The third time
As night gradually came, Mei Ying decided not to think about anything, to sleep well, and only tomorrow would she have the energy to lie on the meat board and wait for the butcher's knife to be slaughtered.
The night was a deep sleep, not even a dream, as if everything had been settled, and she could easily go on the road to pursue the love she had never gotten before.
"Shadow, get up." I don't know when Sister Dan is already standing by her bedside.
"Sister, how did you get in? What about them? Mei Ying looked at Sister Dan with sleepy eyes.
"I set the alarm clock forward and waited at the top of the stairs for a while, and as soon as I saw them open the door, I slipped in, hurry up, go early, go early, and have to queue up if you go late."
After washing, Sister Dan carried her packed bag, and the two of them trotted all the way, and they came to the school gate after a while. It is worthy of being a tourist attraction, there are many shuttle buses to the county seat, and it is bustling early in the morning. It didn't take long to arrive at the hospital, and Mei Ying went straight to the diagnosis room. The door was closed, and it looked like the doctor hadn't come to work yet. This is the only hospital in the county, and the obstetrics and gynecology clinic is here, there is no choice, she can only obediently wait for that expressionless face.
In the early morning in the mountains, even in spring, there is still a cold wind and dew, and the coolness has not diminished, so Sister Dan took a coat and put it on her.
"Shadow, let's have some breakfast, I see that there are breakfast sellers outside the hospital." Sister Dan always cares about her diet.
"Don't eat it, sister. The doctor said yesterday that he couldn't eat breakfast, so he might have to do some tests. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I might ask you to sign it for a while, so you just pretend to be my sister. ”
"Well, okay. Then you have to fight for it, don't cry on the operating table, when you get well, let's climb the golden top, I haven't climbed it once after staying for so long, and you won't leave the Qingyin Pavilion until you went to climb the mountain last time. ”
"You still say that I, you're not panting yet, aren't the two of us too fat, we still have to lose some weight in the future."
"I don't care if I want to lose you, anyway, our family Bin Bin doesn't dislike me, don't you claim to be a swan girl, you have to lose weight to fly."
"Well, it's all a dream, I'm just an ugly duckling struggling in the mud, and Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are all lies."
"Shadow, don't be unconfident in yourself, you still have a few months to turn nineteen, who can predict the future path, maybe one day you will really become a swan, hehe."
Sister Dan always encourages her, and Mei Ying has also felt that she has the qualifications to be a swan countless times.
"Here we go." As she spoke, the expressionless female doctor from yesterday opened the door to the consultation room.
"Come in, go get a urine check, a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and come to me with a lab test sheet later." still has that unsmiling expression, without raising his head, he writes while talking, brushing and brushing, and throws a lot of "heavenly books" to Mei Ying.
"Doctor, didn't you check it all yesterday, why do you want to check it again, can you operate on me today, I can't wait any longer." She felt that this hospital was too tricky, and she had to pay again for repeated examinations.
"If you are told to go and check, why are you talking so much, and you still don't have surgery?" The doctor was getting a little impatient.
"Shadow, let's go, don't fight with the doctor, maybe I'll cut you something down when you go to the operating table in a while." Sister Dan whispered in her ear.
Go upstairs and downstairs, do all kinds of inspections, queue up, check out, wait for the list, repeat yesterday's events over and over again, it's almost noon, and everything is finally in order.
"Lie on the bed, give you an induced labor injection, ask the family to come in and sign it, pay the money, and then go to the inpatient department next to it to get the things and wait." Finally waited for this moment, although the doctor still had the same ice cube face, Mei Ying was still relieved.
Is this to kill someone? The needle and needle resembled the bottle and straw she usually drank from, and it was several times larger than the needle and needle in her impression. She was a little blind, she didn't dare to question the doctor anymore, and obediently took off her clothes and lay on the bed in the consultation room.
The doctor skillfully looked at her lamb to the slaughter, touching, knocking, probably looking for a suitable place to start, and finally wiped something on her stomach, picked up the thick needle and pricked her stomach.
Mei Ying closed her eyes in panic, not knowing what happened next, and woke up on a hospital bed in the inpatient department.
"Shadow, you're awake, why did you faint, you're afraid of injections?"
"Am I dizzy? I can't remember, Sister Dan, that needle is so terrible, I've never seen such a thick needle. Mei Ying said with palpitations.
"Shadow, now you can sleep in peace, the doctor said that it will not be possible to have a seizure until early in the morning, I will go back to school first to get a quilt, and I will guard you at night, and bring dinner by the way."
"Sister Dan, how much did you pay? We'll leave after the surgery, and it's money to stay for an extra day, okay? Mei Ying looked at Sister Dan apologetically.
"It's okay, the money paid is enough for three days, and then I'll think about it when it's over. You live alone in this ward, I can still sleep on the bed next to me at night, what do you want to do, it's not too late to talk about it after the operation, I'm leaving, I'm too late I'm afraid that there will be no car when I come. ”
Looking at Sister Dan's distant back, she felt that this love would not be paid off for the rest of her life.
The corridor of the hospital was noisy, this one was calling the doctor, the other was calling the nurse, Mei Ying covered her head with a quilt, but she still couldn't stop the upsetting sounds one after another. The smell of the hospital is always very choking, the disinfectant is everywhere, the paint on the walls of the ward has fallen very little, the walls are old and mottled, as if they have gone through countless years of washing, and now only the ruins are left, and it feels very gloomy, there is a musty smell and a bloody smell coming, as if this was once an ancient battlefield, except for wailing, it is death after wailing, and the ground is full of bloody stumps and broken arms. In Mei Ying's consciousness, the hospital is hell on earth, and the doctor is the impermanence of life.
For the first time in my life, I slept on a hospital bed, and my mind was still a little confused, so I fell asleep while lying down. She was awakened by a commotion, like the sound of a hospital cafeteria employee pushing a cart to sell food. Unable to rest, he sat up from the hospital bed, opened the curtains, and squinted out the window at the sky.
Dusk seems to have come a little earlier, the sky is very dark, and there is a roaring thunder in the distance, it seems that there must be a thunderstorm tonight. Spring thunder is an inevitable product of spring, and without it, the whole spring seems too calm and too monotonous. The days of April are sometimes clear and sometimes dull, just like the opportunities of life, the carefree of youth is so short, and the troubles on the road to growth are always superimposed. In the morning, the sky was still clear and high, but now it was muddy, and every now and then there was a little thunder and lightning to shake the silent valley, as if God did not want to be too dull, more or less to inject a trace of restlessness into the world, to bring a little panic to people.
