Chapter 122 When you wake up, I'll take you to see the flowers bloom
Ke agreed and walked out. After a while, he came back and told me that the doctor should not go, but the First Theater was not far from the hospital. If he wanted to go, he would have to take a wheelchair and be supervised by the medical staff.
"Long live! The boss can attend the premiere!" After hearing the news, Stenberg jumped up.
When others started to stop me from attending the premiere, it was purely for my health. How could they not want me to attend? For them, if I am missing, even if the premiere goes well, they always feel that something is missing.
"Let's do it, everyone is separated and they are going to work on their own. It's two o'clock, and the premiere will begin in six hours. We will let the boss rest, eat something, and keep the spirit and body healthy." Griffith's proposal was agreed by everyone. Except for his mother, Jack, Heidi, Jimmy, etc., stayed, everyone else said goodbye to me one by one and made the final preparations for the premiere.
As soon as they left, the room suddenly became quiet.
"Mom, I want to see Lenny!" I whispered to my mother.
"I'll take you there." Heidi smiled at me and pushed a wheelchair over.
Jack helped me into a wheelchair, and Heidi and his mother pushed me out of the ward door.
Lenny's ward is next door and will arrive in a while.
When I opened the door, the room was covered with white. There was a bed beside the window. The sunlight shone down from the window and tiny spots appeared on the sheets. They were dancing on the bed, as if they were dancing notes.
Lenny lay calmly on the bed, his face a little pale and his eyes slightly closed, as if he was sleeping soundly.
"Can I stay alone with Lenny for a while?" I whispered to my mother behind me, Heidi.
"We're outside, call us if you have anything to do." Heidi walked out with her mother's arm and brought the door.
I turned my wheelchair and got closer to the bed bit by bit. The closer I was to that bed and the closer I was to Lenny, the more my heart was filled with great happiness and sweetness.
I can't forget the figure who blocked the gun for me, I can't forget that she trembled when she heard the gunshots. She was so gentle that she could actually put the guns of a mafia more than two meters high on her body.
I can't forget the look she looked at me after she was shot. There was no impurity at all, only joy. I blocked the shot for me and saw my intact joy.
I can't forget the stinging pain in my heart after she was shot! At that time, I was afraid that this girl would disappear forever from me, what should I do? At that time, I realized that without her, everything I did seemed to have no meaning, because without her, my heart would be empty. No matter what, I couldn't fill it!
When she was by my side, when she smiled at me. When Heidi scolded me for smoothing out the situation for me, I didn’t think what would happen if I lost her. But at the moment when she was shot, I realized that I loved her so much!
Love her smile! Love her expression when she blinks! Love her complacent after she favors me! Love her look at me!
It turns out that many things, things that are not very important in normal times, only when you experience the moment of separation from life and death, you will understand that they are precious like never before.
The sun was moving slowly in the sky. The light moved little by little, and I sat beside Leni's bed. I watched a hunch of light shine on her face, with a sallow face, with no blood at all, but as crystal clear as glass.
Her breathing was very light, like a calm tide. When I sat in front of her, I could feel the breath she exhaled plunging on my face, mixed with a faint fragrance.
I held her hand and looked out the window. There were people coming and going on the street outside. The world was so big, but it had nothing to do with me. At this time, I sat on a high building and held her hand, as if I was holding a whole world.
"Leni, when you wake up, I will take you to the Burbank Farm and take you to see a river, a river full of flowers on both sides of the bank under the moonlight, fish dancing on the river surface, and a large number of water birds. I will take you to row, and we are the two of us, and when we are tired, we will lie on the boat and let it flow with the water. Wherever it stops, we will build a house, preferably in the fields and forests, where we can see deer and fireflies. When I get old, I will take you there, I will go hunting during the day, and at night we will look at the stars in the clearings outside.
"Sometimes I think, when I have time, when I am free, as you said, open a small shop, open the door at noon, close the door at sunset, and I buy goods, and you collect money at the counter. Just live like this, maybe your life will pass like this. It's also good.
"When I was hospitalized, I would hear the wind in the woods outside at night. It was midnight. Everyone was asleep, and I was alone awake. I heard the flowers blooming little by little on the branches, and heard a bird falling on a tree outside the window. It croaked and then flew away. At that time, my heart was so empty, as if there was no one in the wilderness, only the wind was running on it, and there was great danger hidden in the large grass. At that time, I was so heartful.
Panic, I was thinking, if I died in the hospital, in the middle of that night, there was not even a person who could talk, they could only find my body during the day and bury me in the cold soil. It was also the same at that time, I suddenly remembered your smile, and the way you stood in the distance, waving at me, wearing a long skirt, running towards me like a bird in the traffic, I felt that I could gradually calm down and then fall asleep.
"Leni, when I was in a coma, I had many dreams. I don't know if you had ever had the same dream. I was so confused in my dreams. Every time when I was about to give up, you appeared next to me, you guided the light to me, you smiled at me, and then the whole world suddenly became clear. In this world, if you don't wake up, to me, it's just a huge empty shell. Without you, I will only slowly decay, slowly lose consciousness, slowly aging, and then the dust returns to the dust and the soil returns to the soil.
"My hometown, a small town in northern China, will have a wet monsoon every July. The monsoon blows from the ocean, with a slight fishy earthy smell. It makes many flowers bloom overnight, and those flowers will make a crisp sound when they bloom. At that time, I was wondering, at the other end of the ocean, where this monsoon occurs, is there someone who can't sleep at night, who can hear such a sound? Tell me, when you were a child, when you couldn't sleep at night, you would walk in the garden downstairs, walking while waiting for the flowers to bloom. When you said this, I suddenly felt shocked in my heart. I remembered the things in my childhood and realized that we were like a
The apples on the tree of heaven are divided into two by God, and then cross time, here, in this age, to find each other's other half.
"Leni, the first day I came here, the first day I woke up, and walked out to see a different world, and I was so scared. I was wondering if I would get lost here, and then like a drop of water poured into the sea, and I could never find it anymore. I was looking for ways to not let it dry up, and how to prove its existence. When I made movies, I set up a film company, and when I succeeded step by step, there was always a huge question mark in my heart: I am still me, can I still live happily and carelessly as usual? At the moment when you blocked the gun for me, at the moment when the gunfire sounded, the whole world stopped. Only at that time did I understand that before that, I had always lived a very happy life, because you were by my side and your smile was by my side. And once you were not here, I was empty all of a sudden.
"Leni, today is the day when my third movie premieres. The first movie I've been in, I hope you can open your eyes and look at me when I come back, smile at me, and then I will take you to see the flowers blooming, take you to the end of the world, and tell you how much I love you."
Holding Lenny's hand, I murmured to myself, as if I was possessed by the devil. The wind blew outside, making the window whirring loudly, as if Lenny had heard my words and responded.
"Boss, Mr. Marskolov is here." Jack knocked outside.
I wiped my tears and shouted Jack to invite Marskolov in.
Maybe it was news that Lenny was injured, maybe it was because the movie made him work hard. Marskolov in front of him had gray hair and haggard face, which was completely different from the old horse I remembered who was very energetic and decisive in everything.
"Andre, I'm so happy that you're awake." Marskolov walked over and bent down to hug me tightly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't protect Lenny." I whispered in his ear.
The muscles on Marskolov's face twitched. He sat on the sofa next to him, looked at Lenny on the hospital bed lovingly, and said to me: "Andre, I received the news that Lenny was shot. I was prosecuting and filming on the set. Do you know, when I heard that news, I fell from a rail car more than two meters high! I have only one daughter, and people say that I have two treasures, one is MGM and the other is Lenny, but they don't know. In my heart, all MGM's assets are not as good as Lenny's finger together! When I rushed to the hospital, I put my hand in my pocket. Do you know what is in my pocket? A gun! I only have that gun.
I used it three times. But every time I used the land, I killed a person. At that time, I thought. If something happened to Lenny, I would shoot you! But when I got to the room, I saw you still shouting Lenny's name in a coma, and seeing the satisfied smile on Lenny's face, I suddenly collapsed on the spot! Andre, you made me understand something I have been neglecting over the years. For decades, I have devoted most of my energy to the film company and career, and for this family. I owe too much to Lenny. When I looked at Lenny, I felt quite ridiculous. I worked hard all my life, but ignored the most precious things."
"So, to some extent, I have to thank you." Marskolov looked at me with his eyes burning.
"Fortunately, you have nothing to do, this is a blessing in disgrace. Haha, God bless you, and you don't want to see an old man like me, who has lived alone in his old age. I won't say it anymore, I'm here today, just because I heard that you are awake and want to come and see you and Lenny."
Marskolov stood up and walked to Lenny, and carefully kissed Lenny on his forehead.
"Your movie premiered today, right?" Marskolov asked in a low voice.
"Um."
"Did you participate?"
"I told the doctor that they said they could participate. Are you going?" I looked at Marskolov's slightly hunched back and whispered.
Marskolov made Leni's quilt and turned around and said to me, "Go, haha, how could I be missing the old man in such an occasion?"
"Is the movie going well?" I poured a cup of coffee and handed it to him.
Marskolov took it, sat on the sofa, took a sip, and shook his head: "It's not going well. The investment has been added from 400 to 6 million:_From Griffith's "Party and Fighting the Dissent" back then, the investment was extremely high, but he finally lost a lot of money. However, he has invested so much money and it's impossible to give up, so he has to hold on to it. Andre, I envy you now. It's good to be young, and you have the energy and time to do what you want to do. Unlike me, although there are many things I want to do, there is no time left. Even if I do it, I can't stand failure. Young people have nothing to fail a few times. At worst, they can get up. But an old man like me, if he fails once, he may never get up again."
Marskolov's tone suddenly became unprecedentedly decadent, as if he had seen through everything in the world.
Time is the best gift a person receives, and it allows you to see the road beneath your feet bit by bit.
Like me, Marskolov is a passerby in the journey of time. The difference is that we, one has just gotten on the bus and the other is close to the end.
"I won't tell you anymore. I should go back to the company and prepare. See you in the evening." Marskolov looked at his watch, smiled at me, stood up and kissed Lenny, and then said goodbye to me.
After Marskolov left, I asked the doctor to change me to a large ward, and then transferred Lenny to the ward, and I wanted to stay with her and watch her until she woke up.
I looked at Lenny for the whole afternoon, and everyone was stopped by me.
It was getting darker and it was not until Jack was outside asking me to have supper that I went out in a wheelchair.
I had very little supper. After that, Jack changed my costume for me, and then when it was almost seven o'clock, everyone pushed me down the First Theater.
When I left, I went to see Lenny. She slept very quietly, like a child.
It only takes a few streets from the Central Hospital to the First Theater. It only takes a few minutes to walk, but for my health reasons, everyone decided to let me take a bus.
I was stunned when I sat in the back row and the car slowly drove out of the central hospital gate.
Chapter completed!
