wheels ran over the wet road, splashing a little water, and they walked along that road, and finally arrived at the house that hadn't been lived in for a long time.Guo Zhao'an didn't have much of an impression of this, before Lu Chun's banquets often came, but he came by himself, and after Lu Chunyan stopped coming, the people in the house were dismissed.

However, since Lu Chunyan woke up, this almost deserted house has been rearranged again.

When Lu Chunyan got off the car, Guo Zhaoan saw that he was walking unsteadily, so he couldn't help reminding: "Boss, the ground is slippery, walk slowly."

Lu Chunyan nodded and clenched his cane tightly.He had only recovered for a month, and it was not easy for him to stand up. He walked unsteadily, stepped over the slightly higher threshold carefully, and entered the courtyard.

The last time he came, it was also raining, and the rain soaked most of his clothes. He was in a bad mood and hurried into the house.

This time he walked into the yard, stood under the peach tree, raised his hand, gently stroked the bark of the tree, and pointed at the green leaves with raindrops.

Lu Chunyan stayed here for half a month. Most of the time, he sat in front of the house and looked at the peach trees in the yard.When birds came, he acted as a scarecrow, stood up and stepped forward, and all the sparrows on the branches flew away.He also asked the flower farmer to teach him how to loosen the soil and catch insects. Although his legs and feet were clumsy, he still did everything by himself.

In late March, the flowers were in full bloom, and the peach blossoms turned into rain, which fell and sprinkled all over the ground.Lu Chunyan couldn't bear those fallen flowers, squatted on the ground, picked up the petals little by little, and put them in small glass jars.

He lowered his head and focused on the fallen flowers on the ground.

With a "click", something seemed to fall, Lu Chunyan froze for a moment, his hands froze in place.

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, with a little childishness, but it made Lu Chunyan burst into tears immediately.

Qiu Yao tilted her head, frowned and looked at the person at her feet. He asked, "What are you doing with my flowers?"
