Chapter 36: Discharge
When Qiao Bei lay in the public security hospital for more than a month, the clinical Ling Shan was discharged.
Since the last time Qiao Bei was angry at Ling Shan, for more than a month, the two people in the same ward did not say a word.
It was Qiao Bei who didn't say a word.
For more than a month, Qiao Bei was lying on the hospital bed like a mummy, except for the nurses in the hospital who pushed him out to change dressings every day, he didn't even move, just lay straight and straight, looking at the ceiling.
One look is half a day, one look is half a day.
About half a month after Li Guohua's death, Kuang Wenbin and Ren Zhiguo, the director of the Laojie Police Station, came to the hospital once. Kuang Wenbin told Qiao Bei that the wanted warrant on his body had been lifted, and since then he has regained his freedom, just like a normal person, he can do whatever he wants.
Ren Zhiguo handed over Qiao Bei two bank cards, and the cards were two pensions. The sum belonged to Qiao Bei's parents, and it had been kept by Li Guohua before.
One sum is Li Guohua's, before the last mission, Li Guohua specially explained that if he sacrificed, all the pensions would be left to Qiao Bei.
Kuang Wenbin opened his mouth to say something to Qiao Bei, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ren Zhiguo took Qiao Bei's hand affectionately and told Qiao Bei that if you live well in the future, the police station will be your home, and all the police officers at the police station will be your family.
Qiao Bei didn't respond to a word, didn't cry, and didn't shed a single tear.
Before that, he had shed all his tears.
In the past month or so, Ling Shan has also been careful not to provoke Qiao Bei, and occasionally wants to give Qiao Bei a little bit of the delicious food secretly sent by Ouyang Kai, but Qiao Bei didn't even look at it.
The two people in the same ward were getting along so awkwardly, the previous mutual ridicule and squeeze were gone, and Ling Shan tried her best to avoid touching the deepest pain in Qiao Bei's heart.
Days like this lasted until Ling Shan's father came to pick her up and discharge her from the hospital.
"Girl."
A middle-aged man pushed open the door, followed by Ouyang Kai.
"Dad? What are you doing here? Ling Shan jumped out of bed as soon as she saw the middle-aged man, and she was so happy that she didn't even wear shoes, so she pounced on the middle-aged man.
"Heh, the first goddess of the ancient city criminal police team was discharged from the hospital after recovering from her injuries, do you dare not line up to greet her?" The middle-aged man laughed.
"Cut, I'm a front-line female criminal police officer in our team, and I'm the first in every rank." Ling Shan has long been accustomed to this kind of roundabout run by middle-aged men.
The middle-aged man hugged Ling Shan deeply, pushed her away again, looked left and right, and asked, "Girl, is the injury good?" ”
"It's been a long time coming, don't you believe it's going back and we're going to have a high and low on the shooting range?"
"Then it must be my girl who wins, how can I compare to the goddess detective as an old man?" The middle-aged man laughed.
"Dad, just make fun of me, one day, I will win against you!"
"Haha~ This series of cases, girl, you didn't embarrass your father, and your father wants to praise you."
"Hey, hey, it's a shame to get a verbal praise from the deputy director of the dignified H Provincial Public Security Department."
"Silly girl."
Qiao Bei didn't know that this middle-aged man with a smile was none other than Ling Guofeng, the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, the old policeman who was furious in the conference hall.
At this moment, in front of his daughter, Ling Guofeng scolded with a 'hehe' smile, and shouted at Ling Shan: "Hurry up and pack your things, let's go home." ”
"Home? What do you do back home? I'm going to report to the team. ”
Ling Shan pouted, a little unhappy, but still went to pack her things.
"Your mother is dying at home, don't you want to go home and let your mother count down? Besides, if I stay in the ancient city for a day, the people below will report to me endlessly...... My baby girl is discharged from the hospital, won't my old man give himself a day off? ”
"Huh? My mom knows, huh? Ling Shan turned her head to look at Ouyang Kai, who was helping to clean up her things, and shouted, "Say, is it your secret?" ”
"How dare I? You told me that you were not allowed to tell my aunt about your injury, how could I say that? Ouyang Kai hurriedly explained.
"Don't wronged Kaikai, I told your mother, you haven't called home for almost two months, don't you think your mother will be in a hurry?" Ling Guofeng said with a smile.
"I know, some people have revealed the essence of strict wife control again!" Ling Shan deliberately accentuated her tone when she said the three words "wife is strict".
"You girl, don't be ignorant."
"Of course, Dad, I'll always be on the same front as you!" Ling Shan immediately changed her strategy.
"Clever ghosts." Ling Guofeng scolded with a smile.
Ling Shan neatly packed up her things, took the tablet in her hand, and turned it to Qiao Bei. Ling Shan didn't speak for more than a month in the same ward, which made Ling Shan a little embarrassed, but she still said to Qiao Bei sincerely:
“…… I'm going to go this time, I'm definitely going to get busy, and I can't use the tablet, or you can play it first, there are a lot of TV series and stand-alone games that I asked others to download for me...... What, in addition to Korean dramas, I also specially asked people to download a series of military TV series in the past two days, including the "I Am Special Forces" series, "Band of Brothers" series, and "Expendables" series...... It's all what boys like to watch...... ”
Qiao Bei didn't speak, Ling Shan's coquettish and funny behavior in front of his father just now made Qiao Bei's heart deeply touched in his eyes, and there was a trace of envy and jealousy.
Ling Shan saw that Qiao Bei didn't react, and couldn't help but stuff the tablet next to Qiao Bei's pillow.
"Let's go, Shanshan, the car is waiting outside." Ouyang Kai carried Ling Shan's things and shouted at Ling Shan.
"What are you...... That...... I'm sorry......" Ling Shan followed to go out, and when she came to the door, she turned around again, looked at Qiao Bei, who was unresponsive on the hospital bed, and said sincerely.
Qiao Bei looked at Ling Shan and didn't respond to a word, just took the tablet next to the pillow and put it on his chest, and gently tapped the tablet with his fingers, which was considered a response.
Ling Guofeng took in all this, but said nothing.
What should parents take care of when children's affairs? Even if you want to manage it, can you manage it? What's more, the eyes of this girl are higher than the top, and ordinary people can't enter this girl's eyes at all, so what are you worried about?
As soon as Ling Shan left, Qiao Bei was completely left alone in the ward, and except for the occasional nurse who came in to make rounds, no one walked into this ward.
In this city, Qiao Bei no longer has a relative.
-
After more than a month, Qiao Bei also decided to be discharged from the hospital.
Staying in the public security hospital for nearly three months, Qiao Bei's life in the first month was interspersed with all kinds of thrills, the second month was spent in grief, and the third month, Qiao Bei spent the third month in various stand-alone games and TV series in the tablet left by Ling Shan.
Now, Qiao Bei is tired of this kind of lying in bed and waiting for death, and he decides to be discharged from the hospital.
This is the result of Qiao Bei's deep thinking after watching the TV series in the tablet left by Ling Shan. During his time in the hospital, he had time to think about his life and his ideals.
Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault" said that people have to do meaningful things.
To live well is to be meaningful.
So, let's live well.
After deciding on it, Qiao Bei ignored the doctor's advice and stubbornly wanted to be discharged.
Although, the injuries on his body are not completely healed.
Although, Qiao Bei still doesn't know what he is going to do after he is discharged from the hospital.
But he has decided that he wants to live well, to live more meaningfully than anyone else!
That's enough.
Qiao Bei simply packed his bags.
In fact, there is nothing to clean up, in the hospital, Qiao Bei wears the hospital gown of the public security hospital every day, except for the leather jacket that Li Guohua bought for himself, and the clothes he originally wore, as well as the tablet computer that Ling Shan left for himself, he didn't even have anything.
Carrying a plastic bag of drugs from a public security hospital, Qiao Bei walked out of the public security hospital alone.
It's already June, and the ancient city is gradually enveloped in a hot and dry wind of summer.
Standing on the steps, the sun was extremely dazzling, but Qiao Bei felt warm and comfortable. He closed his eyes and breathed greedily at a taste that permeated the air.
The taste of rebirth.
After taking a taxi, Qiao Bei first went to the vegetable market in Laojie to buy some vegetables. Qiao Bei knew that the things in the refrigerator at home had not been touched for three months, and he must not be able to eat them.
Although the hospital refunded more than 1,000 yuan when he was discharged from the hospital, Qiao Bei was still stingy with only five yuan of meat, a fish, and a little ordinary vegetables, which is a habit that has been cultivated over the years, how can it be easily changed for a while?
Walking into the familiar alley, Qiao Bei has a feeling of being in a different world.
The closer he got to his door, the more indescribable the taste in Qiao Bei's heart became.
But seeing the iron door of his house wide open and the lock hanging on the knocker, Qiao Bei's heart immediately spawned a wave of anger.
"Damn, I've only been away for three months, why do you dare to steal to the master's house?" Qiao Bei scolded, picked up a brick in the corner of the wall, and rushed directly into the yard.
After seeing the scene in the house, Qiao Bei was stunned on the spot.
Qiao Bei's home is a standard three-room small bungalow in the north, and there are two low houses against the wall in the courtyard, which are used as bathrooms and kitchens.
In the corner of the courtyard is a pool, next to a large water tank, there is a shortage of water in the north, this kind of water tank is available in every household. Against the wall is a row of green plants, which were planted by Qiao Bei himself, but they have not been cared for for a long time, and the flowers and trees are dying.
Inside the three small bungalows is the master bedroom, where my parents used to live. Qiao Bei cleaned up, wiped down the tables, chairs, and bedboards from time to time, even though he didn't come back for more than three months, the house still looked very tidy.
On the outside is Qiao Bei's room, a bed, a wardrobe, and a computer desk.
There is also a row of small bookshelves next to the computer desk, which are full of Qiao Bei's textbooks and accumulated books from childhood to adulthood, Qiao Bei is not willing to throw any of them, especially the comic books and extracurricular books that his parents used to buy for him, Qiao Bei is even more treasured.
In the middle is a living room that doubles as a dining room. Two wooden sofas, a coffee table. The old fridge was not far from the TV stand. In the middle of the living room, there is a dining table and four or five wooden chairs.
These furnishings in the house can be seen in the most ordinary homes in the north.
The difference is that at this moment, in the living room of Qiao Bei's house, a girl is diligently wiping the dining table, placing the things in the bag she brought on the table one by one, looking at the chair next to the table with disgust from time to time, and then turning back to find a rag and wipe it.
Qiao Beimu stood in the courtyard, looking at everything in the living room, still holding the brick in his hand.
