Chapter 142 Blue and White, Hydrangea and Rena
A small memory scene emerges.
The hospital is located on the edge of the town. Outside the window, the mountains are hidden in the darkness, like accumulated black clouds in the night sky. The outline of the town is like a lake, and the lights are the stars reflected in the sky..
Minami Yuki hates this calm night sky. What he longs for is wind and waves. He wants the biting fresh air, the cold wave on his face, and the wind that sweeps across the sky and earth to stir up the clouds in the sky into white fragments and turn them into goose feather-like snow. come down！
However, no matter how determined his will is, he cannot affect the majestic nature.
He closed the curtains and looked at Reina next to him.
The wife was lying on the hospital bed, and the pipeline of the medical instrument that she did not want to get close to finally touched her body. However, her beauty remained. The pain could take away her life, but it would not damage her elegance. That or The cold-colored or transparent pipelines are like the damp and gray vines and thorns in the forest, guarding her sleeping beauty tightly..
During dinner, Reina woke up in a daze for a while, listened to what he said for a while, and then fell asleep again. Her peaceful sleeping face a few days ago was now stained with some sadness. Minami Yuki couldn't wait to use Yoshida Town. The first snow comes to purify the nightmare that intrudes on my wife.
He kissed Reina on the face and walked out of the room.
Next door to the ward is the attending doctor's office. A woman in her fifties, of medium height, sits behind her desk and reads the examination report in her hand..
She told Yuki Minami: "It's only been a few days, half a month at most..”
“……Can't it be longer?？”
“We have all tried our best.”
The doctor sighed softly. She is usually a stern person, but at this moment, she spoke to Yuki Minami in the gentlest tone..
However, no matter how many layers of covering and cushioning cloth are wrapped around the knife, it cannot stop its sharpness. The moment it touches the human heart, the blade will pierce through the layers of cloth and penetrate into the flesh and blood..
The stinging pain in his heart made him in a daze. He might have said something to the doctor. When he came back to his senses, he was already standing on the rooftop..
He looked at the hills to the north, and across the dark shadow of the hills was the lake that Reina wanted to see. The lake was blue because of the color of the minerals, like the clearest sky in summer. Locals and tourists called it The empty pool.
When the first snow falls, the pond will freeze, and the branches of the trees in the pond will be covered with white snow. It is a dreamlike scene. It is a scene that Rena has waited for and missed several times in her short life. It's the regret of her life.
Will she miss it this time too?？
Minami Yuki thought of last year. At this time last year, Rena had already completed the operation and had basically recovered. The girl said she wanted to come over to see the snow. If he had not stopped the girl, the girl would not have to die with regrets..
He tightened his hands on the railing, and the biting wind, wrapped in cold air, hit his face. He pulled up the hood of his coat and put it on, looking at the dark night in front of him..
Everything is black, only the shades of black are different. The sky is lighter, the mountains are darker, the flower beds downstairs are darker, and the open space in front is darker. His eyes are chasing the boundaries of darkness and darkness. , looking for something he doesn’t know yet.
In this hodgepodge of darkness, he suddenly saw a few white spots..
At first he thought it was because he had stared into the night for so long that his brain was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes, relaxed his brain, and looked into the distance..
More and more white falls from the sky.
It's snow.
Snowing.
The snow fell so suddenly that Yuki Minami couldn't believe his eyes. He stretched out his hand, held a few pieces of fine snow, and looked closer..
The white snowflakes were quickly turned into white ice by body temperature, and then turned into transparent water.
More and more snowflakes fell on his palm. He put a small piece of white snow on the tip of his tongue, and a little coldness spread on the tip of his tongue..
Along with the snowflakes, there was also the sadness that imprisoned the joy, and the joy burst out. He quickly ran down the rooftop and ran to the ward on the second floor..
Reina was still sleeping. He gently called his wife's name. She didn't hear his voice and her eyes were closed tightly..
At this moment, Minami Yuki felt regretful. He wanted to watch the snow with his wife, share his joy, and share the hope he felt from the fine snow..
Soon, this regret turned into happiness.
He was glad that he could not wake up his wife and did not let fate's trick on him affect his wife..
Two hours later, the snow stopped.
This short-lived and fine snow cannot cover the dry branches of Kongzhichi, nor can it freeze the water of Kongzhichi..
The next morning, the sun rose, and the small patch of snow left on the grass quickly melted..
By noon, there was no trace of snow anymore.
【You were ecstatic. Having never been to Hokkaido, you thought the first falling snow in the sky was the first snow. You quickly learned your lesson. The snow only fell for a while, but when the sun came out the next day, there was no trace left..】
【You realize how your wife once felt, and the cruel and despicable tricks of fate that she often suffered..】
【Three days after the first snow, the sky was clear.】
【You hang the snow doll by the window, you go to the shrine to pray to the gods, and you seek guidance from tarot cards in the divination room..】
【At the end of November, the temperature drops sharply. If you ask the oldest local resident, he will tell you that the real first snow is about to fall..】
【But my wife can't wait any longer.】
【My wife has not been able to wake up for two days. Her life is like an origami boat floating on the river on a rainy day. The wind and waves will swallow her up at any time. In the dead of night, you can hear her painful breathing..】
【At noon on December 3, my wife passed away..】
【In the early morning of December 4th, it snowed.】
【It snowed all night. By the time you and her two families arrived during the day, the snow had already covered your feet..】
【In the snow, you held a funeral. You had already prepared her coffin and her cemetery. You buried her on the hillside opposite the Kongzhi Pond..】
【Place a bunch of hydrangeas in front of her grave. When you get up, you see the empty pond not far away..】
【Viewed from the hillside, the frozen lake surface is not azure, but greenish green. The snow wraps the dead branches of the trees that died due to the submergence of the lake. Looking from a distance, the trees look like clear crystals, and the snow seems to be floating on the green. of lake.】
【Above the Sora Pond, the sky that looked pale due to snow lay peacefully upside down, and white clouds floated behind the mountains. It was unclear whether it was the snow that had not fallen or the peaks covered by the snow..】
【The blue of the lake and the white of the snow, the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds, the sky and the lake, the clouds and the snow, the green and the white, meet and blend in your field of vision, and you are in a trance. The snow is your wife's skin, and the clouds are her. A faint smile, the sky and lake are covered with light blue hydrangeas in the background.】
【You saw the beautiful figure of your late wife in the first snow of the empty pond..】
