Moreover, the sensation on my back, different from the cold rain, became exceptionally clear at this moment.
It's blood, lots of blood, it keeps flowing...
It wasn't the blood on the shoulder, but a little lower down, on the chest... on the lungs...
"No way..." He tried to deceive himself: "Tangtang, you're joking, right? I didn't see the gunshot wound. You only have a minor injury, you'll heal quickly..."
The rain was gradually subsiding. Yu Tang, forcing herself to stay awake, touched Mu Nancheng's eyes, felt the warm tears, and sighed softly, "Silly boy..."
"This time, I'm not lying to you..."
Since coming into this world, he has lied to Mu Nancheng many times.
During the period that followed, he impersonated Mr. Y and did such a dangerous thing without informing the teenager.
Even if this situation is fate, Yu Tang still feels that he was wrong.
"I also want to go back to Sanyu Village with you, so we can watch the sunrise and sunset together, grow vegetables together, and raise chickens together..."
"But, it's probably not going to happen in this lifetime..."
"Okay! Of course it's okay!" Mu Nancheng knelt on the ground, overwhelmed, and untied the rope with trembling fingers. When he saw the wound on Yu Tang's chest, he hurriedly covered it and pulled her into his arms: "Tangtang, don't say anything yet, let's wait here for the car to come..."
The car will be here soon. Let's get in and go to the hospital, the best hospital. I guarantee you'll be out of danger by tomorrow night!
Even as he said these words, tears still streamed down his face.
Anyone with even a basic understanding of medicine knows that a gunshot wound to the lung is a race against death.
If not treated in time, death will occur within ten minutes.
"Driver! Go find the car!" Mu Nancheng shouted frantically towards the road, "Find the car! Hurry up and find it!"
"Find it quickly..."
He sobbed as he hugged Yu Tang, his face pressed against the man's cold forehead, repeatedly encouraging the person in his arms: "Tangtang, you'll be alright, you'll get better soon..."
As long as we hold on, we'll be able to go home...
“I’ll take you back to Sanyu Village…we’ll go back right away…”
Seeing Mu Nancheng like this, Yu Tang felt even more distressed.
He reached out and gently stroked the boy's face: "Nancheng, do you still remember what I told you before?"
"We are lovers who have been reincarnated many times, but each time we cannot escape a sad ending..."
"No, Tangtang, don't say anymore!" Mu Nancheng urged him, "You need to save your strength to get to the hospital..."
With her lips pressed against his, Yu Tang smiled at the boy and whispered.
"Be good, listen to me."
Time seemed to be paused. Mu Nancheng was speechless for a moment, tears streaming down his face, but he finally nodded.
"But suffering eventually comes to an end. If one cannot die a good death in one lifetime, then two lifetimes will do. If two lifetimes are not enough, then three lifetimes will do..."
I believe that in some future life, we can create a happy ending together…
"So, this separation is only temporary, understand?"
Although Yu Tang's voice was soft, it had a calming power. Mu Nancheng was stunned, biting his lower lip, choking back sobs several times before finally managing to utter, "I...I understand."
"Tangtang, you have to promise me you'll hold on, and you absolutely mustn't fall asleep..." Mu Nancheng whispered in Yu Tang's ear, "We'll watch today's sunrise together, and we'll watch every sunrise together from now on..."
Yu Tang was in a daze, but she could still hear the reluctance and despair in Mu Nancheng's words.
But this time he really couldn't agree.
And I can't agree to that.
The rain had completely stopped, but liquid was still splashing on Yu Tang's face.
Drop by drop, it burned into his heart.
The atmosphere became silent, oppressively suffocating.
Yu Tang was also nearing the end of his life and was having extreme difficulty breathing.
Mu Nancheng couldn't help but urge the driver again, his voice hoarse and filled with a hysterical urge to destroy everything.
When she turned back to Yu Tang, all that remained was pain and weakness.
He almost pleaded, "Hold on, Tangtang, you absolutely, absolutely can't sleep... Please, you have to hold on..."
"Do you remember the song you sang to the chicks?" Yu Tang couldn't bear to see such a sorrowful scene, so she could only force herself to say, "Please, please sing it for me again... I think that song is very beautiful..."
"How can I be in the mood to sing? Tangtang, you..."
Mu Nancheng was still refuting when he suddenly met the man's increasingly wide pupils.
That's a sign that a person is about to die.
His self-deception finally shattered at this moment, and his teeth were chattering.
He held his finger in front of the man's eyes and waved it, but received no response. Mu Nancheng breathed heavily and, while crying, obediently began to sing: "Okay, I'll sing..."
"Chirp chirp chirp... chirp chirp chirp..."
Having lost his sight, Yu Tang could only vaguely hear the childish song with a sobbing tone, and felt as if his soul was about to be ripped away.
He opened his mouth wide with all his might and managed to make a sound.
"Before, you sang with a smile..."
"So, from now on, you must sing with a smile..."
"No, don't cry..."
"Otherwise, the ghost... the ghost will come and get you..."
With that last sentence, the man finally fell completely silent.
The hand covering the wound could no longer feel the faint rise and fall of the chest; the tactile sensation of flesh and blood became extremely vivid.
Mu Nancheng suddenly stopped crying.
As if a switch had been turned off, he placed Yu Tang on the ground, knelt down, pressed his ear against the man's chest, and stared blankly into his wide eyes, devoid of any light.
He stayed in that position, listening and listening.
The driver finally flagged down a small truck at dawn.
As the sky began to lighten, a half-red sun appeared on the horizon, slowly rising and spreading its light across the earth.
The driver stood at the edge of the road and waved excitedly to Mu Nancheng: "The car's here! We can go back now!"
The word "go back" jolted Mu Nancheng awake.
A light returned to his empty eyes. He picked up Yu Tang, turned towards the driver, and whispered in the ear of the already dead man, "Tang Tang, hold on, the car is here, you'll be saved soon. Once the doctor has healed your wounds, we can go home!"
Maintaining one posture for a long time, coupled with his leg injury, made Mu Nancheng's running posture extremely strange, even somewhat comical.
Because the road was slippery, he fell to the ground, but he still had to hold the person in his arms tightly. People standing on the road came over to help.
But when he saw Yu Tang's pale face and bluish-purple lips, he froze on the spot.
“This person…” the driver couldn’t help but say, “He’s already dead.”
Mu Nancheng froze, staring at the driver with his mouth slightly agape, and asked, "What did you say?"
The driver felt a chill run down his spine under his gaze, and unconsciously took a half step back, pointing at the person in Mu Nancheng's arms, and whispered, "I said, he's already dead..."
Mu Nancheng's eyes widened, and like a sluggish robot, he slowly lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.
I watched it for a long time.
Then, mechanically, he turned his gaze to the rising sun in the distance.
A light orange glow filled those swollen, red peach blossom eyes.
Thud—
The boy seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed heavily to the ground.
He held the person in his arms tightly and murmured to himself.
"Yes, he's already dead."
“My Tangtang, he…”
"As expected, I'm the one who caused their death."
Chapter 50
He died for the villain for the eighth time (50)
After that, Mu Nancheng never cried again.
He calmly took Yutang to the hospital, and after the doctor pronounced Yutan dead, he did not make a scene.
Because it was involved in a serious accident, and firearms were also involved.
After his condition stabilized, he was taken away by the police and interrogated for a long time.
However, because no evidence was found that he intentionally harmed people, and because evidence of Eileen's crimes was found in the pharmaceutical factory, the leaders of D City were greatly shocked and quickly reported it to the higher authorities. After much discussion, Mu Nancheng was only detained for one week before being released.
The day I was released, the sunlight was blinding.
He stood at the entrance of the detention center until the sun began to set and the night sky was dotted with stars, but the person he wanted to see never came.
long time……
The boy lowered his head and murmured to himself, "Oh, right... he's gone."
After returning to the hospital, he took Yu Tang's body from the morgue and watched the man being cremated.
Then, carrying the other person's ashes, he took a car back to Sanyu Village.
He placed Yu Tang's urn in the courtyard where the two of them had lived, and began sweeping the courtyard and house with a broom.
Because no one had lived there for so long, the yard was overgrown with weeds. He would squat down, use a shovel to dig out the roots of the weeds that he couldn't pull out, and then sweep them away, trying his best to keep the yard clean.
Afterwards, he went to the village well to fetch water, filled the large vat in the courtyard, poured out two basins to wash the pots, pans, and chopsticks, and then used a rag to wipe the few pieces of furniture in the house until they looked brand new.
I cleaned from noon until evening without eating a single bite.
