1993.
Qingshan Town.
In the middle of a group of short buildings stands a brand new building.
A pale woman was lying in the room on the second floor. Her fingers moved slightly, and her slender and thick eyelashes trembled slightly. After struggling again and again, she finally opened her eyes.
Lin Lu looked around mechanically, and the scene before her made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar.
At first glance, the decoration style is the simple and natural style popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but the furniture in the room is completely different.
TV, air conditioning, Simmons bed...
A TV series was playing, and the sound of the male and female protagonists arguing came from inside, adding a bit of liveliness to the empty room.
The sunlight slipped into the house through the curtains, leaving a shadow on the ground. The curtains fluttered leisurely in the wind, and the leaves outside the house rustled.
After lying down for so many years, Lin Lu's mind was a little confused when he woke up.
Is this heaven or hell?
The King of Hell’s Palace shouldn’t be this bright.
After thinking for a while, a memory flooded into his dizzy brain.
It seems so distant that it seems like something that happened in a previous life.
Isn't she dead?
Lin Lu struggled to get up and found that except for his hands, which he could move with difficulty, his legs had lost feeling.
In an instant, Lin Lu remembered what happened before he fell into a coma.
The year she graduated from college, she received a place in the school's graduate school, but was pushed down the stairs by her jealous roommate.
Then... she completely lost consciousness
Maybe his legs were broken at that time, Lin Lu thought.
As for why she was lying here, Lin Lu didn't know.
This place was not a ward, nor was it her former home.
Their family is not that wealthy.
Logically speaking, her condition was like that of a living dead person. The doctors didn't know whether she could wake up. Keeping her alive would only waste money and everyone's energy. Letting her go peacefully would be a good thing for the living.
Besides, given her family's financial situation, they probably couldn't afford to let her live in such a nice room.
Could it be that she was being sold? Sold to some human organ tissue?
Thoughts gradually spread around like climbing vines.
"Baka"
There was a sound of twisting from the yellow wooden doorknob.
Lin Lu looked in the direction of the voice and met the eyes of the person at the door.
Searching her memory, Lin Lu realized that this was her biological mother, Comrade Li Xianglian.
Noticing the abnormal behavior of the person on the bed, Li Xianglian stood at the door, staring at the person on the bed without moving.
Then, the sorrowful cries and shouts echoed in every corner of the room like a violent storm.
"My daughter, you finally woke up."
"My son."
She rushed over and hugged Lin Lu tightly.
Perhaps it was the residual memory that was causing the problem, Lin Lu's eyes gradually turned red.
The resentment I felt towards my parents over the years seemed to have faded away with time, and what remained in my heart was more of the shame towards them.
"Lu, you finally woke up. Mom kowtowed to the Buddha every day, and the Buddha finally showed up." Li Xianglian's voice was hoarse, and snot ran out along with tears.
"Mom." Lin Lu's voice was hoarse, and it sounded like the hoarse sound of a rusty iron saw cutting wood. He spoke with great difficulty.
Li Xianglian wiped away the tears that had slid to the corners of her eyes and said, "You little heartless girl, I've been talking to you for seven years, and you haven't said a word back to me." As she spoke, she began to choke up again.
This is the seventh year that Lin Lu has been lying in bed. After her daughter became a vegetable, she didn't know how many tears she had secretly wiped away.
At that time, even the doctors in Kyoto said that whether Lin Lu could wake up depended on his own luck.
But the reality is that no miracle happened at that time, either at home or abroad.
Li Xianglian has lived for most of her life, and this is the first time she has encountered such a situation. She can only place her hope in the Buddha spiritually, follow the doctor's advice scientifically, and take care of her with all her heart.
"How long...have I been lying there?"
Although she could sense that someone was talking to her in the outside world in the past few years, she couldn't hear it clearly at all, as if she had a dream that lasted for seven years.
Li Xianglian would tear up when she was mentioned: "It's been seven years, and I'm already sixty."
Seven years?
Then she should be 29 this year.
Li Xianglian slapped her thigh and said, "I have to go and thank the Bodhisattva." Then she turned around and went to the room where she secretly worshipped the Bodhisattva and burned two incense sticks to express her gratitude.
When I came back and saw Lin Lu slowly moving, my forehead was throbbing. "What do you want to do? Mom will help you."
"It's so uncomfortable lying down, I want to sit up."
Li Xianglian helped her up and placed two pillows behind Lin Lu.
After all, he had been lying in bed for several years, relying on nutrient solution injected through his nose every day to survive, so Lin Lu was pitifully thin.
She asked, “Is my leg broken?”
Li Xianglian: "Pfft, pfft, pfft, what are you talking about? You just lay down for too long. The doctor said you're fine as long as you wake up."
"Mom, thank you." Lin Lu felt a pang of sadness in his heart and said it from the heart.
Because of marriage, she gave up everything and enrolled in Kyoto University, thousands of miles away. She did not go back to visit her parents once in four years.
She didn't know how these two old people, who had never even been to the county town, could go so far away and bring her back.
I don’t know how they have been getting through these years.
When Li Xianglian went to college, she didn't have so many white hairs yet.
People say that there is nothing more important than life and death in this world.
Lin Lu suddenly understood what he meant.
Li Xianglian patted her and said, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm your mother, and it's my duty to take care of you."
"Where's my dad?"
