PDLP Chapter 98 Death
Chapter 98 Death
There is no meaning, there is no meaning in living!
In January, the water in the Heisha River flows slowly.
There was some ice on the edge, not thick, and it broke into pieces when you stepped on it, just like your heart, which had been shattered into pieces.
A pair of cotton shoes, soaked in water, felt heavy.
The same thing happened with my cotton pants, which felt like they were filled with lead and were pulling my body down.
The northwest wind howled in my ears, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, but who cares?
It’s cold, bitingly cold, colder than the heart.
The weight of the body, the weight of the clothes, and the speed of sinking were all so sudden and unexpected.
It is also this dress that, when it sinks to a certain point, due to buoyancy, the acceleration slowly decreases and it floats up again.
Float up, sink down, and float up again...
Over and over again, I choked on the water several times.
Water poured into my ears, and I began to lose my hearing, the sound of the wind, the sound of the water...
For a few seconds, a sharp electronic sound rang in my ears, and then disappeared.
A sudden desire to survive, a subconscious act of self-rescue.
The movements were standard, without any thrashing, the limbs were placed steadily, and the head was tilted upwards...
Living is meaningless, but dying is too painful...
But what's the meaning of living...
Fold up your limbs and prepare to die again...
"Hold on to your scarf! Don't sleep!"
"Catch him!" The voice was a little urgent. Seeing that the person in the water didn't move, he became even more furious.
Ugh......
No fear, no panic,
No cold, no suffocation,
There is a sense of peace that comes from having reached another world.
Still, as if outside of time.
I was suddenly forcibly taken out of my tranquility, having been immersed in the lightness and selflessness of the previous moment...
Have to return to reality.
There was water in my ears, I couldn't hear anything, and my mouth and nose were burning with pain.
He wiped his face and sat up.
It was a shallow beach, and when I sat up, the water just covered my legs.
No vomiting, but a bitter taste in the mouth, and I spat a few times.
It was clearly a feeling of relief, so why was I forced to be pulled out...
Who pulled him out?
Lin Xianglan looked around blankly, but there was no one.
But, in his hand he was tugging at a piece of fabric, a scarf that was not his own.
She slowly stood up and looked into the Black Sand River. In the distance, she saw a hat floating...
A sudden fear hit me, and my body began to tremble, the pain piercing my heart.
Lin Xianglan folded her arms and looked at the sky, which was gradually getting dark.
She walked out of the Heisha River tremblingly and headed towards the county town along a small path.
On the way, they met a donkey cart. A kind couple pulled her onto the cart, packed her with all the clothes that could be packed on the cart, and rode at full speed to the city.
"Sister, where is your home? Shall we take you back?" asked the woman in the car.
"Home?" Lin Xianglan's big, blank eyes were lifeless.
"Then you can go to our house first and we'll change your clothes. It's easy for you to get sick." Looking at this beautiful woman with a pale face, he felt a little worried, not knowing what she had gone through.
"Thank you!"
In the small house on the outskirts of the city, the man arrived home and quickly lit the stove. When the fire started, Lin Xianglan felt cold. She shivered and her upper and lower teeth chattered.
The woman saw that Lin Xianglan's face was not right, "Big sister, are you okay?"
Lin Xianglan's lips were as pale as her face, completely devoid of any color.
The woman reached out and felt her forehead burning hot.
"Oh, what should I do! I have a fever!" The woman was very anxious.
"Come on, take off all your clothes, put on my clothes, and go to the kang." The kang was ready and soon became hot.
The woman dragged Lin Xianglan onto the kang and pressed two quilts on top of her.
Lin Xianglan stared at the beams with empty eyes.
"What do you think we should do? Let's not let anyone get killed!" The woman discussed with the man worriedly.
"Oh, that's right. Otherwise, just watch over me while I go find Doctor Li."
"Where's the money?"
"We can't just stand by and watch someone die..."
"Go, go, go, go quickly, and come back soon!"
Almost an hour later, the man led an old doctor into the house.
Taking the pulse...
"She's pregnant!"
"Ah? What a sin!"
"I'll prescribe some medicine to save his life first. The child will depend on fate! Please take me back later and bring the medicine back to boil."
"This money?"
"Eat first, we'll talk later. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. What about these two lives?"
"Hey, hey, hey, thank you, Doctor Li."
......
Three days later, Lin Xianglan recovered and sat on the edge of the kang in a daze.
"Sister, I don't know what's happened to you, but you're pregnant now, so don't do anything rash." The woman, sitting on the kang, advised, "Does the child have a father?"
Lin Xianglan sighed, her face calm, and nodded.
"Sister, if a couple has a conflict, they can make up after a quarrel. There is nothing they can't get over. But now that you have a child, if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child!" The woman kept nagging and advising.
Lin Xianglan swallowed her saliva, her throat hurt as if she had swallowed a razor blade.
"Thank you, I understand. I'll go home now."
"I'll let my man take you back?"
"No, it's nearby."
"Let me take you home!" The woman insisted on sending her home, probably because she was afraid that Lin Xianglan would try to commit suicide again.
"Okay." Lin Xianglan responded and looked at the woman again.
The woman understood, "Yeah, I know." She turned and picked up a folded scarf from the kang, "Big sister, this one is also washed!"
When Lin Xianglan saw the scarf, she was stunned. She remembered the hat floating in the Black Sand River.
The corners of his mouth twitched and he finally burst into tears!
She put away the scarf and took the woman home.
Her home is in a building in the bank's family compound in the city center.
The woman looked at it, stunned, and thought to herself, "They are obviously from a wealthy family, what else can they be so upset about!"
The woman saw him off to the door and said goodbye, "Then I'm going home!"
"Wait a moment!" Lin Xianglan said and ran upstairs. After a while, she came down and stuffed a stack of money into the woman's hand. "Thank you!"
The woman refused, but still accepted it.
After seeing the woman off, Lin Xianglan returned home. No one was at home. There was a key placed on the heating pipe behind the door. She used that key to open the door.
Go into the house, take a shower and change clothes.
She sat on the sofa, touching her belly, tears streaming down her face!
Lin Xianglan hid the scarf in her closet.
On the weekend, Wei Qifeng returned home. Lin Xianglan had prepared a meal and said calmly, "I'm pregnant!"
Wei Qifeng stood up from his chair, so excited that he wanted to hug Lin Xianglan, but he didn't dare. He walked around the room, crying and laughing with excitement.
Over the weekend, both the Lin and Wei families knew the good news.
Lin Xianglan began to take care of the family like a normal wife and go for prenatal checkups like a normal pregnant woman.
Lin Xianglan lives like a normal person!
It’s just not because of myself anymore!
