Till death let us meet

The familiar smell of tobacco passed through his nose.

Sun Xiu may have gone to smoke, but she will have an operation tomorrow, and she doesn't have any relatives around her.

Shen Feng paused, but turned back.

"Hello, Miss Sun."

Sun Xiu's lips were chapped, and she looked at the man who followed in with some surprise, and she was sure that he was not her relative or friend.

"I'm Brother Zhang's distant relative Shen Feng. I'm here to help Brother Zhang tidy up the room. There is this e-cigarette in Brother Zhang's room. Grandpa Zhang said it might be yours, so I brought it here. Are you going to have surgery tomorrow? Yes What surgery? Is anyone taking care of you?"

The last few sentences were asked on behalf of Uncle Zhang. He was immersed in his sad world, ignoring his wife who was still alive, and had no idea what was wrong with her body.

"A minor operation on the lungs is not a problem. They are all my colleagues here. It's all right, and I have hired a nurse." Although Sun Xiu didn't know this so-called distant relative, she was quite friendly when someone cared about her. Her eyes are still full of loneliness and desolation.

"Lung surgery? Then..." Why are you still smoking? Shen Feng didn't say this in the end.

Uncle Zhang Xian tremblingly looked at his scrawny wife, walked up to her side, wanted to touch her, but couldn't at all. .

"You want to ask me why I smoke when my lungs are so severe that I need an operation..." Sun Xiu has been a head nurse for many years and has dealt with countless difficult patients. I understood what Shen Feng meant.

"I am 54 years old. My only son died, and my husband died. My father passed away ten years ago, and my mother passed away five years ago." Her voice was very calm, without the slightest wave, as if she was chatting What matters is not my own life or death, but daily topics such as the fine weather today, "What does it matter when a person like me dies? Surgery is not important... smoking is not important... the fact that I am alive is originally It's not a big deal..."

Shen Feng felt that his heart had been hit hard. What Sun Xiu said just now was to tell him that being alive no longer meant much to her.So sober, so cruel, yet so real.Xiao Qiao had already covered her face and began to sob again. All this seemed too intense for the young dead soul.

Wanting to search for words to say some comforting words, Shen Feng found that he couldn't say anything.He didn't know how he responded and how he got out of the hospital.

Back at the office, he ran into his neighbor, Aunt Chen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, at the alley. After his father disappeared, Aunt Chen, who worked in the civil affairs department, took good care of him at that time.He greeted Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen saw that his expression was a little bad, so she enthusiastically asked him if something happened to him, and he told Aunt Chen about Zhang Xian's family.

"There are quite a lot of situations like this. There is a relative in my family who is in a situation similar to hers." Aunt Chen's expression also became serious. "But her situation at that time was even more serious than the one you mentioned."

"More serious?" Shen Feng repeated subconsciously.

"My relative is a policewoman who used to be a provincial Sanda champion. Even though she was old enough to subdue a few ordinary people, it was still easy. When her husband and only son were out for a walk, they were hit by a drunk driver, and the two died on the spot. , the scene was very tragic. She dealt with the accident calmly on the surface, without even shedding tears. At that time, our relatives always felt that she was so cold-blooded, and many people gossiped about her behind her back. In fact..." Aunt Chen pursed her lips, clenched her palms tightly, loosened her collar as if she couldn't breathe, and sighed.

Shen Feng listened to her without blinking his eyes, and Xiao Qiao on the side did the same.

"When she went to the driver's house, I accompanied her. The other party's family was not rich, and both parents were sick. The driver was the mainstay at home. After she went, the driver's family grew up The scene of six people kneeling on the ground in unison, begging my relatives for forgiveness, was really shocking, and I found out later that this kneeling saved the lives of their whole family." Aunt Chen took a deep breath, "Actually, that night, my relative secretly brought a boning knife and tied it to the calf with plastic wrap. She said that as long as the other party said a bad word at that time, she would kill their whole family. See later It was also miserable to go to the other party's house, and after killing these people, her relatives could not come back, so she finally gave up. The cold sweat of my life was all shed when I heard her words."

"Then what happened afterwards? How did she do?" Shen Feng's heart was trembling again.He seemed to be able to see that scene unfolding in front of his eyes. The mother, who was calm on the surface but actually set off a turbulent inside, stood in front of the perpetrator and his relatives, judging them by the inner conscience and the urge to kill.

"Cancer, later she got esophageal cancer, but... the cancer was early stage, she didn't go for treatment... She applied to join the anti-narcotics brigade as an undercover agent. She was responsible for a major case that was cracked in the city years ago, and she died later. During the shootout between drug dealers," Aunt Chen's voice had already started to choke, "she has no immediate family members, and even the ashes were collected for her...Her funeral was very lonely..."

"So, what can I do..."

If you can do something, do what you can for Sister Sun.

"To be honest, I don't know, but there is a Mutual Aid Association for the Lost Only in the city. You can ask this elder sister to join in. When the other party has no immediate family members, you can arrange for someone to accompany her temporarily."

"Thank you, Aunt Chen, please leave me your contact information, the Mutual Aid Association."

The two chatted for a few more words, but Shen Feng was out of his mind. He held the contact information in the palm of his hand, and his heart was agitated.

"Shen Feng, Shen Feng..." Seeing that his expression was wrong, Xiao Qiao started calling his name, and it took him a long time to recover.

"I feel a little sad. Although I know that I shouldn't have too much personal affection for my clients, but... Seeing such a thing, it is really impossible to remain indifferent." Shen Feng said melancholy.

"Then just do what you want," Xiao Qiao immediately replied, "Shen Feng, do you feel sad because you feel the same way?"

"maybe."

Not far away, the thin Zhang Xian was still standing motionless, wondering if he had heard the conversation between Shen Feng and the neighbor's aunt.

"It hasn't disappeared yet, that uncle..."

Xiao Qiao pointed to Zhang Xian who was beside him with dull eyes. He didn't even show signs of fading, let alone disappearing.

"He still cares about the living. If he cares so much, why would he seek death..." Xiao Qiao lowered her head and muttered.

"Living is a painful thing. When he feels that the pain exceeds the limit he can bear, he will choose to die. Besides, isn't there something wrong with his mental state? It is easy to have such a situation."

"Speak like you're an expert."

"I'm not an expert, what about you?"

"What made me say, I'm still so young, how can I understand?"

"If you have time to talk back to me, why not remember where you came from!"

The two argued again, each refusing to give in.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Shen Feng turned on his laptop.

[Human beings cannot survive alone.No contact with anyone, lonely, lonely life, it will be like a rusty machine, one day something will go wrong, and then it will never move again. 】

"What are you writing? Diary?" Xiao Qiao lay on Shen Feng's shoulder again, and started his daily routine of peeping.

Pa, Shen Feng closed the laptop, his face flushed red with an unbearable expression.

"I said you, can you stand quietly like that uncle without making a sound?"

"It's not that he doesn't want to make a sound, it's just that you can't hear what he said. Why are you so sensitive? What's the matter if you watch it? If you don't turn on the TV, I'm bored." Xiao Qiao seemed to be suffocating. The puppy who vented everywhere, ran around the room.

"Human patience has a limit. If you continue like this, you will never be shown TV dramas or movies in the future." Shen Feng said firmly.

"Okay, I got it. Do you want to tell that aunt the information about the Lost Only Mutual Aid Association?"

"Well, I'll go when tomorrow's work is finished."

"There isn't even a single photo in that uncle's house..."

"Hmm... Maybe it will be sad to see it."

Unable to see anything related to his son, he suppressed extreme pain until he couldn't stand it and chose to die.

"Shen Feng...why do you want to sort out the relics? You don't look very happy about it..."

"Is there any need to ask, of course it's because this business is relatively profitable."

"Then you can actually engage in other industries now. I saw the money in your passbook..." Xiao Qiao suddenly became happy, "You can open a milk tea shop. I know an exclusive formula for milk tea, which can definitely make people feel happy. You are on fire!"

"You're still peeping at other people's passbooks, are you peeping while I'm taking a shower?" Shen Feng really couldn't bear this guy's interference, "Return the secret recipe of milk tea, were you the owner of a milk tea shop before? What's up?"

"No, I just saw Auntie Chen carrying the bag of milk tea just now, and a thought popped into my head... If you don't sort out the relics, you can do other things..."

"Some things are not done because you are happy to do them. Instead, someone has to do them." Looking at Xiao Qiao's childish face, Shen Feng felt that he was both cute and naive. "It doesn't matter whether you are happy or sad. That's my job, and I'll keep doing it as long as someone needs it."

"As you like, I can't even imagine what the milk tea made by the people who sorted out the corpses tastes like..." Xiao Qiao pouted angrily.

"Hearing what you said, I really want to try it. Hand over your secret milk tea recipe."

"Never!"

In the end, Shen Feng used the broadcast rights of the five movies to exchange for the secret recipe of milk tea.He excitedly ran to a nearby small supermarket to buy black tea and milk.

"Fresh milk, fresh milk!" Xiao Qiao wanted to grab his ear and talk.

"It's the same with this one! What's the difference if it's all milk." Shen Feng ignored him at all.

"Black tea! It's black tea from Lapsang Souchong!"

"There's only Lipton here, and it's about the same anyway."

"It's a lot worse!"

"It's all right, Tang's family has it, all right, go home."

"Surely it won't taste good!"

"How do you know if you don't try."
