Standing in the ICU ward, Ren Pingsheng looked at Shi Xiaolian, who had just been rescued by surgery, and was greatly shocked both mentally and spiritually.

On the hospital bed, she was wrapped in layers of bandages all over her body, like a silkworm chrysalis that had not metamorphosis, and she couldn't see the appearance of the thin girl in the past.

Because the skin injury on her back was particularly serious, Shi Xiaolian could only lie down in a prone position, and in order to facilitate the operation and prevent wound infection, her hair was also shaved and replaced by a circle of bandages, leaving only the position of the eyes and mouth.

No matter which direction he looked at, Ren Pingsheng couldn't recognize this as Shi Xiaolian.

Although the operation has been completed, Shi Xiaolian is still in a coma, she has no consciousness at all, only the slow heart fluctuation chart on the detection instrument can also prove the existence of this life.

"Doctor, how is she doing, when will she wake up?"

Ren Pingsheng asked worriedly:

The attending doctor was on the sidelines and explained:

"The main injury of the patient is that the crush injury syndrome caused by long-term gravitational squeezing refers to the necrosis of the muscle due to muscle ischemia and hypoxia, which is manifested by hyperkalemia, soy sauce-colored urine, and acute kidney injury. The essence is that after rhabdomyolysis, the contents of muscle cells are released into the blood circulation, causing a series of potentially fatal complications, for example, hyperkalemia can directly cause cardiac arrest and lead to sudden death!"

The muscles on Ren Pingsheng's face twitched, and the attending doctor continued as usual:

"Necrotic muscles, once the squeezing force is removed, the blood is restored all of a sudden, which will cause the classic medical "ischemia reperfusion injury (reperfusion)", the injured tissue will immediately become severely edema, accompanied by a large number of inflammatory factors, myoglobin, free radicals, and the release of potassium ions in the cells, which is easy to cause patients to hypovolemic shock, acute hypovolemic shock, which is the reason why many injured people are declared dead or die suddenly after the earthquake. “

Ren Pingsheng's face became even more ugly, and he asked:

"So now, will there be sequelae? ”

The attending doctor nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"Fortunately, you sent it in time, and there will be no way if it is ten minutes late. After our rescue, the patient's potassium ions have been diluted and his vital signs have improved. However, we are currently unable to tell whether complications will recur, and we can only observe the recovery status further. ”

Ren Pingsheng's brows were already furrowed, and he continued to ask:

"What's the worst?"

The attending doctor looked at his face and whispered:

"In the worst case, the necrotic part of the muscle is removed to prevent infection throughout the body. In other words, there is a possibility of amputation. ”

Although the attending doctor's voice was already very quiet, that word hit Ren Pingsheng's ears like a thunderbolt, shaking his internal organs trembling.

Thinking of the possibility that this kind, pure, and positive girl may need to be amputated, even Ren Pingsheng, who has always been good at controlling his emotions, can't help but show a painful look.

Shi Xiaolian is so young, she is still in the best years of a girl's life, she has not enjoyed the warmth of her lover, has not experienced the happiness of marriage and family, and is about to face such a cruel life.

God, that's so unfair to her.

Ren Pingsheng clenched his teeth, grabbed the attending doctor's hand, and pleaded hoarsely:

"Doctor, please be sure to treat her well, whatever is needed, I can provide it, please be sure not to let her have her amputated, please, thank you. ”

The attending doctor looked at Ren Pingsheng with sympathy, nodded and said:

"We also know the heroic deeds of the patients to protect the students, and we will definitely do our best to rescue such a heroic teacher. However, there is no 100% medical treatment, and if the situation does deteriorate to that point, we can only prioritize the patient's life......"

Ren Pingsheng understood the meaning of the doctor's words, and he knew that with the medical level of West China Hospital, the diagnosis they made basically represented the authoritative ruling of the domestic medical community.

In this case, he had no choice but to respect the doctor's professional authority.

......

After dragging her body out of the ICU, which was extremely heavy physically and mentally, the first thing Ren Pingsheng saw was Gao Yuanyuan's eyes full of concern and worry.

Gao Yuanyuan just gently reached out to hold him, feeling that the man's fingers were still trembling, she said softly:

"Don't worry, as long as people live, everything is fine. ”

Ren Pingsheng looked at Gao Yuanyuan's pair of tender eyes, and there seemed to be countless warm currents surging in his heart, he held the slender soft wattle gratefully, and whispered the doctor's diagnosis.

"Why, why is her fate so bumpy. ”

Ren Pingsheng shook his head, his face full of grief and sadness.

Gao Yuanyuan and Shi Xiaolian are of the same age, so she can empathize with how unfortunate it is for a girl to accept that fate, and she has always been good at expression management.

But Gao Yuanyuan quickly calmed down, because she found that the man around her was very different from before, and Ren Pingsheng, who had always been firm and confident to the point of being a little cold, was particularly vulnerable and sad this time.

Although Gao Yuanyuan didn't know the bond between Ren Pingsheng and Shi Xiaolian, she understood this, Ren Pingsheng needed the support and comfort of others at this moment, which was more important than anything else.

And those who can give him these at this moment, except for Gao Yuanyuan, don't think twice.

Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan gently stroked the man's cheek and said softly:

"Fate is not something we can decide, only the present moment can be grasped. ”

Ren Pingsheng's body trembled violently, and he looked at Gao Yuanyuan in disbelief, looking at the tenderness and persistence in her eyes.

"Now, what should I do, what can I do?"

Ren Pingsheng muttered to himself.

"You should take a good rest to reassure the people who love you and give confidence to the people you love. ”

Gao Yuanyuan is like convincing a child, and she is kind and seductive.

"You stay here, on the one hand, you can't help, on the other hand, it also worries me, and it doesn't help Xiao Pian at all. Why don't you go back and get some sleep and come back tomorrow, if there is anything, the doctor will inform you. ”

Gao Yuanyuan's tone was very gentle and beautiful, and the meaning of her words was completely correct, what else could Ren Pingsheng say, he could only obediently follow Gao Yuanyuan's instructions, and return to the disaster relief headquarters of Hanhai City to assist Shuchuan Province, lie on the bed that Gao Yuanyuan had made, and fall asleep deeply.

But Gao Yuanyuan didn't fall asleep for a long time, she looked at Ren Pingsheng's still deeply locked brows in her sleep, and she looked preoccupied, I don't know how long she watched.

And so the night passed.
