I took the phone and looked at it, Liu Xiangxiu called.
When the phone was connected, Liu Xiangxiu's daughter-in-law's voice came through the receiver.
"Hello, Tang Xiangu. My mother is worried about Mr. Liu and urges me to call you. She just wants to ask if you have found Mr. Liu?"
Liu Yinglong's body was found.
But I didn't dare to say it directly, because if I spoke, Liu Xiangxiu could hear it. When she heard the news, she was filled with anger and blood. What should she do if it passes?
I didn't answer, but asked, "Auntie, is Grandma Liu next to you? Can she hear me?"
"I'm in the ward," Liu Xiangxiu's daughter-in-law said, "turn on the speakerphone so my mother can hear you. Tang Xiangu, is there any good news? Have you found Mr. Liu?"
Sure enough, you can hear it!
I said awkwardly, "Well, I found it, that's right..."
"Mom! Did you hear that Tang Xiangu found Mr. Liu!" Before I could finish my words, Liu Xiangxiu's daughter-in-law shouted excitedly to Liu Xiangxiu, "Mom, if you keep on holding on, Mr. Liu will be here soon. Yes. Mr. Liu will definitely cure your disease. You will be fine and we will be discharged from the hospital soon!"
After shouting, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
After a while, Liu Xiangxiu's daughter-in-law's voice sounded again, but this time, she lowered her voice, and it sounded like she was talking secretly.
"Tang Xiangu, I came out of the ward. You can tell me the truth. Did something happen to Mr. Liu?"
She heard the embarrassment in my voice.
I said, "Yes, Mr. Liu is dead."
"Ah!" There was a soft cry, followed by a suppressed cry covering the mouth.
"Tang Xiangu, I'm sorry, Mr. Liu is my family's protector. The success of our family is all protected by Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu is the ancestor of my family. Now that I know something happened to him, I feel so sad. It’s really uncomfortable. Tang Xiangu, thank you for finding Mr. Liu and telling us the news."
After I finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone before I could say anything else.
I held my phone and looked at Shuo Bai, "Let's go to the hospital to visit Liu Xiangxiu."
Judging from the meaning of her daughter-in-law's words, Liu Xiangxiu should be dying.
"She has plotted against us in the past. What she wanted was your life and mine. This time she showed weakness to you because she was asking for something from you, not because she really changed her attitude towards us. Even though you know this, you still want to go Look at her?"
I looked at Shuo Bai and said, "The dead are the most important."
She's going to die, let's just put our past grudges to rest.
"You are too soft-hearted."
Shuo Bai reached over, put his big hand on the top of my head, rubbed the top of my hair vigorously, and then said, "Let's go."
Even if he doesn't agree with the way I behave, he doesn't interfere much with me and is willing to accompany me to do these things.
I feel better about him more and more.
Thinking about it, I rushed over and pressed on Shuo Bai. I held his face with both hands and looked into his deep eyes, "Shuo Bai, I'm obsessed with love. I love you so much now."
Shuo Bai looked at me, with a smile in his eyes, and said mischievously, "If you keep doing this, we won't have to go to the hospital."
Understanding the meaning of his words, my cheeks turned red and I quickly got off him.
But as soon as I stood up on the floor, Shuo Bai grabbed my hand and pulled me back hard.
I was immediately pulled backwards and fell down.
Shuo Bai, who was lying on the bed, opened his arms to greet me.
I fell on him, and Shuo Bai hugged me and held me in his arms.
"Tangning, I don't think we need to go to the hospital."
After saying that, Shuo Bai turned over and pressed me under him.
He lowered his head and captured my lips.
…
When I woke up again, it was already dark.
I'm worried that if we continue like this without restraint, sooner or later one of Shuo Bai and I will end up in bed.
For the sake of my life, I took Shuo Bai out of the hotel on the pretext that I was hungry.
After dinner, I still wanted to visit Liu Xiangxiu. Shuo Bai didn't say anything, so we took a taxi and went to the hospital.
Before coming, I called Liu Xiangxiu's daughter-in-law and asked about the ward where Liu Xiangxiu lived.
Her daughter-in-law started crying again when she heard that I was going to visit Liu Xiangxiu. According to the attending doctor, Liu Xiangxiu was only alive for the past few days. Liu Xiangxiu is now unconscious, but she keeps chanting my name.
Her daughter-in-law thought that Liu Xiangxiu probably refused to leave because she was worried about Liu Yinglong. This is not the solution. Liu Xiangxiu will not be able to hold on any longer sooner or later, and her family does not want her to leave uneasily in the end.
I am willing to visit Liu Xiangxiu, and her family is very grateful. They felt that my words could reassure Liu Xiangxiu and allow her to finally leave with peace of mind.
I bought gifts and arrived at the inpatient department.
A middle-aged couple stood outside the gate of the inpatient department, looking around, waiting for someone.
Shuo Bai reminded me that this middle-aged couple was Liu Xiangxiu’s son and daughter-in-law. He has never seen them, but he is an immortal and can smell the scent of blood on them.
With Shuo Bai's reminder, I walked over and greeted the two people.
"Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Tangning."
The two people were stunned when they saw me.
My daughter-in-law reacted first and gave me a smile, "Hello, Tang Xiangu. You can tell from her voice that Tang Xiangu is not very old, but she didn't expect that she is so young. Lao Liu and I are here to wait for you. You Come with us quickly. Old Liu, help us get the things!"
After being reminded by his wife, Liu Xiangxiu's son came back to his senses and quickly reached out to take the gift from my hand.
I followed the two people to the inpatient department, observing their expressions on the way.
Both of their faces looked very ugly, with bruises under their eyes. They probably hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time. The daughter-in-law's eyes were even swollen, and it looked like she had cried too much.
When we arrived at the door of the ward, my daughter-in-law suddenly grabbed me.
She whispered to me, "Tang Xiangu, I want to ask you for a favor. My mother still doesn't know that something happened to Mr. Liu. Can you help me lie? Just say that Mr. Liu is back and let me Mom can put her mind at ease and walk with peace of mind."
As she spoke, her tears couldn't help rolling down again.
It can be seen that she is a filial daughter-in-law.
I was a little moved and nodded, "Auntie, don't worry, I know what to say."
My daughter-in-law thanked me profusely.
Push open the ward door.
This is a single ward, with a skinny old man lying on the bed.
I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw Liu Xiangxiu's appearance.
His complexion was earthy, his cheeks were sunken, and his skin and hair lacked any luster. The first time I saw it, one word popped into my mind: The oil is exhausted!
She had no equipment connected to her body and no infusions. It was the doctor who thought it was no longer necessary.
Her eyes were half-closed, as if she were dead and couldn't even notice her breathing.
The daughter-in-law walked over, stood beside the hospital bed, leaned over and shouted to Liu Xiangxiu, "Mom, Tang Xiangu is here to see you."
This sentence seemed to turn on a switch, and Liu Xiangxiu's cloudy eyes suddenly became bright.
She even had the strength to turn her head, and immediately turned to look at me, her eyes burning.
I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by a dying person like this, so I said hello bravely, "Xiangu Liu, I'm here to see you."
"Where is the Second Master?" Liu Xiangxiu asked me in a high-pitched and urgent voice, "Where is the Second Master! Don't lie to me, tell me whether you have found the Second Master!"
