Chapter 358 The Closing Stage
Hum Long——
The clumsy honking of the horn rang through the streets.
At the crossroads at dusk, Mrs. Ogiwara walks like the wind, her thin and tall figure hangs down on the zebra crossing, and her shadow is drawn very slender.
Da da da da, da da da da.
The high-heeled shoes knocked on the ground, making a series of light and crisp sounds, but it was covered by the thick whistle.
She couldn't help picking up her pace again, and ran towards the opposite side of the street like a trot, trying to cross the road before the bright red truck arrived.
According to the time, she can arrive safely.
However, when she ran to the middle of the zebra crossing, the originally stable rhythm suddenly became chaotic.
——Crack.
Accompanied by the sound of something snapping, a stone flashed in the corner of the eye at an extremely fast speed, and bounced twice on the road as if it was floating in water, before disappearing.
Before she could react, the right foot she stepped out just now was suddenly empty, and a strong sense of imbalance pulled her forward, and she fell to the ground all at once.
"ah!"
Mrs. Ogiwara exclaimed, her body had an intimate contact with the asphalt road.
Slap, clatter.
The lady's bag in his hand fell to the ground, and the items contained in it were scattered all over the road.
Mrs. Ogiwara, who was in pain, didn't care about these things for the time being, but instinctively turned her head to look at her feet, and saw that the black high-heeled shoe on her right foot broke off at some point, exposing the rubber surface of the sole .
And not far from the feet, the broken shoe heel was lying there quietly, lying dead on the street.
hum- hum-
The sound of a whistle in her ear brought her back to reality.
Mrs. Ogiwara suddenly realized that she was still in the middle of the road, so she hurriedly supported her with her hands and wanted to get up.
only……
"Hiss... ah...!"
As soon as she exerted herself, a sharp pain rose from her right foot, causing her to take a deep breath and reflexively sat down on the ground again.
Mrs. Ogiwara clenched her silver teeth, curled up her calves, and looked down.
I saw that the ankle of the right foot was already bulging high, and a large lump was red and swollen. It was obviously the ankle sprain caused by the empty step just now.
She tried hard to stand up again, but the sprained right foot seemed to have pulled all the nerves in her body. Just a little movement, the bone-piercing pain immediately beat in her brain, and instantly dispersed the strength she had organized in her body .
"Ahh...it hurts to death!!"
Mrs. Ogiwara wailed loudly, with big cold sweat on her forehead, and her facial features were twisted together.
The sharp voice resounded through the street, bringing many people back to their senses.
"—Hey! That aunt can't seem to get up!!"
"The car! The car is coming—!"
"Who's coming! Who's coming to save her—!"
Students on both sides of the street looked around and shouted.
Someone is about to move their legs.
Buzz buzz buzz ---! ! !
The bright red truck issued a loud warning, as if driving the passers-by away.
After such a while.
Those people stopped again.
On one side was a huge truck approaching at high speed, and on the other side was a middle-aged woman who fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Faced with all this, no one dares to try to compare the speed with the truck.
Everyone froze in place as if they were frightened, as if the people on the ground would be smashed to pieces in the next second.
Mrs. Ogiwara turned her head to look at the truck. Through the transparent windshield, the driver inside also looked at him in horror, and said something with her mouth wide open, but she couldn't hear it.
It was only a few seconds from when she ran a red light to when she fell to the ground.
However, these few seconds seem to have become a natural barrier. The distance between the two sides has reached. Even if the driver steps on the brakes, the truck will inevitably have no time to stop.
Both are wrong.
She shouldn't be running a red light, and the other person shouldn't be driving so fast.
In the driver's seat, the driver was already looking desperate.
Mrs. Ogiwara also clearly saw the other person's expression.
Her brain became blank, and the surroundings suddenly became strangely quiet, and even the pain seemed to be far away from her.
The past is constantly replaying in front of my eyes like a revolving lantern.
From being young and youthful to being in love, from being in full bloom to being side-by-side, from family harmony to being alone.
Uniforms, formal wear, wedding dresses, aprons.
Just in the blink of an eye, it seems to have come to an end.
Mrs. Ogiwara's pupils dilated extremely, and there was never a moment in her life where she could clearly feel that death was so approaching.
She wanted to leave, but her body became stiff as if an emergency mechanism had been triggered, unable to make any movements.
Parents, husband, Yi Sa... the faces of several people emerged in front of my eyes one by one, and there was no Sayu in them.
A look of misery flashed across Mrs. Ogiwara's face, and she closed her eyes unwillingly, waiting to meet her fate.
Look at the scene in front of you.
Sayu widened her eyes dully and froze in place.
His thoughts were as dull as if he was stuck in a quagmire, and he couldn't think of anything other than wanting to yell.
At this moment, a calm and resolute familiar voice suddenly came to my ears.
"—Go save her, don't be afraid."
That was just a moment.
Before the brain could react, the body had rushed out instinctively.
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-.
In the terrified expressions of the onlookers.
The girl strode her legs vigorously, rushed to the middle of the road, and rushed to the side of her mother.
Crunch creak creak creak——! !
The screeching brakes exploded on the street, and the tires rubbed against the ground violently, producing a smell like burning rubber.
The huge bright red truck was dragged forward under the influence of the momentum, and could not stop.
"--Mother!"
A clear and transparent voice rang in her ears, and Mrs. Ogiwara was startled, and her eyes widened instantly.
"Eh---?"
"I'll help you up, hurry up—!!" Sayu said in a trembling voice, her face full of desperate looks.
Mrs. Ogiwara's eyes were wet in an instant, and the emotions in her eyes were extremely complicated. Her lips were moving, and she cursed even though she was choking.
"...Idiot, what are you doing here—!!? Go away!!"
Sayu said nothing about this, but shook his head vigorously, looking straight at the opposite side of the road, exuding an inexplicable determination and stubbornness.
She hugged Mrs. Ogiwara's body with all her strength, and a huge energy surged from her small body, trying to lift her from the ground.
Sensing the strength coming from her body, the emotions in Mrs. Ogiwara's eyes became extremely complicated.
She could never have imagined that this daughter, whom she had always regarded as a nuisance, bored and alienated, would risk her life to save her in such a desperate situation.
"——It's too late! It's about to hit it!!!" Someone exclaimed from the street.
From the corner of the eye, the bright red truck occupies the entire field of vision.
"Close your eyes—!"
Mrs. Ogiwara screamed, exhausting the last bit of strength in her body, hugging Sayu tightly in her arms, and turning her back to the truck.
The past behavior cannot be undone, but at the last moment of her life, she sincerely hopes that she can make amends, even if it is just to protect this daughter for one more second...
——Buzz!
The heat wave of the truck rolled up the dust and roared.
The onlookers on both sides of the street closed their eyes one after another, unable to bear to watch the next scene.
However in the next second.
"Hold me tight."
With a steady voice ringing in the ears, a solid force wrapped the two of them together.
Mrs. Ogiwara and Sayu felt their bodies lighten up suddenly, and the scene in their eyes spun.
The strong wind hit the face, and it hurt people's cheeks.
Crunch creak creak creak——! !
Yah——!
The truck rushed across the zebra crossing, slid for a certain distance, and stopped not far away.
A deadly silence spread across the street.
Only then did everyone look to the middle of the road, there was no one there, only two deep brake belts remained on the ground.
There was a gap of more than ten seconds at the scene.
The dazed crowd looked around, looking for the trace of the mother and daughter.
Click, snap.
The truck driver jumped out of the car, walked around to the front of the car, looked around, and then rubbed his eyes, looking very confused.
at this time……
--Snapped.
A crisp sound broke the silence.
Immediately after—
"—Who told you to come and save me! You! Stupid child——!" The woman's sharp reprimand sounded.
Everyone then looked towards the source of the voice.
I saw a man and two women standing on the street some distance away from the traffic lights.
The girl in uniform was covering half of her cheek, while the middle-aged woman in suit raised her right hand, as if she had just slapped her daughter.
The crowd couldn't help being startled.
Before they come back to their senses...
"In the end, why——! Woohoo..." Mrs. Ogiwara hugged Sayu, brought their heads together, and cried out.
"Mom..." Sayu murmured, with an expression on her face that seemed perplexed or bewildered, her hands were hanging powerlessly by her legs, a little at a loss.
"Why did you come to save me! I've been treating you so well... just let it go!"
Hearing this, Sayu's pupils shook violently, and tears slowly pooled in the eye sockets.
An indescribable emotion welled up in his chest, mixed with the rejoicing of being alive after the catastrophe, making his heart fluctuate.
She sucked her sore nose, moved her hands up to Mrs. Ogiwara's shoulder blades, slowly and cautiously as if groping in the dark, and finally hugged her gently, tears slid down her face silently.
None of this escaped Kato Yusuke's eyes.
Looking at the two hugging each other, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "Why Sayu saved you in such a situation, isn't it a very simple matter? Aunt Ogiwara."
"...?"
Mrs. Ogiwara cried and looked over.
"If you want to say the reason, it can only be because you are Sayu's mother, and she loves you from the bottom of her heart, right?"
"Love……?"
"That's right." Kato Yusuke nodded and said in affirmation: "Although I don't know what you think, there is no child who does not love his parents. The love a child gives to parents is free, even if you hate Sayu. Nothing will change."
"Great love..." Mrs. Ogiwara murmured with a very complicated expression.
It is not that the parents give their children free love, in fact, the children give their parents more and more love.
Unlike her who has always regarded her daughter as a bond with her husband, Sayu always regards her as a mother and loves her even if she is treated excessively.
Mrs. Ogiwara immediately thought of this from Yusuke's words.
She opened and closed her mouth, a feeling of embarrassment came from the bottom of her heart, and finally she just bowed her head in embarrassment and shed tears of regret.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." She covered her mouth and said to the girl, as if facing her daughter shamelessly.
After experiencing the crisis of life and death, even a person like Mrs. Ogiwara will not feel untouched in his heart.
Sayu just supported her silently, but her eyes were fixed on Kato Yusuke's face, and some emotion seemed to be brewing in her tearful eyes.
The boy nodded slightly at this, and returned a gentle smile, and then put his hand into the pocket of his jeans, which contained a few stones.
"You stay here first, I'll go and pick up my aunt's things, and I'll send you back later."
Kato Yusuke walked towards the zebra crossing in the middle of the road alone, and Mrs. Ogiwara's lady's bag was still there.
Wallet, keys, cell phone, crushed lipstick...
He put all these things scattered on the ground into a bag, then reached into his trouser pocket, threw a few stones inside into the green belt, and then walked towards Sayu and the others.
The onlookers subconsciously gave way.
"Hey, you, boy—!" The previous truck driver ran over, stood in front of him, and said gratefully: "You were the one who saved the mother and daughter just now, right? Thank you! Thank you—!"
"No, it's nothing." Kato Yusuke shook his head, not accepting this argument.
After the driver said this, the rest of the people also reacted and gathered their eyes in an instant.
Due to various reasons, many people did not see clearly what happened at that time. They only knew that the mother and daughter had been miraculously rescued after the truck stopped.
And judging from the fact that Yusuke appeared next to the two of them afterwards, it is easy to conclude that it was he who saved the person.
"Hey, isn't that person... a student of our school?" A student seemed to recognize his face, and suddenly said so.
"Ah, really... Isn't that Iwanami from Class 3, Class [-]? I saw him at the tournament."
"Why is he here?"
Leaving aside the discussion of the students, other enthusiastic citizens are more concerned about another matter.
"Little brother, are you all right?"
"The lady seems to be injured, do you need to call an ambulance?"
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Kato Yusuke didn't want to attract more attention, nodded politely to everyone, and then hurried back to Sayu.
"Let me carry you, Aunt Ogiwara." He said so, and after obtaining Mrs. Ogiwara's approval, he carried it directly.
Then he whispered to Sayu: "My confinement period will not end until next Tuesday, so let's get out of here first."
The girl nodded at this, glanced at the crowd around her, and didn't say much.
Watched by the crowd, the three of them left quickly together, and soon disappeared at a certain intersection.
