13. Chapter XIII
Miao Lili sat with Ye Ci for a while, and when she saw that she wanted to go out, she helped her get off the hospital bed.
Not long after the two walked out of the tent, they met Liu Rande and Yao Zhengyi.
They were still wearing gloves on their hands at this time, and when they saw Ye Ci, they immediately raised their voices to greet: "Xiao Ye, you are okay!" Thanks to you this time, now everyone in the team has gone down, and I came to say thank you to you. By the way, what about the little Taoist priest just now? β
Miao Lili listened to Yao Zhengyi's question, glanced left and right, and turned her head a little puzzled: "Yes, what about the look-alike, he was still here just now, why is he missing now."
When Ye Ci heard Miao Lili's words, he immediately spoke unhappily: "Lili, people who call cultivators should use honorific titles, and don't use market slang indiscriminately."
Miao Lili let out an "oh", bowed her head and apologized, and pouted a little embarrassedly, looking very pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Ye Ci couldn't bear to really open her mouth to reprimand.
When he turned his head and saw Yue Yun standing aside, he looked at him with a sad expression, knowing that he was still thinking about what the Taoist priest said just now.
walked over slowly and asked: "Today, thank you too, I don't know if you had a good rest last night, I want to go back to Yunzhou to see my mother later."
Yue Yun didn't speak, looked up at the pale person in front of him, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Ye Ci, do you really have a short lifespan?" β
Ye Ci didn't expect him to ask directly, he was embarrassed for a while, and replied: "Well, when I was born, a reclusive friend of my grandfather said that I won't live long in this life."
Yue Yun looked at Ye Ci's calm appearance in front of him, as if it was just an inconsequential matter, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.
She looks so calm and breezy now, how similar she is to her mother many years ago.
He remembered that his mother at that time used such a tone to tell him, she said: "Yunyun, my mother will not live long in this life, and there is only so much to walk with you, but in the future, no matter what life is like, you must continue to be a good child, okay?" β
Yue Yun forgot how he had answered at that time.
He was too young to understand too many of the worries of adults. Maybe I smiled and agreed, or maybe I didn't.
Who knows.
Time flies, and those feelings that he thought he had forgotten about are recalled without warning after he met the woman he liked.
Fate is at a loss, this is too sentimental after all.
Ning Zhiyuan received a call from the city after Ye Ci woke up, and when he saw her come out, he immediately came over and said: "Ye Ci, we have to go back to Yunzhou quickly."
Ye Ci looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, Uncle Ning, you seem to be in a hurry?" β
Ning Zhiyuan frowned and replied, "It's hard to say, something happened to your father."
When Ye Ci heard this, he immediately froze in place, then nodded heavily, turned around and followed him to the car.
The car was parked on a big road not far from Miao Lili's house.
Miao Lili sent a few people to the car, took Ye Ci's hand and shouted a little reluctantly: "Master, I'll go to the city to find you when school starts."
Ye Ci nodded in agreement and replied to her: "You have to read more books, get along with people more and be kind to others, don't lose your temper at every turn, especially Doctor Bai, he is a doctor, and he doesn't have much deep hatred with me, don't embarrass him too much." Also, those rapids in the mountains behind you, you tell your mother not to drink more, the tea scripture says, don't eat for a long time when the waterfall is turbulent, it will make people have neck disease, I think Sister Liu now has some signs of big neck disease, to drink more well water, living water."
Miao Lili listened to Ye Ci's words, and immediately nodded again and again, until the car left the village and there was no trace of it, she still stood in place, looking at the direction where the car left and waved her hand.
Thinking, my master, is really the gentlest and best master in the world-
Ye Ci didn't know what Miao Lili was thinking about herself in her heart.
As soon as she got into the car, she fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up again, Ning Zhiyuan and Yue Yun had already exchanged cars for five hours, and seeing that Yunzhou was about to arrive, he leaned over and said, "Uncle Ning, I want to go to the city to see my mother first."
Ning Zhiyuan tilted his head and agreed, and didn't say anything more, but his face began to become a little dignified.
When he arrived at the hospital, Ye Ci jumped out of the car, and he finally couldn't help but pull Ye Ci's hand and said softly: "Xiao Ye, there are some things, you have to be prepared, Uncle Ning lied to you, I hope you don't blame Uncle Ning."
Ye Ci didn't receive a call from Yin Li on the road, and he had already had doubts in his heart.
Hearing Ning Zhiyuan say this at this time, he immediately took a deep breath, nodded deeply, said "good", and walked towards the ward with heavy steps.
The ward is a single room, and the white furniture looks empty. On the white hospital bed at this moment, only Yin Li was lying there alone, wearing a huge ventilator on her mouth, and the electrocardiogram next to her was beating little by little, as if she was still alive, but only alive.
Ning Zhiyuan stood behind Ye Ci and told her in frustration: "Although the operation successfully saved a life, but."
"Vegetative".
Ye Ci took his words, choked up and asked, "So Mom, I'm in a vegetative state now, right?" β
Ning Zhiyuan heard the tremor in her voice, stepped forward and patted her on the back, and comforted her softly: "Yes, no one knows what day Senior Sister will wake up." But Xiaoye, we can wait, there will always be miracles in this world."
Ye Ci heard Ning Zhiyuan's words, and finally suddenly wet red eyes. His teeth pressed tightly against his lips, not wanting to let the crying sound.
In the end, he couldn't hold back, squatted down, buried his head between his hands, and cried out in a muffled voice.
Yue Yun stood outside the ward, looking at Ye Ci's back there, and for a while he seemed to experience the pain of his skin, and his heart was constantly entangled.
He wants to sue sΓΉ Ye porcelain, he is still here, and it is possible to do anything.
He can hire the best doctors, he can buy the best wards, he can travel all over the world to find possible prescriptions. But in the end, he sadly found that in the face of disease, in fact, everyone is equal and helpless.
He was so lost in that moment.
He looked up and wiped his face with his hand, trying to open the door and go in. I turned my head and saw a group of men in suits coming over, knocked on the door, and beckoned to the leaf porcelain inside.
Ye Ci's eyes were still red and swollen at this time. Hearing the knock on the door, he got up and walked out, took the Wen JiΓ n in the hands of those people, looked up and asked, "What is this?" β
The man in the lead turned his head to look at her, coughed lightly, and replied in a deep voice: "Hello, I am Zhou Ping, and I am a staff member of the procuratorate." Your father, Ye Jianbai, has been temporarily detained by our relevant departments because of corruption and bribery, and the amount of money is relatively large. Now, according to the "Handling of Temporary Withholding of Bribery Cases", we have decided to temporarily seize your house, car, and related property in your name, and when the case is decided, we will tell you the final result."
Ye Ci raised his head and asked in disbelief: "You mean that our family's house is going to be confiscated?" That house was given to her by my grandfather when my mother got married, and it was a house we lived in for decades! β
The man listened to her words, frowned, and replied helplessly: "We do know about the situation in your mother's family, as well as some things like your father's failure to follow the party membership program and extramarital affairs. However, rules are rules, because your parents are not divorced, and there is no direct evidence that these things are not marital property, so".
"So, my father made a mistake, but my mother and I have to bear it? Even if we never get a penny from our father, even if all his money is given to the women outside, we still have to bear it for him, right!? β
Zhou Ping looked at Ye Ci with red eyes in front of him, and it was a little difficult to speak for a while, he turned his head and was silent for a long time, and replied: "If you don't have a place to go, I can also apply to the top."
"No need."
Yue Yun interrupted Zhou Ping's words, walked up, looked at him calmly, and asked softly, "Officer Zhou, can you take a step to speak?" β
Zhou Ping glanced at him and felt that the person in front of him didn't look like a person who would come nonsense, so he didn't object, turned around and stretched out his hand to walk a few steps into the corridor on the side.
Yue Yun followed behind him and said in a deep voice: "I believe that the procuratorate will make a fair judgment." But if, as you say, these things are seized and turned over to the government, what happens to them? β
Zhou Ping thought for a while, looked up and replied: "According to the previous process, most of them will be auctioned publicly."
Yue Yun pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I know."
Zhou Ping saw that he answered simply, and kindly added: "Actually, if you can find out the specific direction of Ye Jianbai's embezzlement outside, or identify the bribery group behind him, and find direct proof to prove that these properties have nothing to do with him personally, these things are not impossible to leave behind."
Yue Yun listened to his words, nodded and thanked him, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it over and said, "It's hard work, take it for the brothers to smoke."
Zhou Ping smiled and refused, saying, "We are staff, and these are our duties." Actually, from a personal point of view, I also sympathize with Ye Jianbai's wife and his daughter. My mother is also a professor at Yunnan University, and she told me that Professor Yin is a very nice person."
Ye Ci walked up, heard such a compliment in vain, and suddenly laughed.
yes, mom is a nice person, it seems that everyone says that.
But so what, she was lying here now, unconscious, without a future. And her daughter, and even what her father left behind, will be wiped out because of her husband's fault.
She thought, what is the meaning of such a compliment?
Ning Zhiyuan walked over, patted her shoulder, and comforted: "Xiao Ye, don't be sad, there is still me."
Ye Ci stood in place, looking at the blue and cloudless sky outside the corridor window, shook his head and replied, "Uncle Ning, after this time, I seem to have suddenly figured out something. Before, I hoped to keep our family as a daughter, but now I know that a woman should never wait for sympathy from others. Even though I only lived to be thirty years old, I still had my mom and my grandmother. So that my mother can wake up one day and see me, so that my grandmother can live in Qingshan with peace of mind. I think there's something I have to fight for. Uncle Ning, can you accompany me to see my dad tomorrow?"
Ning Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, "Okay."
