Chapter 81: The Cripple
Liu Kunlun didn't keep Chu Tong, he just watched her leave quietly, his girlfriend's abandonment was nothing compared to the pain of high paraplegia, how could a big husband have no wife, and he didn't have to worry about having no offspring, but a high paraplegic and unconscious person from the waist down would not have a wife and offspring in this life, he had to accept his fate.
The fourth sister came in, and persuaded her younger brother worriedly, saying don't blame others, a female student is still in school, and this kind of thing is on the stall, we can't delay others for a lifetime, if you want to blame, blame our own life.
Yes, I can't blame others, if you want to blame, blame yourself for your own bad life, Liu Kunlun pretended to wave his hand easily: "I'm fine, sister, I can't go to the house often, your parents just say I'm on a business trip." ”
"I have a number, don't think about it, I just talked to the doctor, the next step is to take acupuncture therapy, there is an old Chinese medicine doctor who is amazing......" The fourth sister picked up an apple and peeled it, and began to comfort her younger brother.
Liu Kunlun once heard the son of a college student who was a patient in the next bed say that whenever a patient starts to look for traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he understands that he really can't stand up.
……
A month later, Liu Kunlun should be discharged from the hospital, the so-called Beijing, Shanghai, the United States and Japan, he didn't go, and it was in vain to spend money to go, the pomp and circumstance on the day of discharge was low-key and simple, Lu Gang arranged an ambulance to pull Liu Kunlun home with his wheelchair, and the family had already bought a bed that could shake the head of the bed, but Liu Kunlun, who had been lying for 30 days, was unwilling to go home and go to bed, insisting on sitting down and talking.
Lu Gang said: "Kunlun, you take care of your illness, don't worry about the rest, the company is all inclusive." "In fact, all the treatment costs are indeed fully reimbursed by the unit, and Liu Kunlun's work has not been lost, and he still has a salary every month, according to what Lu Gang said at the middle-level cadre meeting, Liu Kunlun is a meritorious man, and we have to take responsibility for such a person who is disabled, and we must not let the employees chill.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Liu Kunlun said.
This is a heart of all employees of the company. Lu Gang pushed an envelope over, this was a charity fundraiser in the big market, a total of more than 5,000 was raised, Lu Gang himself added 5,000 yuan, made up 10,000 yuan, and Liu Kunlun also accepted it.
"Get well as soon as possible, get back to work, and keep your desk for you." Lu Gang comforted him a few more words, got up to say goodbye, and the fourth sister sent him to the door, Lu Gang told him that he must tell himself if he had something, don't be polite, the fourth sister sent him away with a thousand thanks.
When the fourth sister came back, Liu Kunlun asked the fourth sister how much it cost to see a doctor.
"I don't know, it's all the money that Mr. Lu takes, about hundreds of thousands. The fourth sister said.
"I don't get paid. Liu Kunlun said that Lu always pays attention to people, and he can't be uninteresting, hundreds of thousands are enough to offset his contributions, he really eats others for a lifetime, he doesn't have this face.
The fourth sister sighed and went to cook, Liu Kunlun looked at his wheelchair, this is a Yuyue brand folding wheelchair, black iron pipe and leather cushion seats, shiny steel tires, these will be his legs in the future.
……
Liu Kunlun hibernated at home for a few days and couldn't bear the loneliness, began to learn to use a wheelchair, he was still young, his arms were strong, he could easily move himself to the wheelchair, but going downstairs is very problematic, the four wheels of the wheelchair are not designed for going up and down the stairs, the house he bought is on the sixth floor, and he has to help others to go up and down, fortunately, there are many brothers, and a phone call can call someone.
On the surface, Liu Kunlun's life is not much different from before, his young men are in shifts, and there is a special person responsible for picking up Liu Kunlun every day, rain or shine, there is a trick to pushing a wheelchair, to push the big wheel backwards, push downstairs, help people to sit in the car, and then fold the wheelchair and put it in the trunk, drive to the company, push Liu Kunlun to the desk, read the newspaper, drink tea, a drink at noon, a drink at night, and the day passed like this.
Every time he drinks, Liu Kunlun will get drunk, he didn't like to drink liquor before, he thought that his father would beat him after drinking spirits, the taste of liquor and pain are linked, but now drink any wine, the higher the better, it is best to mix and drink, people mix wine is to drink white first and then drink beer, he mixes two kinds of wine in a cup to drink, in short, it is for the purpose of drinking himself as soon as possible.
After drinking into mud, the brothers carried him home, or sent him to Kaiser Hot Spring Palace to open a room, and once a few kind-hearted brothers also called a technician for Liu Kunlun, but he was completely unconscious from the waist down and had lost this part of his function.
Behind his back, the brothers talked about Brother Kunlun and regretted it, but it was not a way to drink with him like this for a long time, and slowly he called someone to drink, and someone excused himself, so he drank it himself, called the owner of the small supermarket downstairs, and asked him to send the barrel of inferior liquor up, and drank the liquor with leftovers, a pound and a half, drunk and fell asleep, and did not go to work for a week, and gradually people did not come to pick up.
Liu Kunlun was reluctant to ask for help, he tried to go downstairs by himself, and found that the biggest problem was not himself, but the wheelchair, he could only push the wheelchair down the stairs, and then climb down by himself, so that it was not as fast as climbing by himself. In the end, he came up with a way, locked the wheelchair with a chain lock in the carport downstairs, found a wooden board to tie his legs around and tied it to it, and made two rubber padded hand rests by himself, holding one in each hand, using arms instead of legs, and practicing several times in a row, he could walk up and down the stairs like flying.
In fact, this practice is not Liu Kunlun's patent, those people on the street who have lower limb disabilities and can't afford to buy a wheelchair or deliberately want to sell miserably do this, find a wooden board to rest themselves on it, preferably there are four small steel wheels under the wooden board, and beg while sliding forward with their hands on the rough cement floor, which is simply the standard configuration of this kind of beggar.
Liu Kunlun wanted face, he didn't even go to get a disability certificate, and he didn't want to go to the company anymore, because he didn't want to see the pitying eyes of others, he began to walk around the street with nothing to do, because he could only travel by wheelchair, and his radius of movement was much smaller than before.
Once, when Liu Kunlun was wandering on the street, he suddenly saw a tall figure in front of him, a down jacket and jeans, youthful and lively, it was Chu Tong, his heart was hot, and he drove a wheelchair to catch up, the girl walked fast with long legs, Liu Kunlun followed for a long time and didn't catch up, the girl turned the corner of the street, and suddenly came back with a man by her side.
"Husband, it's him, he's been following me!" The girl is not Chu Tong, she is a native of Omi, she has a horse face, but her back is good-looking.
The man glared at Liu Kunlun: "What are you following my girlfriend for?"
Liu Kunlun said: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”
The man didn't give up: "Forget it, you coax me, why do you recognize the wrong person, you are blind." ”
Liu Kunlun said: "I'm sorry, she looks like my former girlfriend. ”
The man laughed: "Just you, you are a dead cripple and have a girlfriend?"
This is the first time that someone said that Liu Kunlun was lame in person, the anger he had accumulated for a long time suddenly broke out, and the whole person jumped up like a leopard, throwing the one-meter-eight tall man to the ground, a storm of fists, followed by pulling out the dagger on his waist, pressing the man's head with one hand, and cutting off the dagger on the opponent's neck with the other hand like killing a chicken.
At the critical moment, the girl screamed, waking Liu Kunlun up from his rage, he picked up the dagger, there was a blood mark on the man's neck, he was speechless in horror, and his eyes were full of fear.
"I'm a cripple, but you shouldn't add a dead word. Liu Kunlun put the dagger back into his waist, and the man saw that he was carrying a circle of sharp weapons around his waist, since he was attacked, Liu Kunlun was even more insecure, and often carried several knives on his body.
Liu Kunlun climbed into the wheelchair neatly, turned around and left, the girl helped her boyfriend up, the two of them turned pale, and they didn't dare to call the police, so they left quietly.
On the bustling streets, the crowds are surging, today is Christmas Eve, the young people are going to the city center, there are fireworks, there are various performances, only a wheelchair man moves against the crowd, he slides the wheelchair with his hand, and comes to the Huaijiang Bridge.
The rolling river passed away, there was a neon in the distance, the river wind whimpered, Liu Kunlun erected the collar of the leather coat, this leather coat was obtained after he followed Brother Kang to deal with Li Suifeng's kidnapping incident that year.
"Brother Kang, shouldn't I come to you? Liu Kunlun took out the cigarette case, only the last cigarette was left, which also seemed to indicate something, he lit the cigarette, smoked slowly in the wind, looked at the black river, and whispered: "Brother Kang, Xiaoxiao, I'm here." ”
Just as he was leaving his wheelchair and trying to climb the guardrail of the bridge, a voice came from behind him: "Comrade, diving is prohibited here, violators will be fined." ”
