Volume 8: Reflection of the Waves 9. The Night of the Phoenix (I)
No trip will be smooth sailing, and on the other hand, a journey without an interlude is monotonous.
After Renault entered Xiangxi, the climate became weird; Sometimes it was rainy and sometimes foggy, and after driving down the highway from Jishou, the flickering snowflakes fell, and the road to Phoenix City was shrouded in a blurry snow world.
If it's just snow, the car will drive slowly; Renault turned the last mountain pass, and the lights of Phoenix beckoned guests not far away, but the road was blocked, and a car accident blocked the road.
One is a black official car, and the other is a common minibus in Xiangxi, the kind converted from a truck, only covered with tarpaulin, leaking everywhere, and the people who sit in this kind of car are some locals and Miao people who have no money.
Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, many wanderers who have returned from afar, catching the last bus home for the Spring Festival, the minibus is overloaded, and the front and back are crowded with people.
The cause of the car accident is clear at a glance, and on snowy days, the driver of the official car drives more steadily; The minibus was also downhill, the speed was fast and the brakes were too late, and in order to avoid a pair of Miao father and son with a basket on their backs, they hit the tail of the official car.
The minibus was lying across the road, and the two people in the car were thrown out, and the injuries appeared to be quite serious.
Zhu Tong stopped the car, he didn't want to care about such a nossy matter, but Ye Er ran down to check on the injured first, and only followed.
"Don't be afraid, where is the injury? The doctor will be there shortly. β
Doctor, everyone knows who Ye'er is talking about, Zhu Tong smiled bitterly in his heart, and asked his professional liar amateur doctor to come forward again; But Ye Er was soft-hearted, and he didn't say much, so he rolled up his sleeves and examined the injured.
Fortunately, the car accident had just happened, and the two injured fell into the snow, one was a shoulder dislocation, although it was painful but easy to treat; After Zhu Tong put his joint back in place, he began to face another wounded man with a headache.
This is a thinly dressed teenager, his face is pale and the corners of his mouth are oozing blood, his pulse is weak, his breathing has stopped, and he is already in shock.
A fracture in the right upper arm is fine, but a rib fracture is fatal, and one of the lungs should have been injured.
Zhu Tong took out a silver needle to seal several acupuncture points on his chest, and then carefully pressed his heart with internal breath; He passed out in intense pain, causing cardiac arrest.
"Ahem! Ahem......"
The boy's heart began to beat, and there was a "hissing" murmur in his chest; Zhu Tong breathed a sigh of relief: finally there was no danger to his life, but he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Looking at the teenager's outdated clothes, the next huge medical expenses should be unaffordable; It should be difficult for the driver of the minibus to come up with such a large sum of money at once.
The snow still hasn't stopped, and the poetry in the eyes of tourists falls on the boy is the shiver of cold; Ye Er took out his coat from the car and put it on the young man, and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with a tissue; Mei Lanting also walked over and brought the juice bottle in his hand close to the young man's mouth.
Zhu Tong saw that Mei Lanting put a small pill into the young man's mouth. Looking up and smiling at her, Mei Lanting's pill must be a good thing.
Over there, the minibus driver was being reprimanded by the driver of the official car; In fact, there was no major damage to both cars, the bumper of the official car was broken, and the headlight of the minibus was broken.
The driver also seems to be very honest, and will only say: "You can't hit people, I'll pay you for the bumper, okay?" β
"How's the people? Is there a danger to life? Zhu Tong raised his head and saw a face that was not unfamiliar.
"It's not dangerous for the time being, but he needs immediate surgery."
"Dr. Li, is his injury serious, can the hospital in Phoenix perform such an operation?" The other party also recognized him, smiled and nodded: "Hello, where do you not meet in life, I didn't expect to meet again." β
Zhu Tong stood up, no wonder he heard the familiar voice, two months ago, in the Tianwang Temple in Phoenix City, he had calculated the hexagram for this graceful middle-aged man, his surname was Wang.
"Hello." Zhu Tong stood up, held the hand stretched out by the middle-aged man, and said worriedly: "He needs a professional thoracic surgeon to operate, and at this time, I am afraid that the doctors will go home for the New Year." β
"Can hospitals in Phoenix or can't? Is it possible to have a hospital in Jishou? β
Now the discussion is about human life, and the middle-aged man's words show a bit of majesty, and I can feel that he is a very powerful person; Zhu Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "It's best to go to Jishou, the hospital there should be able to do such an operation." β
"Thank you." The middle-aged man clasped Zhu Tong's hand, let go, and turned around: "Contact me immediately, let them prepare for surgery immediately." β
The young man standing behind the middle-aged man took out his mobile phone, did not have a polite attitude after dialing the number, and spoke to the other side while asking about the situation of the injured person in Zhutong, put away the mobile phone two minutes later, and said to the middle-aged man: "Secretary Yuan is contacting the hospital, and the operation can be performed in an hour." β
"You follow him to the hospital in a moment; It's time for the New Year, so don't have any accidents. β
"Yes, but the chief ......"
The middle-aged man frowned, and the young man covered his mouth with a shy smile.
"Anyway, his injury has something to do with us, go and tell the driver, stop arguing, move the car away; Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, let everyone go home early for the New Year, there is only one Spring Festival a year. β
The young man turned around to persuade him, and the middle-aged man turned to face Zhu Tong again: "Doctor Li, can I know your name?" β
Zhu Tong took out a business card and handed it over with both hands. Those who can be called chiefs are officials of a considerable rank; Zhu Tong was very curious about his identity, and he handed over the business card without saying his name, which was a silent request. In general, the other party should also return a business card.
Ocean Hospital, Shanghai; Dr. Li, it seems that we are really destined, and I am also from Shanghai. β
The middle-aged man really took out a business card and handed it over, Zhu Tong glanced at it through the light and was surprised.
There are only three words on the business card: Wang Xiangzhen.
The following title is, Huayi Foundation Advisor.
He is the visitor from Beijing who has always been trying to see if he knows, the husband of head nurse Xia, and the leader of the mysterious financial working group.
"Mr. Wang, are you also in Shanghai?"
"yes, didn't you suggest I go to Shanghai?" Wang Xiangzhen said half-jokingly, looking back at the lights of Phoenix; "Two months ago, right here, Dr. Li did a hexagram for me; I followed your advice before I came to Shanghai. β
Ye Er stood up and grabbed Zhu Tong's arm: "You still know how to tell hexagrams?" β
Zhu Tong smiled bitterly: "I'm talking nonsense, Mr. Wang won't take it seriously, right?" β
"Who is this?" The middle-aged man saw Ye Er and asked with a smile.
"She is my girlfriend, and she will come to Phoenix for the New Year."
"My name is Su Ye." Ye Er generously stretched out her hand.
"Good, good, the golden boy and girl are just right; Miss Su, your boyfriend is a capable person, you must take care of it. The last time he gave me a dog skin plaster, it worked. Wang Xiangzhen took a step back and carefully admired Zhu Tong and Ye'er standing side by side; Dr. Li, I still owe you a penny, will it be repaid this time? β
"I don't know." Zhu Tong knew that what Wang Xiangzhen said about repaying the debt was talking about a teenager in the snow, and he should be able to bear all the expenses of the teenager; However, the little liar will not give up the favor of the big man so easily, and said with a smile: "The car accident has nothing to do with me, and he has nothing to do with me." β
"Yes, it seems that Dr. Li has made it his intention to make me owe you a penny; Oh, good, good, owed. β
"A penny?" Ye Er looked at Zhu Tong strangely, and then at Wang Xiangzhen; A penny is too small a number.
"It's a penny, Miss Su, Dr. Li gave me five words: peacock flying southeast; Hexagram money is a penny. For the sake of these five words worth a penny, I went to Shanghai. β
Wang Xiangzhen was talking, Zhu Tong was embarrassed to answer, squatted down and grabbed the young man's right arm, and used techniques to reset his broken arm bone; Paste a dog skin plaster and break off four branches from the side of the road and tie them up. Peacocks flying southeast? Wang Xiangzhen is really good at laughing, and his casual words can affect his future, and the little liar doesn't believe it.
"Don't move here anymore, you can heal after two weeks." This passage was said by Zhu Tong to Wang Xiangzhen's entourage.
After being mixed in the Ocean Hospital for a while, Zhu Tong knew the level of those doctors now, and such injuries would have to be driven and nailed in the hospital, and the young man's right hand could not withstand such a toss.
The road ahead had been cleared and the minibus driver drove away.
Zhu Tong leaned into Ye'er's ear and whispered a few times, she sighed, turned around and kissed her lover's face, ran back to the car and took out two thousand yuan and stuffed it into the boy's pocket.
"You're so kind." Xiao Xiao walked down with Yin Yang in his arms, and immediately retracted as soon as the cold wind blew.
An ambulance came from the direction of Phoenix, pulled the injured man and drove towards Jishou, and Wang Xiangzhen's young entourage followed.
The driver of the official car turned the car upside down, and the female secretary Zhu Tong saw last time opened the car door for Wang Xiangzhen.
"Where do you live? The Spring Festival in Phoenix is very famous, and many people come here for the New Year, but they are afraid that they will not find a place to live if they come late. Wang asked with concern before getting into the car.
Ye Er smiled sweetly: "Uncle Chen left us a room." β
"Uncle Chen." Wang Xiangzhen muttered a sentence to Zhu Tong: "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and I will go to the Tianwang Temple to offer incense; Doctor Li Xiang, will you go? β
"I must go, the incense on the first day of the new year is right."
"Okay, okay, goodbye." Wang Xiangzhen shook Zhu Tong's hand, got into the car and left first.
Mei Lanting drove the Renault over and shouted, "Get in the car, you're dying of hunger." β
Not only her, but Chen Abel was also dying of hunger, and when Zhu Tong and his party arrived at the inn, it was already eleven o'clock.
The lights in Phoenix City are brilliant, and guests from afar walk on both sides of the Tuojiang River, putting river lanterns and firecrackers, shouting happily.
Grandma Chen greeted the door early, took Ye'er's bag, looked up and down carefully, and smiled so much that she couldn't close her mouth. It was as if they were not guests from afar, but sons and daughters of their own home.
In the hall, Chen Abel put out a sumptuous dinner and complained: "It was said that it would arrive at nine o'clock, I saw that it was snowing, so I persuaded the old woman to eat first, and she said that she would wait for Ye'er to eat well." β
So, a few wanderers from afar sat down at the table after a brief freshening up, enjoying the hearts of the two old men.
