Although there are factors of government control, this ending is a bit too sad.
Lu Mingfei and the others still remember that Chu Tianjiao said that Sasha had a younger sister, a girl who had a bad life, and Sasha's mother, a woman who was hospitalized for Alzheimer's disease and needed expensive surgery.
This man's life is hard enough. No one has cured his unfortunate childhood, but he has always supported his already fragmented family. In the end, there is no happy ending... Sasha is by no means a good person in the worldly sense, even in this world.
His behavior of assisting Vincent on the "Yamal" is tantamount to aiding the evil, but who has the right to ask him to be a good person? Life has never been kind to this man.
The time he spent as a sailor on the "Yamal" was probably one of the few times in this man's relaxed and comfortable life... But he can never go back, that ship is no longer there, and those things that Sasha was most familiar with are...
Comrades who have always fought side by side
They are almost dead. Those beautiful Russian girls, those feasting lights and shadows, the magnificent and shocking polar scenery, and the high-spirited sailors’ barcarolle are like a long and dreamy banquet that will last forever.
Will do it again.
"I sat down next to Sasha's bed. There was a chair with a thin layer of dust on it." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was late at night, the hospital was very quiet, and Sasha made arrangements independently.
Almost no one passed by the ward and outside the corridor. There was only the sound of dripping slowly falling in the room. I sat there for a long, long time."
"The moonlight in Moscow shines in through the white curtains, and falls on Sasha's face. It is a light white color, and the picture is very peaceful." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "Although Sasha's face is wrapped in gauze, I can't see clearly.
His expression, but I felt that he was so peaceful at that time, as if he was asleep
It was a very long sleep, and he could finally bid farewell to the memories of pain and suffering in his life. He could look for the comrades he had spent a long time with, and the cunning, insidious and ruthless captain. Maybe he was in his dream.
You can also meet a beautiful Russian girl who you love."
There was a look of nostalgia on Chu Tianjiao's face. When he recalled the man named Sasha, he lit a cigarette silently, his eyes blurred in the smoke, and everyone in the room just listened quietly...
...This time, even the meanest Fingel didn't interrupt him at an inappropriate time. No one with any brains would make fun of a man's sadness, not to mention that this sadness comes from the friendship between men.
"I don't know how long I sat in Sasha's ward, maybe three hours, maybe four hours. I just remember that it was almost dawn when I left, and I sat quietly without saying a word.
." Chu Tianjiao said, "Actually, I have a lot to say to Sasha.
Said, but seeing his look like this, I suddenly didn’t want to speak, because I knew it was pointless. Even if I said something, it was already too late, and Sasha couldn’t hear it. All I wanted to do was to accompany him.
Stay with him, even if it's just a few hours."
Perhaps many times, a man's parting begins silently.
"Did you leave after dawn?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Well, I left at dawn. When I walked into the elevator from the corridor, I happened to meet two nurses on duty. When they passed by me, I heard them say that the guy in the ward in front of me also
It's so pitiful, I've never seen anyone staying there for so long
In our hospital, no relatives have ever come to visit this guy." Chu Tianjiao said, "The government only submitted his treatment and two years of hospitalization expenses to the hospital. Once this time exceeds, the guy hasn't woken up yet, he
I’ll probably have to go to the morgue from now on.”
"Why is this so?" Shutoku Aki's tone was a little aggrieved for Sasha.
"I didn't say much. I just paid Sasha's future hospitalization fees when I left the hospital. The nurse on duty at that time handed me a form to fill out. I filled in the date of hospitalization for a hundred years.
Chu Tianjiao said, "The nurse on duty was obviously frightened when she received the form. After a brief fright, she asked me with a serious expression if I was joking. I didn't say anything more. I just handed her a card and told her
The amount of hospitalization expenses required for one hundred years can be debited from this card."
"The balance of the card once again surprised the nurse on duty. This time she calmly swiped away the 100-year hospitalization expenses, and then respectfully returned the card to me. When I left, I used the remaining balance.
I caught a glimpse of her dialing
Phone number." Chu Tianjiao said, "Because Sasha is the person assigned to the hospital by the government and is related to the 'Arctic Ghost Incident'. Maybe the government personnel have specifically told the hospital that if anyone comes to visit Sasha, report to them immediately.
.”
"But none of this has anything to do with me, because I don't plan to appear in Sasha's life again, and the government people can't find me." Chu Tianjiao said, "My client helped me investigate the hospital address of Sasha's mother.
And his sister’s address.”
"It was a private mental hospital. There was a woman with a haggard face, a mess of hair, and sunken eye sockets. She was Sasha's mother. I just glanced at her from a distance and didn't talk to her." Chu
Tianjiao said, "I also found the nurse on duty and asked how long the woman's hospitalization expenses were left, and the answer I got was one year."
"The nurse on duty said that every year, a man with a beard and scars on his face would come to visit the woman. When he came, he would bring a large bag of macadamia nuts that the woman liked. He would stay for half a day each time and talk to the woman about some interesting things.
The unrealistic jokes made her very happy.
"Chu Tianjiao said, "When the man leaves, he will hand over the woman's hospitalization expenses for a whole year at the front desk. The hospitalization expenses in a sustenance-type mental hospital are actually quite expensive. In addition, the labor costs in private hospitals are very high. For ordinary people,
That’s definitely a pretty big expense.”
"Sasha is a responsible man." Chu Zihang said softly.
But that man will never come again, and maybe the woman who is already demented doesn’t know why the kind man who comes to visit her every year, brings her delicious macadamia nuts and tells her jokes, suddenly one day
It never comes again... Or maybe the woman doesn't care about these things at all, because the hospital said that her condition has become more and more serious over the years, and many times she can't distinguish between dreams and reality.
"I also paid for that woman's hospitalization fee for a hundred years. The nurse on duty was also frightened, but unlike the nurse on duty when Sasha was hospitalized, this girl told me that even if the woman's condition no longer worsened, she would not
I have to live for more than twenty years." Chu Tianjiao said, "I still gave the money to the nurse. I said that if this woman unfortunately dies one day,
Please use some of the extra money to hold her funeral. The tombstone will be written 'Sasha Rybalko's mother'. Before leaving, I went to a nearby store and bought a large bag of macadamia nuts for the nurse.
Tell the woman that this was brought to her by the man who used to come every year, but he was very busy today, so he took one look at her and left in a hurry."
Jiude Aki subconsciously wanted to ask Chu Tianjiao why he didn't let the nurse bring a pack of macadamia nuts for women every year, but Ye Sheng patted his shoulder to stop him. Looking at Ye Sheng's expression, Jiude Aki understood Chu Tianjiao.
meaning.
The important thing is not the macadamia nuts, the important thing is that Sasha and the woman are mother and son. Even if the woman can receive macadamia nuts every year, the man will not appear again in the future. For patients with Alzheimer's disease, maybe next year she
She would forget about it, but if she only had macadamia nuts every year, she would suddenly think of how lonely she would be with a man.
"After that, I also went to find Sasha's sister. In the eastern suburbs of Moscow, her sister lived in an old apartment building." Chu Tianjiao said, "In a small town, that girl was in
She works in the only pub in town, which is two streets away from the apartment. When I went there, I saw her sitting in a booth next to the bar with a local hookah in her mouth."
"That girl had a fairly pretty appearance and quite a tall figure, but her makeup was a bit too heavy. I ordered a glass of wine at the bar next to her and observed her for a while. The girl sat there quietly the whole time.
She didn’t know what she was thinking, but her reaction to the man who approached her was very dull. She seemed to have already
It's commonplace." Chu Tianjiao said, "This girl who looks a little world-weary, even if she knows about her brother, she shouldn't be too sad, I thought to myself, but I heard a good news from the bartender, this
The girl no longer works as a dancer and appears to be visiting the town's detox center regularly."
"I only stayed there for half an hour and then left. Sasha couldn't change the lives of his relatives, and I had no reason to interfere in that girl's life." Chu Tianjiao said, "So I didn't leave anything for her.
, just bought a financial security fund for her, every month
A sum of money would be transferred into her account anonymously. She could not investigate the source of the money. The amount of money was not large. It would not be enough to maintain her previous bad habits, but even if she left the tavern, the amount of money would still be there.
The money is definitely enough to maintain her normal living expenses."
"Before leaving that city, I went to the last place." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was a flower shop."
"Flower shop..." Chu Zihang's eyes twitched.
"The flower shop has been open for a long time and seems to be doing well. I also paid the boss a large amount of money. The requirement is that every two weeks, someone will be sent to a certain ward in Chengnan Hospital to bring a bouquet of flowers to a patient.
Ask Sasha's patient to change it for him." Chu Tianjiao said, "I left a long list of words on a piece of paper.
Names, each flower was sent under the name of one of these people. Among them were the crew members of the 'Yamal' that I investigated, the girls that Sasha had been in contact with, Vincent, and Sasha.
Mom and sister, in the end I hesitated and still didn’t write my name.”
"I don't know if it's out of self-blame or regret, but I feel that if Sasha hadn't known me, he might have been able to live a happy life in the future." Chu Tianjiao looked at the ceiling and said softly.
"I don't think Sasha will regret knowing you." Chu Zihang suddenly looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "Everyone has the ability to choose themselves. Sasha has always been forced by fate, but over the years he has also
He has been making the choices he wanted to make, including entering the Nibelungen and finally covering you."
"Once a man makes a certain choice, the word regret should not be in the dictionary." Caesar agreed with Chu Zihang this time, "No matter whether his ending is lucky or tragic."
"Maybe." Chu Tianjiao was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Vincent's remaining money deposited in the Zurich bank, I bought a cemetery for Vincent in the Berlin Cemetery in Germany, and the remaining money was averaged
It was distributed to every crew member on the 'Yamal' and their families, and I didn't leave a penny behind. After doing this, I left Russia and haven't been back for these years."
After saying this, Chu Tianjiao slowly put out the cigarette in his hand. The cigarette butt had burned cleanly. After he took a deep breath of the last smoke, he showed a relieved expression, as if he was bidding farewell to a long past.
The silence in the room lasted for a long time. Lu Mingfei and Caesar looked at each other several times. Chu Zihang wanted to speak several times, but in the end he said nothing.
"Don't comfort me. Many years have passed since these things happened. I have come out of it a long time ago. Every man will have a thrilling experience when he is young." Chu Tianjiao suddenly smiled and looked at Chu Zihang, "You guys
Your life is more exciting than mine. Son, these classmates of yours are great people. Remember to always cherish those who are loyal to you."
"I know." Chu Zihang nodded lightly.
"So after leaving Russia, Uncle Chu, did you come to this city?" Nono asked Chu Tianjiao, "Because of the coordinates left in the 'Island of Death'?"
"Actually, I also sent people to investigate the capital and the Three Gorges, but no effective information was obtained. After arriving in this city, I found some clues." At this point, Chu Tianjiao paused and scratched his head in embarrassment, "
Another reason is because I met my son’s mother here, and I kind of forgot about it in those few years.”
"Then Uncle Chu, you won't be able to leave, right?" Lu Mingfei pointed at the photos of Su Xiaoyan on the photo wall, and teased, "Uncle Chu, is this your main mission?"
"Although my status does not support what I say, but a man is busy all his life. Isn't it necessary to marry a wife and have children?" Chu Tianjiao was not shy at all. He put his arm around Chu Zihang's shoulders and said, "My wife is the main task, and my son is the main task.
After the birth, it is also the main task. With such a beautiful wife and such a smart son, who doesn’t want to worry more?"
Chu Tianjiao's expression was a little awkward, but he still didn't push away Chu Tianjiao's hand on his shoulder.
"Uncle Chu, how many times have you met Odin in these years of living in this city?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.
