Chapter 141 Waiting for Snow
【The first time I had such an idea was in September.】
【Your wife is nearing the end of her life. You are thinking hard about what else you can give her and how you can make her feel happy and relieved during this last period of her life..】
【The only things my wife thinks about are the children and the snow in Yoshida Town. The risk of traveling is too great. You want to go to the orphanage, bring girls, and let your wife choose the daughter she likes. At the end of September, she first rejected your temptation. words, and then faced her first danger of death..】
【In early October, she was in good spirits the day before, but that night she began to have fever, pain, short-term heartbeat loss, and temporary respiratory arrest. After a night of resuscitation, she lay weakly on the hospital bed..】
【Her body was severely injured and she slept most of the day. Occasionally she opened her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on a void. No matter what she said next to her, she could not get a response. The doctor said that her consciousness was not clear yet..】
【It was the night after the rescue that my wife started talking in her sleep..】
【She was transferred to the special intensive care ward. There were instruments and nurses monitoring her condition. When you came here in the morning, the nurse told you that she said something at night..】
【The communication machine used to monitor emergencies faithfully recorded the wife's murmurs. The voice was soft, vague, and dry. As soon as she made the voice, the nurse beside her immediately called her in surprise. The nurse did her duty. Her actions brought you trouble, her voice covered up the wife's sleep talk.
【You can't tell what your wife said, but you can tell that her tone is calm. It's not a moan of pain or a rant of resentment and hatred..】
【You enter the ward, hold your wife's hand, ask her the meaning of those words, and tell her how happy you are when she heard those words. Your wife sleeps quietly in the white quilt, without any response, no lips opening and closing, no expression. Change, not even the twitching of eyelashes.】
【You think of the sleeping princess in the fairy tale, and the image of candy apple appears in your mind again. This time it no longer represents beauty and temptation, but the malice and poison of fate..】
【No matter how many times you kiss those cool lips, your wife can never spit out the cursed piece of apple and regain her health and vitality..】
【At night, you stay in the dark ward, sitting next to your wife.】
【In the silent night, there is only the soft sound of the medical equipment running next to you. You lean on the edge of the hospital bed, lower your head, trying to find your wife's voice in this silence. You have not slept well for many days, and your sleepiness is quickly eroding you. Destroys your spirit and makes you tired.】
【When you heard the voice, you thought it was the phantom voice of a dream. You had heard this familiar voice countless times in your dreams. Fortunately, the sound of the operating equipment next to you reminded you in time that this was not a dream..】
【You turn your head and listen to the words coming from your wife's mouth.】
【—— Are you tired? You captured this voice accurately, and your heart trembled suddenly, thinking that your wife had woken up and was caring about you. You looked at her face, and under the thin light of the night light, you saw Her eyes were closed tightly. My wife did not wake up, it was her talking in her sleep..】
【If you look at her lips again, there seems to be a smile at the corner of her mouth..】
【What made his wife say those words and smile like that? what did she dream about？】
【You have a guess.】
【Over the next two days, the wife uttered four more utterances, three of which you heard and one that was picked up on the tape. All four were snippets of extremely ordinary conversation: It will fall; sugar-coating is good It’s hard; I won’t do it again; it’s so solemn..】
【Every sentence is very soft, with a touch of coquettishness.] [Including the previous sentence, there are five complete sentences in total. You cross-checked and understood the meaning of all the words, the scene in which they were spoken, and the girl. Talking dreams.】
【“"Are you tired?" was when you were climbing Xiaodou Mountain. Before marriage, when you carried your wife to the top of the mountain, your wife often asked you this sentence; "You will fall" was when you were on the swing in the park. You always made trouble and made the swing sway. Akira, let your wife hug your body tightly; "The icing is so hard" means that at the festival in the town, my wife likes to eat sweet and sour apple candies. The icing on the apple candies is hard, and it takes a lot of effort for her to Bite it open; "I won't come again" is when my wife bid farewell to the inpatient building happily when she was discharged from the hospital; "It's so solemn" is when I get married, and the wedding ceremony at Minamoto Yoshihime Shrine is particularly solemn..】
【From these words, you guessed the first word of the first fuzzy recording - purple. My wife was talking about hydrangea..】
【Six voices, six phrases, six important memories between you and her. Do you think that in the long dream, your sleeping wife has returned to your past and the beauty of the past?？】
【This discovery gives you relief and makes you happy. It turns out that her sleep is not wrapped in endless darkness, but colorfully illuminated by the gorgeous bubbles of dreams..】
【On the third day, she uttered her last murmur, - the snow is so beautiful.】
【You shudder suddenly, what kind of snow is your wife talking about? Is it the snow on the bushes that she licks greedily, or is it the snow in Yoshida Town that she has longed for and missed since she was a child?？】
【In late October, my wife's condition got better. She was awake, even though it was only for a few dozen minutes a day. Even though every word, every movement, and every look in her eyes cost her a lot of energy and made her tired..】
【The doctor tells you that this is about the flash before the fire of life goes out..】
【Your wife's last words echo in your mind, making you restless and forcing you to make up your mind..】
【You invite your wife to go see the snow in Yoshida Town. Your wife responds softly and smiles..】
【For a wife whose life is only half-remembered, any external stimulation is a place for the god of death to hide. If you are not careful, the sickle of the god of death will pierce her chest. You hired the doctor from Chigusa University Hospital to do your best for your wife. preparation for the journey.】
【You first took a medically modified plane to Hokkaido, then took a similarly modified bus to a small town on the edge of Yoshida Town, and were admitted to the hospital you bought..】
【The god of death ambushing during the journey failed to touch your beloved wife, but the omnipresent reptile of time keeps eating at your wife's body. You pray that the first snow of this year will come as soon as possible..】
【In early November, the sun was shining brightly, the dry wind blew through the mountains, and the mountains and forests were lush and green..】
【In mid-November, it rained. The rain drenched the mountains, making the mountains and forests more lush. After the rain, the fire wheels in the sky became brighter..】
【The time for my wife to wake up is getting less and less, her consciousness is getting blurry, and the eyes that she occasionally opens seem to be covered with a layer of gray fog..】
【On the fourth Saturday of November, it finally started to snow.】
