Horse head wall

Tao Feng seemed to have finally remembered that he still had a son in Pingshan Village, and he took Tao Xuan and Grandma Tao to Guangzhou this year to celebrate the New Year. He had done a good job in Guangzhou over the past few years, made a lot of money, and even bought two houses.

The year was spent in Tao Feng's newly bought house.

The decoration of the new house is light and luxurious, but the European-style furniture is incompatible with the display of items in the home. Under the arch of the living room in the style of Roman Ionic columns is a toy car for children with fancy decorations. On the classical leather sofa It is covered with crotch pants worn by children.

The European style and the market are incompatible, forming a nondescript style.

Tao Xuan stood in the entrance with his and Grandma Tao's luggage, watching his stepmother chasing the little girl under four years old to feed the room.

"Xiaoxiao, it's the last bite of rice, and we can play after eating the shrimp." The woman patiently and gently coaxed the little girl with two braids.

The little girl squirmed to avoid the spoon that the woman extended to her mouth, holding a messy Barbie doll with ripped hair in her hand, "I don't want to eat this!" The spoiled child was a little unreasonable.

Tao Feng put the car keys away, and after washing his hands in the bathroom, he saw that Tao Xuan and Grandma Tao hadn't moved, "Xiaozi, why are you standing there stupidly? Bring grandma in."

Tao Xuan looked at the clean floor in front of him, but didn't speak.

"Hey, blame me, blame me, I forgot to feed you." The woman put down the bowl, hurriedly took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet, put one pair at Grandma Tao's feet, "Mom, you wear these."

Grandma Tao thanked her and was about to change her shoes. The old man's muscles and bones were a little weak, and he couldn't bend down. Tao Xuan helped his grandma stand up straight, and bent down to help the old man change.

It was the first time for a woman to see Tao Xuan, "Is that you? Hello."

"Hello, Auntie." Tao Xuan nodded and greeted.

"I've heard from your father a long time ago that Youzi looks handsome and has good grades and is sensible and obedient. You are our role model for Xiaoxiao." The woman smiled and looked easy to get along with.

Attracted by the movement at the door, Xiaoxiao left the Barbie doll and ran towards the entrance, holding her mother's clothes and looking at Tao Yao. She had never seen this boy before, and his big black and clear eyes were full of strangeness, with a hint of Be wary.

"Xiaoxiao, this is your brother, call him brother." The woman pushed the little girl in front of Tao Xuan, persuading her carefully.

No matter how the woman coaxed her, Xiaoxiao refused to speak.

The woman was helpless, and apologized, "Yuzai, don't mind, children recognize their birth, as long as they are familiar with each other, it will be fine."

"It's okay, Auntie."

Tao Xuan didn't care, Tao Feng's home gave him even less sense of belonging than Jingxian Hall.

The new house is full of traces of Xiaoxiao and women's lives. Although the house is large, Grandma Tao lives in a very reserved way. layer.

The stepmother is from Cantonese, and she can't get used to the dried bamboo shoots brought by Grandma Tao, and Grandma Tao is used to being busy at home, and she lives in the city for a while and doesn't work. .

"Mom, it's okay, just take a break and watch TV. Xiaoxiao's food is hard to feed."

"I'm idle anyway, come, Xiaoxiao, come to grandma." Grandma Tao held a porcelain bowl in her hand and called to the little girl hiding in the distance. It was a strange face that hid behind her mother again, and the old man refused to answer no matter how he called.

Grandma Tao handed the bowl to the woman awkwardly, "You should do it."

The woman was also a little embarrassed, and wanted to ease the atmosphere, "Xiaoxiao, grandma is calling you, go to grandma's side." She pushed the little girl, and Xiaoxiao became impatient with being pushed, so she screamed at the top of her voice.

The child's scream was like a lethal ultrasonic wave, and Tao Xuan's ears were pierced with sharp pain.

He went to the balcony and closed the door, pinched his mobile phone and looked into the distance. The Guangzhou he remembered as a child has become a fragmented memory. Now that he returns to Guangzhou, Tao Xuan doesn't feel like returning home at all.

The place with dense bamboo forests, continuous drizzle, painted lattice windows and horse-headed walls is his hometown.

Still no news of Wang Hongli.

Tao Xuan is not a person who is keen on checking social platforms, but Wang Hongli seems to have disappeared from his life. QQ is not online, and his phone is always turned off when he calls him. The chat history in WeChat is still stuck in the " You boy, don't wait for me, I won't go to school tonight (っ′Ι`)っ".

The phone vibrated suddenly, and Tao Xuan's heart trembled. When he slid open the screen, he found that it was an advertisement push from the app. Disappointment swept over him like a tide.

New Year's Eve.

Tao Feng looked at the four people in front of him and showed a satisfied smile, "Our family is all together for Chinese New Year this year."

A table of dishes was cooked by Tao Xuan's stepmother. Grandma Tao wanted to intervene, but the woman refused.

His grandma didn't seem very comfortable since she got on the table. Tao Xuan thought that the old man was not used to Guangzhou dishes, "Grandma? Would you like some fish soup?" The fish soup is closer to the taste of the old man, so he wants to get a bowl for the old man Soup.

Grandma Tao held Tao Yao down, "Yuzi, no need." She said to everyone, "It's a little uncomfortable, I'll go lie down for a while." Grandma Tao stood up slowly supporting the table.

"Mom? Are you okay? Don't you have a good appetite?" Tao Feng saw the old man clutching his stomach, thinking that she was not acclimatized, so the woman also asked, "Mom, how about I make you some porridge?"

"It's okay, I'll just lie down for a while." The old man's face was pale, and he walked towards the room with a slight stoop.

Seeing that Grandma Tao looked uneasy, Tao Xuan frowned, "Dad, I think I should take Grandma to the hospital."

The man hesitated, "Now? Has your grandma ever felt this uncomfortable before?" Tao Feng felt ashamed and didn't go back to Pingshan Village all the year round. He didn't even know his mother's situation.

"Would you like to observe for a while?" the woman suggested.

The table was full of dishes, and Xiaoxiao next to her was grabbing Tao Xuan's stepmother's sleeve to eat shrimp dumplings, making a fuss and chattering.

"Okay, okay." The woman pulled the drawer closer and took a shrimp dumpling to feed the little girl.

Tao Xuan's eyes were full of persistence, "I'm going now, grandma was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis the year before last."

Neither Tao Feng nor Tao Xuan's stepmother knew what cirrhosis of the liver was, "cirrhosis of the liver? Does it matter?"

"I have to go to the hospital first--" Before Tao Huan finished speaking, he heard a sound of vomiting in the guest room, his heart tightened, and he ran to the room immediately.

The old man lying on the bed tilted his head, and the bright red blood poured out of his mouth, staining the white sheet crimson. Grandma Tao yelled inarticulately because she had no strength to vomit blood, "Yuzai... young……"

Tao Feng followed Tao Xuan into the room. Seeing his mother like this, he was stunned for a moment. After recovering, he shook his hands and took out his mobile phone to call 120.Tao Xuan held back the tears that were about to overflow and yelled at Tao Feng, "120 is too late! Go drive!"

The man frantically looked for the car keys.

Grandma Tao is not very heavy, but Tao Huan is a teenager after all, and it is a bit difficult to hold it. He dare not carry it on his back, fearing that it will stimulate the old man to vomit more blood.

Tao Feng drove like a racing car, running through several traffic lights along the way.

The old man didn't vomit blood after being carried into the car. She held Tao Lian's hand tightly, as if she was holding a thought she couldn't let go, and she murmured, "Liuzi, don't be afraid, grandma can hold on."

Tao Xuan's heart sank heavily, as if the blood pumped into the ventricle had turned into lead, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure, he was slightly stiff while holding the old man's arm in the same position, "Grandma, don't worry about it!" Speak, the hospital is almost here, almost here."

Grandma Tao saw that Tao Xuan was so nervous, she forced a distorted smile to comfort the young man, but before she could pull the smile away, a surge of nausea rushed up her throat, she opened her mouth almost reflexively, and the blood flowed from the esophagus The blood gushed out and splashed on Tao Xuan's face.

Tao Xuan tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart, urging Tao Feng to drive faster over and over again, the boy's black eyes were covered with mist, and the blood dripping on his white face seemed to be a signal from the god of death.

"What underlying disease did the patient have before?" The doctor wearing a mask and two or three nurses carried Grandma Tao, who was still vomiting blood intermittently, to the mobile hospital bed, and asked Tao Xuan and Tao Feng who accompanied her.

"I have liver cirrhosis." The boy said concisely.

"When did you start vomiting blood?" The doctor asked the nurse to open the venous access.

"Half an hour ago." Tao Xuan said.

"The patient vomited too much blood and needed a hemostatic balloon to stop the bleeding."

Two more doctors came to the emergency room, and a group of doctors and nurses gathered around the bed and started first aid.

The tube protruding into the esophagus made Grandma Tao feel uncomfortable. The old man struggled, and Tao Ling hurriedly squeezed her hand, "Grandma, bear with it, just bear with it."

Grandma Tao, who was on the verge of shock, didn't know where the strength came from, and instinctively pulled out the tube, "Yuzai, it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable." He pulled out his hand, "Hold on to grandma, it will be fine in a while."

"Hey, old lady, this is to save your life, can you cooperate with me?" The doctor has already stretched the tube down the throat, but it has not yet reached the stomach.

Grandma Tao struggled to find Tao Xuan's face, "Good boy...do you remember the password of grandma's passbook?"

"Grandma, don't talk, we will get better soon."

"Good boy... grandma can't worry about you."

The old man's constant talking made it difficult for the doctor to insert the tube, so he said helplessly, "The family members should go out first, the old lady is always talking, the tube can't go in."

Tao Xuan obeyed the doctor's order and left the emergency room with Tao Feng.

It's like a silent movie, only the movement has no sound, the glass door cuts off all the sound, but the emergency room is busy all the time.

Tao Xuan's body began to tremble slightly, he found a chair in the emergency room and sat down, took a deep breath to calm his emotions, but the trembling fingertips showed the failure of his emotional control.

He took out his mobile phone, dialed Wang Hongli's number and dialed it.

"Beep, beep, beep, the phone you dialed is in the middle of a call..."

The nipple in his mouth was bitten by his teeth, oozing out traces of sweet blood, endless despair and loss overwhelmed Tao Xuan, sitting in the overcrowded emergency room, he seemed to be in the wilderness, alone Wandering in the dark, all alone.

The two closest relatives, one is in the emergency room, and the other is in Suzhou, more than 1000 kilometers away.

He misses him so much.

"Mom! What's the matter with my calling card? Sometimes the calls can be answered, and sometimes I can't receive them, and I can't receive messages. What's going on?" Wang Hongli yelled at Wang Yi who was on the balcony with an apple in his mouth. .

"Can't hear you, wait until I finish drying the clothes." Wang Yi hung the coat on the clothes rack, stepped on the slippers and went to the living room, "You ask me, I don't know, I will take you to get a Suzhou number next time Don't use that one."

"No, you still have my phone number."

"Just talk to him on QQ or WeChat."

"Oh, that's annoying. You need to bind your phone number to log in to QQ and WeChat on your new mobile phone. I can't receive the information, and I can't verify the verification code." Wang Hongli repeatedly played with the new mobile phone Wang Yi bought for him, complaining bitterly. , "Bad phone."

"Hehe, the phone is still rotten. Wouldn't it be nice for me to buy it for you with your mother?" Wang Yi took a piece of apple and chewed it, "Don't worry, you are so busy at school that you don't need your phone. I will take you with you after the year." Go do it again."

Then during the Chinese New Year, Wang Yi forgot because she was busy in the store. Wang Hongli was anxious, but there was no way.Wang Yi promised him that he would definitely take him to do it after school started. Wang Hongli was a bit struggling to keep up with the progress of Suzhou High School. He was busy studying every day, and in the end he forgot to ask Wang Yi to take him to get a phone card.

Wang Hongli's mobile phone did not resume stable calling and network functions until he passed the unified examination in the first semester of high school.
