Dip in fire

Chapter 100 "Extremely bad."

Zhong Ning couldn't sit still at home and went to the airport early.

Catch up with the Spring Festival to return to work, although the sky is still a tender gray just waking up, there are quite a lot of people in the airport.Zhong Ning even froze for a moment when he entered the door.

Individuals always ignore how big the world is, the countless you and me in the world, the insomnia and early waking up, the hard work and accidents in the world.

Zhong Ning took the ticket, went through the security check and found a place to sit down, listening to the muffled sounds of the airport.He stared at the soles of his feet coming and going, and gasped for breath while clutching at the apex of his heart.

When a person is in a huge environment, realizes the insignificance of the self, and cannot touch the hands that can accompany him, the timidity in his nature will be frightened, and he will panic unreasonably.

For example, Zhong Ning, thinking about Zhang Weilan now makes her flustered.

The phone rang.Zhong Ning took it out and saw that it was Zhang Weilan's phone number.

This phone call saved Zhong Ning's heart.The apex of the gripping heart was let go instantly.

"Zhang Weilan?" Zhong Ning's voice was a little anxious, but very soft.Light enough to sound frightening.

This time it's not Xiaohuan, it's really Zhang Weilan.

"It's me." Zhang Weilan paused, and asked Zhong Ning on the phone, "Zhong Ning, are you scared?"

Zhong Ning took a deep breath.Why didn't he realize before that he liked Zhang Weilan calling him by his name so much.

"You still have the nerve to ask?" Zhong Ning said angrily.After hating it, his heart ached, and he felt extremely wronged. He picked up the phone and cursed, "Bastard, how much do you like the hospital? Time and time again, you just treat the hospital as your home and live with the hospital. If you If you do this again, believe it or not, I'll kill you?"

If Zhang Weilan was in front of him now, Zhong Ning would have tightly strangled that bastard in his arms, and strangled all the bones in his body, not a single one remained.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Zhang Weilan admitted his mistake honestly, "I was wrong. I promise I will never go to the hospital again. I promise I will live a long life and never scare you again."

Zhong Ning was frightened by Zhang Weilan again and again, and he was really promising. He lived to almost 30 years, and the more he lived, the more he went back.As soon as his eyes hurt, he almost wet his face in public.

He remembered that Zhang Weilan's parents died in a car accident.How creepy is the wheel thing?Rolling around, rolling around, in just a moment, the person is gone, much faster than panting.

How to think how to be afraid.

"Zhong Ning?" Zhang Weilan called Zhong Ning again.

"Yeah." Zhong Ning took a long breath, pushing the emotion stuck in his throat back to his belly, "Xiao Huan said that your arm is broken, does it hurt?"

This nonsense question must be very painful.

Zhong Ning asked again: "Is there any discomfort?"

"It doesn't hurt. It's not uncomfortable." Zhang Weilan smiled, and coughed twice again. This time the cough didn't go well, and she even choked, and the cough became more severe.

Zhong Ning frowned: "You rest, sleep, I will be there when you wake up."

"Cough...here?" Zhang Weilan froze for a moment.

Before Xiaohuan had time to tell Zhang Weilan that Zhong Ning would come.But it's not bad for Xiao Huan, it's for Zhang Weilan herself, it's for him to call Zhong Ning instead of asking 21 as soon as he opened his eyes and his mind just cleared up.

Zhang Weilan realized now: "You want to come over?"

"Otherwise? I'm at the airport right now. You're lying in a hospital two thousand kilometers away, can I stay?" Zhong Ning sighed, "Your conscience has been bitten by a dog. Why did I go blind, You have to see a bastard like you."

Zhang Weilan didn't speak, just laughed.Zhong Ning's ears felt soft and hurt when he heard the deep and slightly weak laughter.

"Okay, let's rest now. Obediently wait for me to pass." Zhong Ning said.

"it is good."

The plane flew for three hours.After landing, Zhong Ning didn't have time to feel the damp and cold atmosphere in the south, so he took a taxi and went straight to the hospital.

He was full of wind and dust all the way, and his body was covered with a bitter smell.Zhong Ning glanced at the ward number that Xiao Huan had sent him, and strode hurriedly to the inpatient department.

He walked along without looking at anyone, until someone called him from behind, Zhong Ning paused.

"Brother Zhong Ning? Is it Brother Zhong Ning?"

Zhong Ning turned his head and saw a little girl standing behind him holding two boxes of porridge.

This girl is not tall, but fair-looking, the most conspicuous thing on that small face is a pair of round big almond eyes.

Even though the women's university has changed, Zhong Ning recognized it right away—it was Xiao Huan on the opposite side.

"Xiao Huan?" Zhong Ning took two steps forward, walked up to Xiao Huan, smiled at her, and couldn't help feeling, "You've become a big girl."

The little girl who was hugged by him on his lap to make fun of it back then has grown up so much now.He and Zhang Weilan have really wasted too many years and matured too much.

"Brother Zhong Ning..."

Just as Zhong Ning smiled, the corners of Xiao Huan's mouth choked up, and her crying immediately followed.When she saw Zhong Ning, it was like seeing her long-lost father, and she burst into tears instantly.

Xiao Huan stretched out her hand and tugged Zhong Ning's sleeve, as if she was afraid that Zhong Ning would lose it, and complained in a daze: "Where have you been all these years? Why did you come here?"

Zhong Ning: "..."

Zhong Ning didn't know what to do.If Xiao Huan went back eight or nine years, he would just hug this girl and coax her.But now I can't be coaxed.

Looking at Xiao Huan's painted face, Zhong Ning felt a headache.The same is true for Xiao Huan, who has grown into a big girl, and the problem of being able to cry has not changed.On the contrary, the crying bag has evolved into a big crying bag since childhood, and those eyes are so big and juicy, and the reason for being daring is to shed tears.

People around looked at them.But no one paid much attention to the scene.

All the hospitals in the country are like this. There are countless crying and crying, and there are countless busy and tired mourners.Only in this kind of place, no one will watch the excitement without feeling back pain.

Zhong Ning said helplessly, "Xiao Huan, don't cry, you still cry at this age. Come with brother, don't stick around in the middle of the road."

Xiao Huan nodded, wiped her face, and went to stand by the corridor with Zhong Ning.

Although the windows are not open in winter, but when we are close to the windows, we can still feel the cold air leaking in through the cracks of the windows.

Xiao Huan put the porridge bought for Zhang Weilan on the window sill, Zhong Ning handed her a tissue, and she wiped her face again.

Zhong Ning looked at the little girl opposite.She guarded Zhang Weilan all night last night, and she didn't sleep all night, her complexion is not very good, and her crying is even more distressing.

Zhong Ning sighed: "What's the matter with you? Haven't seen you for how many years, and you cry when you see me?"

Xiao Huan wrinkled her nose and said embarrassingly, "I couldn't hold back..."

Zhong Ning forced a smile: "How is your brother?"

"Fall asleep. I fell asleep after calling you." Xiao Huan said, "Last night, his arm hurt badly, and he was dizzy and vomited. He was always in a daze and didn't have a good rest."

Zhong Ning felt uncomfortable again after hearing this, and couldn't help but whispered: "It's too painful."

Xiao Huan looked at Zhong Ning's face, and smiled ugly: "But he is very happy to know that you are coming."

Zhong Ning pursed his lower lip and was silent for a moment.No wonder, after so many years, Xiao Huan has been clinging to Zhang Weilan all day long, even a blind person can figure it out. .

Zhong Ning sighed again.

"Hmm...Brother Zhong Ning, can you..." Xiao Huan hesitated for a while, then suddenly made up her mind, staring at Zhong Ning closely, "I want to talk to you. Just A few words."

Zhong Ning was stunned for a moment.He was really anxious to see Zhang Weilan, but seeing Xiaohuan like this, he couldn't help but listen: "What's wrong?"

A few days ago, Xiao Huan kept asking Zhang Weilan about everything, but she couldn't directly ask Zhang Weilan if she had chased Zhong Ning back.She didn't know the inside story, even though Zhong Ning came over now, she didn't dare to speculate.

Xiao Huan gritted her teeth: "Brother Zhong Ning, don't blame me for talking too much, I'm just such a big brother. I don't want him to have a bad life."

Unable to understand the words, Xiao Huan just took the liberty of piercing the window paper: "I know my brother likes you."

Zhong Ning frowned, feeling a little awkward in his heart.Don't blame him, he has only seen Xiao Huan for a few minutes, and his impression of Xiao Huan is still that of when she was ten years old.Standing in front of him, Xiao Huan was suddenly urged by the blank time, and Zhong Ning couldn't react at all.

Xiao Huan struggled to speak, but still stared straight into Zhong Ning's eyes: "Can you... can you spare my brother? If you also have him in your heart, can you stop being angry with him? He really Very sorry."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that suddenly." Xiao Huan breathed out, probably terrified, "But if I can't find you again, I'm really afraid that something will happen to him sooner or later. I can't live without my brother."

Zhong Ning's heart sank, and he asked Xiao Huan with a restrained expression, "What do you mean?"

"My brother won't say anything. He must have told you nothing." Xiao Huan said with sore throat, "He has had a very bad life these years."

Xiao Huan repeated again: "It's very bad."

"I...know." Zhong Ning lowered his head and stammered.

Xiao Huan was silent for a while, then shook her head: "You don't know."

Xiao Huan sniffled: "He doesn't take himself seriously at all."

Xiao Huan: "He used to be in good health, but in the past few years he has changed his ways and tossed about without paying attention, and he will easily get sick."

"I know." Zhong Ning moved his Adam's apple, as if something heavy was stuck in his throat, he was stunned, unable to swallow, "He has a bad stomach."

Xiao Huan was silent for two seconds: "No one can take care of him."

The heavy object in the throat fell down and got stuck in the center of Zhong Ning's chest again.

"There is no one around him." Xiao Huan fluttered her eyelids, trying not to shed tears again, "I used to be too young to take care of him. When I grew up, he kept pushing me away."

"He is always alone." Xiaohuan asked Zhong Ning, "How can a person live by himself? Can he survive?"

"I... also know." Zhong Ning frowned, looked at Xiao Huan, "From now on I..." His chest was so painful that he couldn't speak.

Zhong Ning recalled that at the previous gathering, he and Zhang Weilan sent Yang Jian, who was drinking too much, home together. At that time, he asked Zhang Weilan "how have you been these years" in Yang Jian's community, and Zhang Weilan said lightly, "It's not good. ".

Zhong Ning understood that it was "not good", but only then did he realize that it was really tens of thousands of times worse than the worst he had imagined.

How "bad" is it for Xiao Huan, a younger sister, to drag him on to say these things?

Zhang Weilan's shoulders have been hard since she was a child, she can carry a big beam, and she can consider others, especially Xiao Huan.He always treasures Xiaohuan and gives Xiaohuan the best side.It can be seen that he has been so "bad" over the years that he can't even be a "brother".

"Brother Zhong Ning, do you still remember what you gave him?" Xiao Huan asked Zhong Ning.

Zhong Ning couldn't figure it out for a while, and asked subconsciously, "What is it?"

"Schoolbag, a scarf, and a note. I sent the note back then." Xiao Huan looked at Zhong Ning with big eyes, afraid that Zhong Ning would say that he forgot.

"Yes, I remember." Zhong Ning couldn't forget.

The schoolbag was the first time he lowered his face to be kind to Zhang Weilan. He was young and energetic at the time, so he sneaked over without tearing himself apart.

The scarf was specially bought for Zhang Weilan with the money he earned from his first part-time job.

Not to mention the note.

Truly unforgettable.How could he forget?

"My brother will definitely not tell you." Xiao Huan kept her voice low, as if she didn't dare to continue.

For the next 2 minutes, Zhong Ning just wanted to dismantle himself into pieces and throw him into the soil to bury him.Only in this way can he be comfortable.

Xiao Huan said: "About three years ago, my brother and his postgraduate classmates did market research together."

"That winter was extremely cold. The school provided limited funds, and the hotel they stayed in had no air conditioning. There was no heating in the south either."

"I used an electric heater in the house, but I forgot to turn it off, and it caught fire."

Xiao Huan: "My brother was outside at the time, and there was no one in the house. He was lucky. But he insisted on running in because the things you gave him were still inside. Schoolbags, scarves, and notes were caught in his wallet. .”

Xiao Huan made a hoarse voice: "It's a pity that nothing was brought out in the end."

Zhong Ning and Xiao Huan stood facing each other, unknowingly leaning against the wall.He had to find a support, otherwise he would slump to the ground and be unable to get up again.Zhong Ning couldn't imagine how dangerous it would be to catch fire when the winter in the south is extremely cold?The flame must have been redder, more choking, hotter.

Zhong Ning shuddered all over, and his back twitched violently.The burn under Zhang Weilan's left shoulder flashed through his mind.It must have been at that time.

He asked Zhang Weilan about the injury, what did Zhang Weilan say?

Zhang Weilan lied.He said "not important".Tell Zhong Ning not to ask.

- Fucking "not important".

Zhong Ning pressed his back against the wall more firmly, and cursed almost out of strength, "Is he sick? Is he crazy? When a fire breaks out, you don't greedy money. Even a five-year-old child knows that."

The air was quiet for a moment.

"Since then he has been looking for you." Xiao Huan continued, "He looked for you everywhere and ran to the north. But he has no contact with his former classmates, and he can't find any news about you."

"He even asked your high school teacher, but he found nothing." Xiao Huan walked up to Zhong Ning, bowed his head and said, "Brother Zhong Ning, really, my brother really misses you. Don't want him."

Zhong Ning didn't move for a while.Finally, he reached out and patted Xiao Huan's head: "Okay, don't worry. Don't cry, go wash your face."

After he finished speaking, he turned and picked up the porridge on the window sill: "I'll go see your brother first."

Xiao Huan still lowered her head, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

Zhong Ning walked by Xiao Huan, looking at the long and deep corridors of the hospital, passing by the square doors with closed doors.

He stepped on footsteps step by step, breathing lower and lower.In the end, he couldn't hold back, and raised his hand to grab the clothes on his chest.

——That chest hurts too much.
