Chapter 353: Slabs and Sticks
When it was almost noon, I brought the fruit to the hospital where Wu Lei lived, he was still in a vegetative state, and no one accompanied him except the nurses in the hospital. Or, his family members are busy with their own business.
I asked the nurse, "Isn't there anyone here to take care of him?" ”
"Except for his girlfriend, who is a police officer, who comes to see him every day after work and helps him clean up, not many others come."
"Isn't his family coming either?"
"His mother has been taking care of him here, but he also got some illness last month and was admitted to another tumor hospital, anyway, I heard that it was quite serious!"
I feel very sad in my heart, I know that Wu Lei's father is an anti-narcotics policeman, and he died in the line of duty...... Wu Lei has such a thing now, and it is not much different from having a good family and breaking up.
I put the fruit I bought on the cabinet next to the hospital bed, and then moved a chair and sat down next to Wu Lei.
I just looked at his much-thinner face, and then I remembered the night of the accident...... We drank beer and said a lot about the right way on earth.
In my opinion, he really is a good cop.
My mood was a little low, so I said to him in a low voice, "Brother, I've come to see you...... I should have been here a long time ago, but so many things have happened lately that I can't do it...... I know that it is superfluous to say this to you, and you will not hear it, but I still hold back a lot of unpleasant words in my heart...... Sometimes, I wonder too...... If the truth is known, it will cost so much, is it worth exploring again? …… Perhaps, as an ordinary person, I'll choose to give up...... But you won't, because that's your calling...... So, you're going to wake up, right? …… As long as you can wake up, I won't be in a hurry to tell you the truth, I just want to go back to the Sycamore Hotel on Tulip Road with you and have another drink......"
At this point, I looked down and smiled, and then said, "You know what? I'm not a particularly optimistic person, but every time I drink with you, I have a belief that I must live well......"
After saying this, I closed my eyes, and there was an indescribable pain in my heart, and then I remembered the night when the piano shop caught fire, and the flames that sparked that day burned the whole sky red, and also burned out people's greed, who would dare to say that there was no dirty conspiracy behind this fire!
And Wu Lei and I are probably the ants behind this conspiracy!
……
A moment later, the door of the ward was pushed open, and it was Wu Lei's girlfriend Gu Lin, who was a little surprised to see me at first glance. Out of respect, I got up and said to her, "I'm about to leave Nanjing, so let's take a look at Wu Lei...... How is he doing lately? ”
Gu Lin hung his police hat on the hanger, and then said to me: "The treatment has been continuing, but he has no conscious feedback...... The doctor said that it was unlikely that he would wake up! ”
I looked at Gu Lin, her spirit and complexion were obviously much worse than when I first met her, and she should have been suffering a lot during this time.
I whispered to her again, "I heard that my aunt also went to the cancer hospital to be hospitalized...... She ......"
Gu Lin gave me a relaxed look, and then replied: "I was worried enough before entering the hospital, but fortunately, it was found to be a benign tumor last week, and I can recover after an open surgery in the hospital!" ”
I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and then looked at Wu Lei on the hospital bed, and then said to Gu Lin: "You also have to pay attention to your body...... Wu Lei can find a full-time nurse to take care of him. ”
Gu Lin helped Wu Lei with a leg massage, and replied with a helpless expression: "In order to treat Wu Lei, even the family's old house has been sold, where is there any spare money to find care...... Actually, I can't talk about being tired, and I can come over to accompany him for a while after work every day! ”
I felt incredible, because I didn't think that their financial situation had deteriorated to this point, and I asked, "Shouldn't the cost of treatment be paid for by the driver who caused the accident?" ”
He also gave 100,000 yuan in the early stage, but his car did not have third-party insurance, and he really couldn't afford such a high cost of treatment...... We can't wait for him to raise money, so we can only pay for the treatment ourselves, so let's talk about the compensation later. ”
I looked at Gu Lin with a look of powerlessness, because I really didn't have any money, otherwise I would have given it to her without hesitation...... At this time, I finally realized the importance of money. After all, people have good and bad luck, and if you want to live a stable and quiet life, the premise is that you must first earn enough money, otherwise it is impossible to live a sense of security in this world.
So, it's really a world that requires special effort, and the poor are not qualified to play with feelings, nor are they qualified to chase stability. Because of a disaster, everything will be fundamentally destroyed for the poor, just like Wu Lei at this time, he just encountered an unwarranted disaster, and there is nothing!
At noon, I used the little money I had left to invite Gu Lin to have a decent meal in the restaurant opposite the hospital. In the middle, I talked to her about the fire in the piano shop. She told me that this case has been thoroughly characterized, and it is an ordinary fire caused by the aging of electrical wiring. As for the composition of gasoline found at the scene of the crime, it was because there was a container for gasoline in that building, so it was not directly related to the fire.
It was with these answers that I said goodbye to Gu Lin.
She left first, I kept watching her back, and I felt a little self-blame in my heart, I still didn't have the ability to help Wu Lei and her after all...... And the occurrence of this incident finally made me have a little idea in my heart that I want to reflect...... I asked myself, is all this choice really the right thing to do? Should I keep Yang Jin and Jin Qiu thousands of miles away?
I didn't give myself an answer, I just carried my heavy bag on my shoulders in the harsh sun...... I'm going to Shanghai, where I can learn to play guitar and live a new life!
……
When it was almost evening, the train I took finally arrived in Shanghai, and the person who came to pick me up at the train station was my guitar teacher, Liu Liu.
As I rode his scooter along the avenue leading to the city, I was once again able to appreciate the boundless expanse of the city. And Liu Liu, two people who have no prospects, are like two tiny specks of dust in front of the tall buildings.
But no matter how small it is, it does not prevent the stories that have happened to us from being written into a book, and in this book, Shanghai is just a speck of dust drowning in our emotions......
Facing the fast wind, I asked Liu Liu loudly, "Was that abandoned factory sold by Yao Yu?" ”
Yao Yu is still contacting buyers...... However, that place has become a complete memory, and there will be no more gatherings in the future. ”
"That's a pity!"
"There is no feast in the world that will never be dissolved...... So, it's a pity to hang! ”
Listening to what Liu Liu said so freely, I didn't want to feel too sorry for the factory with a literary plot, so I took the initiative to stop the topic.
When he was about to arrive at the piano shop run by Liu Liu, he stopped his motorcycle and answered a phone call. Then he said to me menacingly: "Yao Yao has a problem, I have to solve it, will you go?" ”
I came to Shanghai just to be quiet, so I didn't plan to mix, so I said to him, "I won't go...... Give me the key to the piano shop, and I'll go rest for a while. ”
"Okay." As he spoke, Liu Liu untied a key from his belt and threw it to me. I thought he was leaving, but he picked up a heavy brick from the side of the road and put it in his satchel.
That's when I realized that something was really wrong...... So, he unequivocally found an arm-long wooden stick from the side of the road, pinned it in his clothes, and shouted at Liu Liu: "Dude, come with you." ”
Liu turned his head and glanced at me, and as soon as his feet were on the ground, the motorcycle turned around and stopped beside me...... I jumped into his car......
When the car kicked up dust in the alley, I realized that life in Shanghai began with bricks and sticks!
