Chapter 284: Death Foreshadowed
Ever since she learned of her brother's injury, Jolene's world had lost focus, everything had been blurred, her ears were not working, and whoever spoke to her felt as far away as a thousand mountains and rivers.
There were only two words left in her head – what if.
If you had a malignant tumor back then, your family would have been so dispossessed that you would have forgotten your grief? Probably not, it was a slow process after all, and your family would slowly understand and accept it. Besides, he is the most disadvantaged of the three children, and his parents (especially his mother) have nothing to be proud of. Overall, they don't panic as much as they do when they learn that their brother is critically ill.
If my brother really sacrificed, what would happen to this world? There would be a small hole in the defense line, but someone else would soon fill it, and the Qiao family would lose a pillar, and this pillar was made of the best golden silk nanmu, which was unique in the world, and once it fell, it could never be repaired.
To sum up, in the country and at home, the role of the elder brother is greater. Let her die for her brother if she could!
If, if...... Jolene pondered these possibilities repeatedly, tears falling to the back of her hand.
I have the impression that they did not buy tickets, and several people in military uniforms were waiting for them at the airport early in the morning. Under their meticulous arrangement, Jolene walked the green channel for the first time in her life, but she didn't feel like a wind at all, she was a puppet.
On the plane, my mom was crying all the time. Jolene didn't seem to comfort her, she didn't know how to comfort her, she wanted to cry but she didn't dare to cry - what if crying really brought misfortune?
At the Beijing airport, several more men in military uniforms were waiting for them and took them to the hospital. Along the way, only Dad spoke, and he was the only one in the Qiao family who remained rational. But all his words were nothing more than thanks, and then he asked about his brother's situation.
A soldier said: "Now experts are transferred from several major hospitals for consultation, they are all at the top of the pyramid in their respective fields, and Comrade Qiao Nan will be fine." ”
It's no wonder that so many experts can be mobilized. But Qiao Jianjun didn't cry like his wife and daughter, he simply said: "I'm causing you trouble." ”
The time they arrived at the hospital was half past eleven at noon, the lights in the operating room were still on, and a bunch of people had gathered outside the operating room, most of them were wearing military uniforms, only Sun Ruiyang and Wen Jing were acquaintances.
The man in military uniform shook hands with his parents and greeted them, giving them reassurance in vain. Jolene came to the corner, and without saying a word, threw herself into her boyfriend's arms.
Sun Ruiyang hugged her, and after such a long period of suffering, he also became a repeater: "It's okay, it's going to be okay." ”
The doctor once said that the five hours after the first operation were the most dangerous, and in those five hours, Qiao Nan survived very tenaciously and passed safely for a while. Just when Sun Ruiyang and Wen Jing thought that he was passing the dangerous period, his blood pressure suddenly dropped wildly, and his heart stopped beating again. He was unaware of all this, but once again pushed his relatives and friends to the brink of collapse.
The second hemorrhage, which the doctor feared most, still happened, and it was even more dangerous than the first one. Soon after entering the operating room, the nurse told them to be mentally prepared and, if necessary, to inform their families to prepare for the future.
Wen Jing couldn't support it for a long time, if it weren't for Sun Ruiyang taking care of her, she would have fainted. Like Jolene, she forgot to cry and repeated over and over again: "If he had three long and two short, I wouldn't live." ”
Sun Ruiyang took care of the two girls in the corner and let them sit and rest for a while. However, as soon as they sat down, the nurse shouted to the family. It turned out that Qiao Nan had symptoms of chest infection, and the doctor suggested that the trachea be cut so that the ventilator could be inserted. At this juncture, the opinions of the family members must be sought.
The Qiao family was completely stunned, they had already lost their masters. Li Lanzhi muttered: "Don't cut it, what's ...... about this?"
"Cut!" Sun Ruiyang interrupted the elder's words for the first time, and said extremely calmly: "I am also his family member, and I agree to cut the trachea." ”
Although Qiao Jianjun didn't know what to do, at this time, he relied on the calm Sun Ruiyang, so he nodded and said, "Cut!"
Li Lanzhi was anxious and annoyed: "How much sin it is to cut the trachea? Isn't the ventilator directly inserted into the throat?"
Sun Ruiyang explained: "Mr. Li, if the tube is inserted into the throat, it is easy to cause infection. The nurse said that Qiao Nange had already shown symptoms of infection, and it was more appropriate to cut the trachea. ”
Li Lanzhi covered her face and cried again, Qiao Lin knew for the first time that her mother had so many tears.
Qiao Jianjun was much calmer than his wife, he sat back in the chair, and thought: "Since it has come to this point, why should the doctor ask us, can't we just cut it directly?"
Sun Ruiyang didn't dare to answer.
Only he immediately heard the subtext of the nurse - this person is basically hopeless, and before he dies, he will be stabbed, are you willing to do this?
Sun Ruiyang interrupted Li Lanzhi's words and quickly made a judgment, not only to gain time for rescue, but also to block the subtext of the nurse. But he didn't dare to tell anyone, just held his girlfriend's hand tightly.
Qiao Lin has long been out of her body, she doesn't know the few people in military uniforms around her, it should be that the more stars on her shoulders, the bigger the officer! At this moment, her memory is surprisingly good. She remembered that the man closest to her had four stars on his shoulders and two bars, but not like her brother, those bars did not cross the stars. When others came to him for advice, he was very irritable and anxious. He often stomped his feet, shook his fingers, and yelled at his subordinates again and again. Jolene didn't hear anything else, but she was frequently brainwashed by two sentences.
"I don't care, I must save it at all costs!"
"If people can't be saved, you can get out of here!"
quite has the demeanor of the emperor in those costume dramas, "If it can't be cured, you will look up and see you!"
Arrogant and domineering, but Jolene was very touched - such a big chief also cares about her brother's life!
So, although she doesn't know who he is, Jolene is grateful for him.
Another group of people in military uniforms came, and those who didn't know thought they were coming to the hospital to perform some mission, so that pedestrians avoided it. In fact, they are also here to donate blood, and saving the life of a hero is their most important task.
An hour later, Qiao Lu also came, and she didn't even have time to pick up her luggage, so she hurried to the hospital. Breathless, she ran to the door of the emergency room and found her family arguing with the nurse about something.
The nurse is equally calm, as if describing an unrepairable machine: "This time the cardiac arrest has been more than ten minutes, and it still hasn't recovered, do you want to continue resuscitation?"
Qiao Lu, who has always been strong, fell to his knees with a puff, rubbed his hands and begged bitterly: "Please don't give up, I finally came back, I am reunited with him, not to see him off!"
"But for now, there's really no hope. ”
This time, it was Sun Ruiyang who stood up, and he said as calmly as possible: "Cardiac arrest does not mean death, in the history of medicine, there are many examples of heartbeat stopping for half an hour, but still rescued." I beg you not to give up, hold on for another twenty minutes, just twenty minutes, okay?"
The nurse didn't do much rebuttal and turned back to the operating room. Although she could have predicted the end, she didn't want to give up the life of a hero. Not only her, but also other health care workers.
As soon as the nurse entered, another two-bar two-star and a one-bar three-star came. Qiao Lin recognized a three-star bar, he was her brother's good brother Zhao Yu. Hearing that something had happened to their brother, they rushed over all the way.
Zhao Yu brought a small handbag, which he held tightly in his hand and never let go for a moment. Sun Ruiyang's mind spun fast, and he immediately understood - if Qiao Nan really sacrificed, the contents of the handbag would be called a "relic"!
He tried to block Jolene's view and told her not to look.
Although there were many soldiers in the corridor, there were many but not chaotic, and most of the time it remained quiet. But at some point, a couple of reporters broke in. I don't know if I have permission or not, a female reporter faced the camera, sorted out her makeup, and then cried so much: "As far as we know, this seriously injured hero is still being rescued, and his life is in danger at any time, let us ......"
"Get out!" The two bars and four stars were particularly angry, pointing at them and scolding: "Who put it in? Who let them shoot? If you know something, you will shout and shout it!"
This anger finally cleared the noisy corridor a lot, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed. The anger subsided, but the uncontrollable frustration came back to him, and he still walked around irritably.
A propaganda officer whispered a few words to him, and he said a few more words of lion's roar: "The people are still in there to rescue them! What do you want to prepare?"
The propaganda officer was afraid that Qiao's family would hear it, so he lowered his voice again, not knowing what to say. The two bars and four stars stomped their feet angrily: "What are you going to do? Why are you so leisurely?"
"The nurse secretly told me that there was no help, and now it was just a buffer time for their family. ”
The two-bar four-star is no longer a majestic and high-spirited lion, he suddenly fell down, walked around several times, and muttered: "Draft, draft, just like that...... Hmmm!"
"What are you going to do?"
A little girl suddenly shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention. There are so many people here that you may say hello and forget about it in the blink of an eye. But this little girl, they still recognize, she is the hero's sister.
Jolene blinked, and the tears couldn't be stopped: "My brother is not dead yet, what are you in a hurry to prepare?"
Everyone couldn't bear to speak, so the little girl was allowed to vent: "You shouldn't be like this...... Where is there anyone who is in a hurry to prepare for the aftermath before he dies? "Soldier Assault" says, don't give up, don't give up, you are all the People's Liberation Army, why don't you even understand this truth? My brother hasn't given up yet, and you have announced in advance that he is dead?"
Jolene was crying very restrainedly, but after venting, the cry shook the sky. Zhao Yu still clung to the handbag, but took her into his arms with one free hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "You're right, your brother won't give up, we think too much." ”
The soldiers stopped talking and no longer discussing, but Qiao Jianjun had already felt something, he pulled the two bars and four stars and asked, "We're late, I don't know if Qiao Nan has left anything behind?"
"Call the police......" The two-bar four-star face twitched, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes, and tried his best to be as usual: "He didn't even say who he was, he just asked the nurse to call the police and let the police clean up the scene." ”
"Nothing else?"
"No ......"
There was no word for a while.
"Good, good. In the end, Qiao Jianjun bowed slightly, and said nothing more.
In the emergency room, no matter how many times the doctor does cardiac resuscitation, no matter how many times the nurse squeezes the blood bag, the ECG monitor is still a steady straight line.
The doctor was still stubbornly rescuing, but was persuaded by several nurses: "You can't press anymore, or you will be injured." ”
"No, you can't give up like this......"
"It's been more than thirty minutes...... nurse said sadly, looking at the time, "it's time to announce death." ”
