Chapter 465 Ice Is Sleeping Water

Some of the lights in the corridor were extinguished. Time passed slowly, and fewer and fewer patients and nurses came and went. Many people looked at Yun Chuan with sympathetic eyes. He was still sitting stubbornly on the bench, even his posture was changed. Very little changes.

I stopped trying to persuade him and stayed with him silently.

Taoist priest Xianqing was kind to me. I met him for the first time during the live broadcast of the No. 14 hearse. I had never met him at the time, but he handed me a piece of yellow paper to remind me of the potential dangers on the hearse.

When I was wanted by the whole city, in order to help me, Taoist Master Xianqing used his secret technique to ask the Patriarch to block the possessed Ye Bing for me and gave me a chance to escape.

A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring, so later when Taoist Master Xianqing asked me to take care of Yunchuan, I agreed without hesitation, but I didn’t think about it this way. Now that I taste Taoist Xianqing’s words, he is very Maybe he already knew about his physical condition and was explaining his funeral arrangements at that time.

"He was more seriously injured than we thought."

It was past midnight, and the early morning bells echoed over the city, as if to see him off.

The sky was extremely dark tonight, with not a trace of light showing through.

At about one o'clock in the morning, the door of the emergency room opened from the inside, and the attending physician and nurse walked out one after another.

"Sorry, we tried our best..."

The surgical cart was rolled out from the house. The old man on it had a peaceful face, as if he was asleep, but everyone present knew that he had lost all his vitality and would never wake up again.

The lunch box in his hand fell to the ground, and the vegetable juice splashed on the white washed Taoist robe. Yunchuan's eyes looked at the old man motionlessly. He stood up and followed the cart without saying a word.

In a daze, he seemed to want to keep walking with the car.

His vision became a little dim, and Yunchuan was finally stopped outside the morgue by the nurse. Separated by a door, there were two worlds that he could never touch.

I wanted to say something else, but I was pulled away by Tie Ningxiang. Looking at Yun Chuan's devastated look, I actually knew in my heart that it was useless to let others say anything at this time.

The sadness is so deep that you can only understand it through experience.

"Let him be alone." Tie Ningxiang pulled me out of the corridor, and I heard the suppressed crying only after a long distance.

When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them easily, but they are not sad yet.

"I didn't expect it to be like this." I was also a little depressed. I took a deep breath, rubbed my eyes, and slowly recovered. When people are alive, they are destined to look forward. There is no threshold that cannot be crossed in this world: "Sister, you said you had two things to tell me. The first one was about Taoist Master Xianqing. What was the other one? "

Tie Ningxiang hesitated and paused for a few seconds before speaking: "There is someone in Ye Bing's ward who wants to see you."

"Ye Bing?" During the eighth live broadcast, she was possessed by a peerless monster suppressed by the No. 3 Bridge Crematorium. She fell into a severe coma afterwards and never woke up.

"You'd better go and take a look. In fact, she is quite pitiful now." Tie Ningxiang said seriously, and then grabbed my hand: "Let's go, I will go with you."

Eighth floor, VIP ward.

Although Ye Bing and Jiang Chen had fallen out, she was still nominally the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and they would not treat Ye Bing badly even if it was just to show it to the outside media.

"It's so late, why don't you go in and disturb me?" I stood outside the ward door and stopped.

"That person said that he must see you. No matter how late it is, he will wait." Tie Ningxiang pushed open the door of the ward and pulled me in.

The VIP ward is a large place. In addition to Ye Bing, who is still unconscious on the hospital bed, there are two other people in the room. One is Jiang Fei. She is lying on the sofa wrapped in a coat and taking a nap. When she hears the sound of the door opening, she When I woke up, I was surprised to see Tie Ningxiang and I coming in.

The other man was about sixty-five years old, with black and white hair and a strong body. He was sitting by the window looking at the night view of Jiangcheng. He also held a book of essays - "Walden Pond" in his hand.

"Mr. Chen, Gao Jian is here." Tie Ningxiang said softly, and I could hear a kind of respect from the bottom of her heart in her tone.

When the old man saw me, he slowly stood up from his chair, put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "I have heard Ye Bing mention you many times before, and today I finally met you in person."

"Ye Bing mentioned me? What is your relationship with her?" Ye Bing was twenty-five years old, and the old man in front of him was over sixty years old. He looked neither like her father nor her grandfather.

"Gao Jian, please be polite. This teacher Chen is the director of the largest private orphanage in South China. He has sponsored hundreds of out-of-school children and built many rehabilitation schools for disabled children at his own expense. He is a well-known philanthropist." Tie. Ningxiang gently took my hand and asked me to pay attention to my speech and behavior and not to be too casual.

"Don't talk about that. I just want to talk to this little brother today." The old man looked very kind and had no airs at all: "Come, sit down and talk."

He naturally invited Tie Ningxiang and me to the sofa. Jiang Fei, who was originally lying on it, had already stood up and left, looking at the people in the room with confusion.

"Old sir, with all due respect, Ye Bing and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. I'm afraid I can't help you much." Ever since I learned that Master Xianqing had happened, I've been in a state of confusion. I still have a lot of things to do. To deal with it, there will be a new live broadcast in a few days. Walking on the edge of life and death for a long time has made me not interested in those false reputations and so-called social status.

"Gao Jian..." Tie Ningxiang kept reminding me behind her, but I was indifferent.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you can help me or not, but there are some things I want to tell you about her." Mr. Chen turned to look at Ye Bing, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, feeling a little distressed and regretful: "I am not her father. , and she has no blood relationship, but she was raised by me."

The old man's eyes were a little wandering: "Twenty years ago, I resigned from my position as a professor in a certain college and founded Tiantangkou, and Ye Bing was one of the first orphans to be adopted."

"Heaven Mouth?"

"Well, it's just a name." Teacher Chen straightened her clothes, with a warm and kind smile on her face: "You must have been dating Ye Bing for such a long time, and she hasn't told you this, right?"

"Indeed not." When I dated Ye Bing five years ago, I had never heard her mention her family. It wasn't until today that I realized that she grew up in an orphanage. But then I realized, Ye Bing Bing was born at a time when people were mourning, and his fate was dangerous, and he was bound to suffer disaster in his childhood.

Teacher Chen seemed to be reminiscing about something, and said intermittently: "Speaking of which, I gave her her name. When I first met her, she was only four or five years old. Other children had their own playmates, but only She was sitting alone in the corner, her body was dirty, and she didn’t know what she had experienced, and her eyes were dim and full of panic.”

"I asked the female teacher to take her to take a bath, and then put her into new clothes. She has a beauty that is far beyond that of children of the same age, but she is always not confident about herself. After changing, she huddles in the corner alone."

"Later, the administrator brought several children without official names into my office and wanted me to name them, and she was among them."

“I still remember the first conversation I had with her, and I asked her what her favorite thing was.”

"She said she likes water, because water is pure and transparent, and it can wash away all dirt and take away those dirty things. I thought this little girl was very interesting, so I told her that there is actually something more beautiful than water in the world. Pure, that’s ice.”

"A bucket of water will become smelly if left for a long time, but after the water is frozen into ice, it will remain pure and sweet forever." Teacher Chen walked out of his memories, looked at the hospital bed, and murmured: "Ice is the water in which you sleep."

"Old sir, why are you telling me all this? Just tell me straight, don't beat around the bush." ​​At another time, I might have used a more tactful tone, but it's different now. Something happened to Master Xianqing just now, and I feel like Holding down a flame.

"I asked the doctor in charge of this child. They said that in order to wake her up, she can only wake her up by finding the person with the deepest memory in her and touching her heart. This person is obviously not me, so I want to ask Please save her." There was a hint of pleading in Teacher Chen's tone. He had not spoken in such a low voice for many years.
