I took one last look at Ji Rongke, followed the nurse into the sterile ward next to me, she handed me a set of light blue work clothes made of plastic sheeting, I took off my coat, she sprayed disinfectant on me, I put on the sterile gown and put on a mask, she took me around a medical gate where outsiders stopped, shuttled into a dark corridor without lights, and finally stopped in front of a room, there are many intensive care units here, this is the closest one to the infirmary, I heard the sound of equipment ticking inside through the door, She opened the door, sideways me in, and told me there wasn't much time, no more than five minutes.

I thanked her, and as I entered the room, she closed the door from the outside.

I don't know if it was because there were no windows, but the light was extremely dim, and there was a dim wall lamp embedded in the corner, giving off a lingering faint light.

As far as the eye could see, there were monitoring facilities, many of which I had never seen before, huge and small, lying upright and placed in various corners, with a narrow tube above the head diagonally opposite the foot of the bed, which was an ultraviolet germicidal lamp, but it was not turned on, and occasionally a red light flashed at the switch button.

I walked towards the hospital bed, my feet were trembling, as if I would fall to the ground and never get up again, and when I saw through a blur of fog He Qu lying on it with my eyes closed and motionless, the tears that had not been rolling down all night suddenly burst out of my eyes, soaking the cotton mask that covered half of my face.

He was lying on the bed naked, his back and waist were full of colorful tubes, slamming on the skin, there were two black ones that were almost completely introduced into the wound, after the bullet peeled out, his skin and flesh did not heal, and he turned hideously, through the erosive flesh and blood, I had never seen such a soft wound, I looked at such a miserable blood pit, imagining the pain of the bullet penetrating his back fiercely, and it was two piercing at the same time, the heaviness and guilt in my heart were incomprehensible.

His tall and muscular body was now like a thin piece of paper in my eyes, the right side of his face was pressed against the pillow, the left side of his face was exposed to the dim light, his face was whiter than the sheets, and his thin lips were bruised, all like a fire and a sharp knife pierced my heart.

I squatted down on the side of the bed, the endless tears had filled my vision, I could only see his outline, but I couldn't make out his blurred features, I wanted to reach out and hug him, even if it was just a very gentle one, with my body temperature and my breath to give him a trace of warmth and strength, but I really didn't dare to touch it, I was afraid that he would be broken by me, he could barely see any undulating back, and his breathing was gone.

I opened my mouth wide and cried, the more I tried to suppress the sound, the more involuntarily, he seemed to move faintly, I heard a mutter, my crying immediately stopped abruptly, I stared at him on the bed with wide eyes, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but he didn't wake up, and fell asleep in such a huge pain.

I called his name, I was so close that I could almost see his trembling eyelashes and pores covered with cold sweat, and I called out to He Qu. I don't know how many times I shouted, until my voice was hoarse, until the nurse pushed the door open for the third time to urge me, he still didn't wake up, his fingers curled up on the side of the bed, pale enough to see the veins.

I went out of the intensive care unit, took off my clothes and returned to the corridor of the operating room, the He family was sitting on a chair and waiting for me, He Run saw me come out, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed my hand to ask about He Qu's situation, my throat was still choked with a sour ball, I didn't dare to open my mouth, I was afraid that I would cry, He Qu's embarrassed and haggard appearance lingered in my mind, I lowered my head and shook it, she didn't know what was going on, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, she shouted Rong Ke in a panic, Ji Rongke threw away the disposable water cup he was holding and walked towards her, He hugged He Run's waist, and listened to her trembling and saying a bunch of inaudible words, he smiled helplessly, "The doctor has already said that he is out of danger, you don't have to worry." ”

He Run glanced at me, "But Miss Feng..."

I bit my lip and cut the grief that crushed me from my body, Ji Rongke explained for me, "He Qu was hit by two bullets in the back, the wound must be very serious after the operation, she is a woman, she will be scared when she sees it, if you go in, you may not be able to walk." ”

After he finished speaking, he kissed her on the forehead, He Run raised his head and asked him if this was the case, he said of course, she nodded, "Rong Ke, I want to stay with my brother." ”

Before Ji Rongke could say anything, Mrs. He suddenly said to He Run, "What are you staying for, if Rong Ke hadn't rescued you as soon as possible, maybe you would be the one lying on the bed." He Qu didn't even mention your father, not to mention you who are separated by eight poles, what are you doing in a hurry, in case he wakes up and sees you and faints again, your father will settle accounts with you. ”

I don't know what kind of verbal dispute happened between He Guici and Mrs. He during the time I went in, she spoke in a very strange tone, and seemed to be a little angry, He Guici glanced at her, and didn't say anything, Mrs. He pulled He Run out of Ji Rongke's arms, and walked a few steps towards the door, she told the bodyguard to go out and drive, the bodyguard took the lead to go out, He Run turned around and wanted to pull Ji Rongke, but was pushed by Mrs. He's backhand, "Go home and rest, do you see that your eyes are still open?" It has nothing to do with you here. ”

He Run pursed his lips and said nothing, He Guici got up from the chair, he ignored Mrs. He, and walked directly past her on crutches to He Run's side, he said in a deep voice, "I'll go back with you." Liurong Ke and Miss Feng are in the hospital, and when your brother wakes up, we will come back again. ”

When He Run heard that she wanted to keep Ji Rongke with me, her face turned pale, of course she didn't allow us to spend time alone, no matter how naïve she was, she always had the mind to defend her husband and marriage, she turned around and looked at Ji Rongke a little anxiously, "However, I won't be able to sleep without Rong Ke with me." ”

He Guici frowned, he didn't worry about leaving me alone in the hospital to take care of He Qu, he had a very bad impression of me, he saw me as a fox spirit who harmed his son, and would take the opportunity to suck his essence and blood at any time, he was hesitating whether to stay in person, Mrs. He suddenly sneered next to him and said, "Tomorrow is the death day of the mother of Guici, this is the reason why you want to go back, right." You value He Qu so much, how can you not be in the hospital to wake him up, unless there is something more important to worry about you and make you unable to let go. Returning to the shrine, I have lived with you for nearly thirty years, so many days and nights, I thought I knew you, and there was no more intimate relationship than the person next to the pillow, but when we came to this age, what did you hide from me. ”

"I hid it from you."

He Guici suddenly sneered, "Did I hide it from you, for He Qu's mother, you said I hid it from you?" ”

Mrs. He's face changed, she had never had such a panicked and pale face, her body shook violently, but then she forcibly regained her composure, her violently undulating chest and suddenly bulging collarbones exposed her magnificent heart at this time, "I don't understand." She has a thin life herself, and she is not blessed to lose her husband's prestige and wealth, and if I take her place, will I not be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life to bear the cause and effect of her thin life? ”

He Guici lowered his cloudy and old eyes, he stared at the head of the cane, and suddenly laughed out loud with sadness, "Purong, Purong, ignoring it doesn't mean being ignorant." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his back to Mrs. He, as if he didn't want to look at her anymore, his eyes were empty and drifting at the reflective tiles on the ground somewhere, He Run subconsciously took a half step back, she was next to Ji Rongke, she was very frightened and dazed at this time, how could her parents, who had always respected each other in front of her like Bing'en and loving people, suddenly tear this face and exposed so many things that she never knew so thoroughly.

The jealous face, sharp words,-for-tat momentum, and unyielding gaze all made her feel overwhelmed.

It was impossible for Ji Rongke not to understand the entanglement of the He family, out of protection for He Run, and he didn't want her to hear more, he gently hugged her shoulders and whispered above her head, "Let's go out first, you are sleepy and get in the car and sleep for a while." ”

He Run had lost the ability to think, she followed Ji Rongke out of the gate like a ghost, and sat in the dark green military vehicle that had been waiting for a long time, He Guici glanced out the window, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go back and talk." ”

Mrs. He's fingers clashed at the wall, her momentum weakened slightly, "What are you talking about?" ”

He Guici turned his head to look at her, and the shrewd and cold light that burst out of his gaze made the latter's body tremble suddenly, "What do you say?" ”

He walked out of the door and walked into the deepest night outside, Mrs. He stared at his back, her body finally couldn't support it, and stumbled hard against the wall, I instinctively rushed over to help her, although she was healthy, but if she fell to the ground, she would definitely hurt her hips, after all, she was sixty years old, but she didn't appreciate it, she stabilized herself and shook my arm holding her, her graceful and luxurious face even at the moment when it was almost all the jade was burned, she still did not remove her arrogance, She straightened up, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, "Tell He Qu that her mother won." Isn't it ironic that a dead man has won again after so many years? ”

I don't quite understand what she's talking about, but I can guess that her union with He Guici is about not so glorious, she used means and stratagems to snatch him from He Qu's mother, and at that time He Qu's mother was seriously ill, it was her strength and ferocity that made He Qu's mother lose the qualification to be accompanied by her husband in the last years, that is a noble woman with a generous heart and a real temperament, she did not hate this woman who plundered her family and broke her marriage and broke her love, she told He Qu to tolerate forgetting, But this old feud can never be resolved in He Qu's heart.

The world is impermanent.

I stared at the He Gui Temple sitting in the car, looking at the white light from the street lamp, "Men will not be ignorant for a lifetime, let alone deceive themselves and blind themselves in the love that women have ulterior motives." The moment he opened his eyes and wanted to wake up, no one could stop him. ”

Mrs. He ignored me, she was silent next to me for a moment, and then pushed the door open and walked out. I watched the two military vehicles slowly drive into the street, and finally disappeared into the neon intersection, I knew that the He family would have a sleepless night tonight, and I would have a sleepless night too.

He Qu's intensive care unit, facing a nurse's station, no walls, there is a single-lens reflex glass, I rested in this nurse's station for a night, He Qu always lay on the bed, his back wound suddenly oozes blood several times in the morning, and it is very fierce, the nurse stopped him bleeding after several first aids, but inevitably there is a slight infection.

After three days, I did not leave the hospital, He Qu transferred to the general ward, I sat next to him to guard, occasionally when his expression was not so painful, take a hot towel to wipe his body, feed him water and medicine, he was groggy several times, as if he was awake, I don't know if he heard me talking to him, but I lay on the side of the bed and napped, always felt that my hand was held, very light.

He Yichi sent me a change of clothes in the evening of the third day, no one from the He family came, including He Run, who had been very worried about He Qu, as if he had evaporated out of thin air, I asked He Yichi if there was any news, his secretive face didn't seem to know too much, only told me that the He family was in chaos, the old accounts were turned over thoroughly, and the lights had not been turned off for two nights, and Brother Rong had slept tonight He Run would take the time to come and see me.

I stared at He Qu lying flat on the bed, his feet were fixed and hung at the end of the bed to prevent the wound from being scraped by the heavy pressure on the bed on his back, and I said to He Yichi, "Is he thin?" ”

He Yichi frowned, "Who." ”

"Ji Rongke."

When He Yichi heard me take the initiative to mention him, he immediately said, "Whether it is the affairs of the He family or other things, they can't hit Brother Rong, in his eyes, these have nothing to do with him, only Miss Feng's thoughts, whether to stay or leave, is the only thing that destroys Brother Rong's will." Everyone has their own emotional world, and when the person who is regarded as the most important person in this world suddenly has the choice that she fears the most, Miss Feng thinks that it will be a scene of collapse. ”

I suddenly felt funny, and I looked up at He Yichi, "You understand it so well." ”

He was stunned, "I don't know much, I just learned something from Brother Rong and Miss Feng, I originally wanted to wait for everything to settle down and find a woman to start a family and have children, but now I think it's better to forget it, I may not be able to promise her anything, just like Brother Rong, I can't bear to trap you while not willing to give up, and I can only torture myself." ”
