Chapter 47 fourth quarter

Yuuki stared intently at the flowing river.Once she felt that someone was paying attention to her, she immediately stood up and walked away as if fleeing.When you get tired from walking, find another place to sit down.Maybe people thought she was exercising, although she passed by many people, no one gave her a suspicious look. Unknowingly, the sun has sunk to the west, and the flow of the river is no longer visible.When walking on the embankment, the street lamps on both banks, the street lamps on the bridge, and the lights of the trams and cars passing the bridge were reflected in the river water, swaying, which could make Yuxi feel the existence of the river.However, Yuuki has no idea where she is now.After running out of the general hospital in front of the station, I walked aimlessly and came across this river, and then I kept walking along this river. Go over and continue walking along the river.I went to public toilets several times on the way. When it was dark, I felt no need to go, but I didn't feel hungry at all.At first I wanted to find Congzhi, but I didn't know where he was, let alone what he said after meeting, I felt terrible when I thought about it.I can't do anything anymore, I can't do anything for Congzhi...

"Satoshi... Satoshi..." Yuuki covered his face with his hands and yelled over and over again.At some point, Yuki lost even the strength to walk, and listened to the sound of running water, and lay down in the grass. The sky was infinitely wide, and those shining points of light seemed to have opened many small holes in the dark blue curtain.Suddenly, a point of light radiated an astonishing light.Seeing this astonishing light, Yuki thought, what would it be like if the sky was lifted?Behind the sky, there must be the sparkling sea near Shuanghai Children's Hospital and the dense green Myojin Mountain.

In the autumn of that year, in the forest of Mt. Myojin after the storm, three people embraced the huge Nanmu tree, and the bond of friendship was tightly bound together.That day, the three of them swore that they would live no matter what... Yuki wants to go back to that time!However, the sky is too far away, and she is absolutely out of reach. The wind picked up, and it blew bigger and bigger, the black clouds rolled in, and the bright spots of light disappeared.Suddenly, a black cloud separated from one end of the huge cloud and descended rapidly.Down and down, the black cloud turned into a black horse.The black horse pierced through the dark blue sky and rushed towards Yuuki.The black horse stared at its bloodshot eyes, bared its dirty teeth, yellow saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth, and the veins on its temples were bulging. It raised its four thick hooves and stepped towards Yuxi.Yuki, who was lying on the grass, saw a black, tumor-like bulging mass between the black horse's hind legs.

Yuki screamed in fright, but only her heart could hear the scream.Excessive terror made Yuuki grab hold of the left breast with her hand, tore it off her body together with the heart, holding it with both hands and offering it to the black horse, forgive me!A man was riding on the horse, pulling the black horse's mane as hard as steel wire.The black horse changed direction just before it stepped onto Yuuki, and the man on the horse stretched out his hand and took away the breast and heart that Yuuki was holding.The black horse seemed to be chasing after the distant cloud, and flew to the sky again.

At this time, Yuki's heart turned into a baby, and the small face looked exactly like Yuki.The man on the horse has beautiful long hair.When she turned around, Yuki saw clearly that it was the young Shiho!Mom... wanted to scream, but couldn't breathe.Yuuki sat up feeling uncomfortable. The surroundings lit up, and the flowing water in front of me could be seen clearly. The fine ripples of the river reflected the sunlight. There were no dark horses or clouds in the sky. The sky was clear and blue. Of course, her breasts and heart are also intact.However, she felt as if something of invaluable value had been lost, and it would never come back.The sense of emptiness and terror is stronger than yesterday.There was a barking dog nearby, Yuuki hurriedly stood up and trotted away.After running forward for a while, I saw a baseball field and heard people's laughter. Yuki felt that people were laughing at her.

Yuuki walked from the green area to the bicycle lane on the embankment, and the bell of the bicycle rang behind her.Yuuki nearly fell while dodging, the bicycle whizzing past her.She really wants to cry, like a lost child who doesn't know where to go or how to go, where is the person waiting for her, where is the person who is willing to protect her... and is there anyone waiting for her, is there anyone willing To protect her, she doesn't even know. Hiding in the shade of the azaleas, Yuki reached into the pocket of his tracksuit as if looking for something to protect him.Her hand touched a card, ah, it was the calling card given to her by the middle-aged nurse. The picture on the calling card was a doctor and a nurse standing in front of the hospital.The moment Yuki saw this pattern, she remembered Shuangkai Children's Hospital.

"If you don't come back, points will be deducted..." Yuki thinks she should call Shuanghai Children's Hospital.She looked around and stepped forward.At the corner where the bicycle lane leads to the road, I saw a public phone booth.Yuuki walked in, took off the receiver, and even though she couldn't remember the phone number of Shuanghai Children's Hospital, she dialed it as if she was familiar with it. "Hello! Geriatric ward." Ok?Why did you call directly to the ward?But the name of the subject is wrong. "Hello! Who are you?" The other party spoke again.

Why is the voice so familiar?Ah, I remembered, it was the head nurse of the eighth ward, who seemed to be called Uchida... "Hey..." Yuuki finally spoke. "Ah! Is it Hisaka?" The other party asked loudly in surprise. "it's me." "Where are you now? Are you all right?" "……Sorry." "What's the matter with you? Why did you run out when you were on duty? Come back to me! Everyone is so worried, they are looking for you everywhere! I know you have been hit hard mentally, but you have to deal with your mother What happened to her! Poor mother, she is waiting for you!"

"Mother? . . . waiting for me? . . . where?" "Still asking where... tell me where you are!" Yuuki looked around: "I don't know." "Can't you speak clearly? Can't you even speak clearly?" Yuuki didn't understand what Ms. Uchida meant. "Is there any inconvenience for you to talk there?" "I don't know. I want to go back to the hospital, but I don't know what to do." Yuuki said. "The son of Mariko Nagase, who suffers from dementia, is your friend? He came to the hospital yesterday and said that if you contact the hospital, let us pass it on to you. Please call him. Is that person a lawyer? How about discussing it with him?"

How did it happen?Why did the other party suddenly talk about this? "Nagase?..." "Yes, Nagase Shengichiro, your brother works in his office." Ah... there is a man named Sheng Ichiro.But, why call him Nagase?His surname is not Nagase, but Katsuta. "Hello! Jiusaka! Assistant Head Nurse Jiusaka!" the other party called eagerly. Yuuki pressed the hook of the handset with her finger, and the call was cut off.She reinserted the calling card that had come out of the phone.Sheng Ichiro?does he have a phoneYuuki dialed a random number despite expressing doubts about Shoichiro's phone number.While waiting for the other party to answer the phone, Yuuki closed her eyes.

"Hello!" A familiar voice rang on the phone. Yuki didn't speak. "Hello! Hello! Hello! . . . Who are you?" Yuuki still didn't speak. The other party was silent for a while, as if he understood something: "Yuki?" The closed eyelids split a thin slit, and the light squeezed into the darkness behind the lids. "I see, you are Yuki!" The radiance radiated, drove away the darkness, and what Yuki saw was the boundless sea.Yuki smelled the fragrance of sea water, and the mountain wind blowing down from Mt. Myojin dried the sweat on her body. "Hedgehog?" Yuuki finally spoke. The other party held his breath and replied, "Ah... I'm a hedgehog." "Hedgehog, where are you?" There was no one on the beach, the endless sandy beach, the calm sea, and the rolling mountains behind.There was no one, only thick leaves swaying in the wind. "I'm in the office. And you? Where are you? What's that place?" "It seems to be near the hospital, I can't tell." "What hospital?" "Shuanghai Children's Hospital. What are you talking about!" Unable to hear the other party's voice for a while, Yuuki felt uneasy, "Hedgehog?" "Hey... I'm here." "Where's the giraffe?" "That kid isn't here...we're all waiting for you, looking for you!" "I can't see you! I can't see you! I can't see a hedgehog anywhere, and I can't see a giraffe..." Yuki looked back at the mountain, and then at the sea, but still couldn't see anyone.Is the sun covered by clouds?The sea also loses its color, and the mountains sink into grayness.Yuuki felt scared, "Hedgehog...I'm afraid..." "Understood. It doesn't matter! I will help you! You know, we will help you!" Hedgehog's powerful voice. Yuuki was encouraged: "...I know, you two will definitely come." "Where is that place, tell me again." "Didn't I tell you? It's near Shuanghai Children's Hospital. I don't know the exact location." "Okay, listen to me, take a few deep breaths, if you close your eyes, open them, and look at the things in front of you." Although Yuuki felt a little scared, she did as the hedgehog said.Take a deep breath first, then open your eyes. "See what?" the hedgehog asked her. "Phone." Yuuki said honestly. "what colour?" "Green." "Okay, raise your head slowly, you can definitely see the address and phone number, read it to me." Yuuki looked up and saw the address and phone number.The address is written in Chinese characters, it doesn't matter, they are all Chinese characters learned in school.However, Yuki's way of thinking is a bit strange: "U of the universe, Na of Nara, the root of the root of the tree." "What about the area code?" "No, it just says intersection." "Okay, Unagan Crossing. Where's the phone number?" Yuuki read it again. "Understood. I'll go right away! Wait there and don't move!" "Are the giraffes coming too?" "No... I'll go alone first." "Is the giraffe mad at me?" "No, not angry, he's worried about you too. Stay there and I'll keep calling you. When the phone rings, be sure to answer it. Remember?" Yuki replied that she remembered it. At this time, someone knocked on the door behind her, and Yuki was startled. Looking back, she saw a woman wearing glasses with a serious expression, knocking on the door of the telephone booth.Yuxi involuntarily raised his left hand, bit his forearm fiercely, hung up the phone with a snap, opened the door, walked out of the phone booth, and ran towards the river. "Wait! Your calling card!" The woman's voice came from behind. Yuuki bit her forearm, crossed the bicycle lane without looking back, and ran towards the depths of the dense grass.Running and running, the muscles in the jaw lost their strength, and finally let go of the mouth that was biting the forearm.Because the fabric of the sportswear is thick and strong, the forearm was not bitten to bleed.Yuuki put her hands on her knees and sat down in the grass. There are a few light pink flowers in front of me, which are carnations, a symbol of a Japanese woman who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside.There are so few carnation flowers blooming in a piece of dark green, pitiful and lovely.Yuuki was attracted by these few flowers, and she lay down with her face against them. The sky is the same as the carnation flower, and it is also light pink. Isn't this the sky I have seen in the forest of Myojin Mountain?In the Myojin Mountain Forest, there is no doubt or blame, only care and comfort, consideration and tolerance. "Hedgehog...giraffe..." Yuuki called softly. "Yuki, is it alright?" In the silence, someone asked with concern. "I'm so tired." Yuuki told her distress. "Ah, yes, you are too tired." Hearing those words full of emotion, Yuki's eyes filled with tears. "I... don't want to live anymore... I don't want to live anymore, nothing good happens." An urge to act like a baby arises spontaneously. "Well, that's right." It's neither negation nor encouragement, but a sincere acceptance and understanding, "But, haven't you persevered? You have suffered so much. It's amazing, Yuuki... You are really amazing!" Hearing this, Yuuki felt his body floated up, and drifted towards the infinite universe. "Hedgehog? Giraffe?" "I'm a hedgehog." Someone whispered in her ear. Yuuki felt someone rocking her gently, so she said, "I want to sleep, is that okay?" "Ah, go to sleep." Yuuki floated out of the forest of Mt. Myogami, and floated towards the sea: "...Hedgehog!" "What's wrong?" "I like you." "...Stop teasing me." Yuuki smiled.The sound of the sea tide rang in my ears.
