I don't know how long it took, but Chen Yuan coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
Before he could calm down, he felt severe pain in his palm.
Chen Yuan stood up and saw that his hands were wrapped in thick gauze and he was very thirsty.
"Chen Yuan, you wake up!"
A familiar voice came, and Chen Yuan turned around to see Zhou Lan, who had gauze on her head and a cast on her arm, lying on the bed looking at him with red eyes.
"Zhou Lan, are you okay?" Chen Yuan asked eagerly.
"I'm fine. Thank you. Sun Zhe came here just now and told me that you risked your life into the sea of fire and rescued me!"
Zhou Lan cried as she spoke, looked at Chen Yuan and said with a bit of resentment:
"Why are you so stupid? You don't want your life, but you still risk your life in such a big fire to go in and save me!"
"Stop crying, aren't I doing well? We are both alive!" Chen Yuan said with a happy smile.
"Okay, okay, the doctor said that the skin on your hands is burnt and you are severely dehydrated. If the rescue is delayed for a while, you will die!" Zhou Lan said, wiping her tears.
Looking at Chen Yuan, Zhou Lan was deeply moved. In addition to what happened with Xu Shaotian before, he had already risked his life to save him twice!
Just when Chen Yuan was about to speak, the door opened and Zhou You walked in carrying a fruit basket.
"Sister!" Zhou Lan greeted.
Zhou You put the fruit basket away, then smiled at the two of them:
"I'm relieved to see that you guys are fine! Chen Yuan, the story of you being a hero saving a beauty has spread in Huadu, and you are the headline in every news!"
"How are you doing, great hero!"
Chen Yuan heard this and said proudly:
"This is all trivial! After I take a break, I can treat Zhou Lan, and we can be discharged from the hospital later!"
Zhou You nodded, and then his smile gradually disappeared. After looking at Chen Yuan and Zhou Lan, he hesitated and said:
"I have bad news...I have to tell you!"
Chen Yuan and Zhou Lan looked at each other and suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.
I saw Zhou You's eyes were red and he said hesitantly:
"Yang Fan... passed away in the early morning..."
"What!" Zhou Lan and Chen Yuan said in unison.
Zhou You was startled and said: "We didn't wait for you to come back last night, so we called Sun Meng, and she diagnosed it as cerebral hemorrhage!"
Chen Yuan asked with his eyes widened:
"Where's Wang Lung! Didn't Wang Lung go? I sent him a message!"
Zhou You cried and said:
"Sun Meng later called Wang Long, but the phone was also turned off!"
"In the end, we had no choice but to call an ambulance, but before the ambulance arrived at the village, Yang Fan..."
Chen Yuan lowered his head at this moment and did not reply. His mind was filled with Yang Fan's figure.
The scenes of getting along with Yang Fan seemed to be right in front of him. He never thought that with one of his choices, he would miss another life!
The age of the flower season just dropped silently.
"Brother Chen..."
Yang Fan's voice seemed to still echo in his ears, and self-blame and guilt suddenly filled Chen Yuan's heart!
He knew in his heart that if it weren't for him, Yang Fan would never stay in Taojia Village!
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't caused trouble, Yang Fan wouldn't be like this!" Zhou Lan sobbed.
"You two, don't blame yourself. No one could have predicted what would happen. Take good care of yourself. Yang Fan has been picked up by her grandfather and the funeral will be held tomorrow!" Zhou You consoled her.
Time passed in a blink of an eye and it was night.
In Chen Yuan's home, Zhou You, Zhou Lan and others gathered here. In the afternoon, after Chen Yuan's treatment, Zhou Lan and the others were discharged from the hospital without any serious problems.
At this time, Chen Yuan lowered his head and remained silent. Gao Ya had been scolding Chen Yuan for half an hour and was still furious!
Zhou You looked at the angry chest rising and falling violently and advised Gao Ya:
"Gao Ya, don't blame Chen Yuan. He blames himself enough for Yang Fan. After all, he was too busy last night!"
Gao Ya gritted her teeth and roared angrily:
"Yes, the hero saved the beauty! Now Mr. Chen is on the news. I think we should give him a banner to commend his actions and award him the Best Good Citizen Award!"
"enough!"
Zhou Lan stood up and shouted angrily, staring at Gao Ya with burning eyes and said coldly:
"Are you finished yet?"
Listening to the elegant sarcasm, Zhou Lan couldn't control her temper anymore.
Speaking of Potian, Chen Yuan was not wrong in this matter. It was not that he refused to save anyone!
But Gao Ya was always aggressive and made sarcastic remarks. This made Zhou Lan intolerable!
"You still have the nerve to speak. If it weren't for you, how could Yang Fan not have time to save him?" Gao Ya pointed at Zhou Lan and cursed.
"Okay, can you guys just be quiet the fuck down?"
Chen Yuan shouted loudly and startled several people. Then Chen Yuan stood up and looked at Gao Ya with a frown and said:
"I'm sorry that Yang Fan passed away, but people cannot be resurrected. Let's express our condolences and stop arguing here! You all can go!"
"Zhou You, please take Zhou Lan and Xiaoxue to the village committee for a night. I want to be alone!"
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Zhou You nodded in agreement. After Gao Ya glared at Chen Yuan angrily, the women left his house.
Chen Yuan was the only one left in the house. Chen Yuan stared out the window with dull eyes, unable to calm down for a long time.
Lying in bed, Chen Yuan enjoyed the quietness of a person for the first time in a while. When he closed his eyes, Yang Fan's figure always appeared in his mind, and his every smile was so clear.
The next morning came to Tiantongyuan Funeral Home in Huadu.
The sound of mournful music was everywhere, with sad emotions, coloring the hearts of every guest present.
Every guest who arrived lamented the Yang Fan and the withered blue and white flowers in the black and white photo!
There was a coffin placed in the center of the hall, surrounded by flowers and cries.
Behind the crowd, Chen Yuan was wearing a black suit and a white flower on his chest, sitting with Wang Long with a sullen face.
Wang Long patted Chen Yuan and said apologetically:
"Master, I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery last night and I didn't receive your text message, otherwise Yang Fan might still have a chance!"
"Forget it, the matter is over, don't pursue right or wrong!" Chen Yuan said with a bitter smile.
This is Yang Fan's grandfather, Yang Shu, who slowly walked up to Chen Yuan and Chen Yuan with red eyes.
Chen Yuan stood up with complicated eyes and said:
"Mr. Yang, I..."
"Needless to say, Mr. Chen, it's not your fault! You did your best!"
After Yang Shu finished speaking, he took out something from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yuandao:
"I found this while sorting Yang Fan's belongings. When I found it, there was a piece of paper with your name written on it. I guess it's for you!"
Chen Yuan glanced at Yang Shu doubtfully, then stretched out his hand to take the square thing.
It was the size of a shoe box and was wrapped in a piece of cloth. Chen Yuan took apart the cloth and opened the box to see eight gold needles neatly placed inside.
Wang Long recognized him at a glance and said in surprise:
"This is the Eight Needles of Jinling. How could Yang Fan have this!"
