Chapter 814 Su Miao Extra Chapter 86
The cemetery for Qin Mo and Su Miao had been bought long ago. It was a good piece of land. What they thought at the time was that they would be buried together after death and still be together in the underworld.
I thought I would slowly grow old and die, but when I really die, it is not that slow, just like a drop of ink disappearing in the water without a trace.
There was no funeral. On the day Qin Mo was buried, Su Miao cut a tuft of white hair and placed it in Qin Mo's palm. She reached out and touched the ring on his ring finger. She was reluctant to let go of his hand, and even more reluctant to close the coffin. Once buried, the only thing left would be a tombstone and a black and white photo.
How could she not feel heartbroken? This was the man who had been with her and loved her until old age, and he just left like that.
Su Miao lay on the coffin and touched Qin Mo's face: "Good night, old man."
Good morning, good afternoon, good night. Spring comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores. One journey in a lifetime is the rest of your life.
Su Miao remembered a sentence that Qin Mo had said that touched her: You were born into this world to experience the beauty of the world.
She and Qin Mo have been together for decades, and Qin Mo really does what he says. With her, they enjoy the warm sunshine and flowers in spring, the cool breeze of mountains and rivers in summer, the abundant fruits in the mountains in autumn, the cold plum blossoms on the snow-capped mountains in winter, the rising sun and the constant moon, the faint smoke from cooking every day, and watching the flowers bloom and fall.
"Master's wife, the time has come."
Someone helped her up. She watched with dry and red eyes as the coffin lid slowly closed and the soil was buried. There were cries all around, but Su Miao, who was the saddest, did not cry. It seemed that all her tears had dried up at the moment Qin Mo died.
However, Su Miao, who is 68 years old, now looks like she is 80 years old. Her hair turned completely white overnight, and even her back was bent. She was so weak that she couldn't even stand steadily, and had to rely on the support of the people next to her to stand.
On this day, many people came, some Su Miao remembered, some Su Miao didn't remember, some known to Su Miao and some not, all of them mourned Qin Mo's death.
Su Miao planted the bougainvillea she brought next to Qin Mo's tombstone, waiting for the spring flowers to bloom next year, waiting for the bougainvillea to sprout, and waiting for this time next year when the bougainvillea blooms in dazzling red, Qin Mo will definitely see it.
Jiang Wen sent Su Miao back home and originally wanted to stay with her, but Su Miao didn't want anyone to disturb her at this time, so she had to digest her sadness by herself.
Knowing that Jiang Wen was worried, Su Miao said, "I'm fine. I will live well. I still have Qiqi. I can't just abandon Qiqi. Thank you for your hard work in the hospital during those few days. Thank you for taking care of Qiqi."
"It's very obedient."
Of course Su Miao knew that Qiqi was very obedient. She was not picky about food, did not run around, and did not destroy things. There was a squat toilet at home, and Qiqi urinated and defecated in the squat toilet. She could also flush the toilet by herself. All she needed to do every day was change the water and feed her dog food.
"Master's wife, I will come to see you tomorrow."
Su Miao is old and has no children around her. They are Qin Mo's students. Calling Su Miao "Master's Wife" means they really treat her as their mother. Even if Qin Mo has not instructed them, they will take good care of Su Miao. But now Su Miao seems to reject human contact. They don't know what to do and can only listen to her obediently. Fortunately, Su Miao seems to be in good health.
"You really don't have to come here every day. You still have your own work to do. Go back, Jiang Wen." Su Miao pushed Jiang Wen's shoulders and watched her get into the car before she turned around and walked home step by step.
Yes, she couldn't leave. If she left, what would happen to Qiqi? She would become a dog without a father or a mother.
When Su Miao returned home and opened the door, the dog was sitting obediently at the door. It was unclear whether it had been sitting there all along or came over because it heard the noise.
The dog stuck out its tongue, and its big golden tail swung left and right on the ground. When Su Miao entered, Qiqi stood up and circled around Su Miao, then raised its head and rubbed it against her hand. As if it sensed Su Miao's unhappiness, it retracted its tongue, and with worry in its eyes, it stood at the door and looked out.
Its mother was unable to bring its father back, and it whimpered and groaned continuously.
Su Miao seemed to know what it was talking about. He squatted down and touched Qiqi's head: "He won't come back."
Su Miao closed the door, and Qiqi called out twice again, as if she was crying.
Su Miao was completely exhausted and struggled all the way back from the cemetery. He had to hold on to the wall to enter the house.
Qiqi didn't follow her and was still sitting at the door. Su Miao then realized that Qiqi had been sitting there waiting, waiting for her and Qin Mo, for five days.
Su Miao went in and took a look at the dog bowl. There was only a little water left, but there was still a lot of dog food. Qiqi hadn't even eaten much in order to wait for its owner.
Su Miao continued walking forward and saw the orange tree outside the balcony. The oranges were ripe and ready to be eaten, but Qin Mo was gone.
The oranges, each as big as a fist, were so heavy that they bent the branches. When the evening light shone in, each orange looked like an orange light.
Su Miao walked over and picked one. The skin was thin and looked sweet. He pinched a petal and put it in his mouth. It was sour and astringent and not tasty at all.
Su Miao had a sore toothache and cried out "Qiqi"
The dog hurried over after hearing the sound. Su Miao fed the orange in his hand to its mouth. It sniffed twice and took a few steps back.
Even dogs won't eat this orange.
Su Miao sat on the sofa by the window. Although she obviously hated sour food, she ate the orange in her hand bite by bite. It was so sour that she drooled and her teeth ached.
Su Miao lowered his head and looked at the orange shell in his hand. He said in a hoarse voice, "Qin Mo, the orange is so sour. It's so sour that my teeth and throat hurt..."
