Chapter 19: Difficult Times

Inscription: Last night's stars, last night's wind painting building, west side of Guitang East

With the issuance of the lockdown order, various supporting control measures have also been quickly introduced, all the cadres in the city, those who have not left Han should be on standby, those who have left Han should return to Han as soon as possible to be on standby, the provincial and municipal cadres of a considerable level have canceled the Spring Festival holiday, and all functional departments, especially the public security organs, are in a state of highest alert.

Wuhan's lockdown notice quickly spread to the whole province and the whole country. More than a dozen prefectures and cities in the province have also made emergency arrangements, prepared emergency plans, and are ready to issue orders to close cities, counties, towns, and villages at any time. Some provinces and municipalities responded quickly and took the lead in initiating a first-level response to public emergencies.

The traditional Chinese festival, the Spring Festival has arrived. The Spring Festival was supposed to be a day of national celebration, family reunion, peace and tranquility, and joy for the people, but now it has been cast under layers of horror and panic, and the shadow of heart-pounding. The city, the province and even the whole country are almost rumored, everyone is frightened when they hear the virus, and the mood of the New Year has long been blown away by the cold wind and rain.

There is now a common belief that people must avoid the virus and survive. Yes, we must survive, we must fight the virus, we must unite, we must overcome the difficulties together, what is more important than surviving now?

The big boss Lin Weiyin, who was still more than half an hour short of the lockdown time, drove to the west gate of Wuhan. His driver was driving a Mercedes-Benz van with Lin Weiyin's family on it. Lin Weiyin drove a super Land Rover sedan and followed behind. The west gate of Wuhan is the intersection of Beijing-Guangzhou, Shanghai-Chongqing two vertical and horizontal arteries, and is also the connection point of the third ring road.

Seeing this scene, Lin Weiyin regretted not buying a private helicopter in the first place. He went to the manufacturer several times to see the style of the private helicopter, selected the model, and also hired the helicopter pilot, but later because his wife blocked him, he didn't buy it. His wife made a fuss about buying a helicopter for three days, and then showed out her hole cards and asked Lin Weiyin if she wanted to date more female goblins more conveniently by buying a helicopter? Lin Weiyin slapped the woman angrily and scolded: "Ma Lage Bi (swearing colloquialism), a banban (swearing colloquial) nonsense, are you crazy?" The woman didn't scold anymore, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sat on the side sulking. After a pause, the woman said, "How eye-catching are you buying a helicopter?" Others don't even have cars, you see that Jia and the community Hu Jieming and Shen Zhongkun are all department-level, and they also drive hundreds of thousands of cars, they see you buy helicopters, aren't they jealous of you? Don't hate you? It's no wonder that I don't hate you! There are also those who are unemployed, who do not do things, eat subsistence allowances, and don't hate you to death! ”

At this moment, Lin Weiyin faced the long car dragon in front of him and wanted to get out of the city in a hurry. He called Ying Yuanjundao: "Hey, old Ying, Brother Yuanjun, I'm blocking the exit of the West Gate now, there are a few kilometers of cars in front, and there is a convoy behind me that can't be seen, I have to think of a way to let me out of the city." ”

Ying Yuanjun was on duty at the police station, and he had just received an order: "All police officers must be on duty and on alert at all times to deal with the many emergencies caused by the lockdown."

At this time, the police of the patrol team had just caught a few pickpockets from the train station and escorted them back to the police station, and Ying Yuanjun was preparing to surprise and interrogate the theft suspects. After he received Lin Weiyin's call, he was a little embarrassed. He said: "Mr. Lin, I told you the inside news of the lockdown a long time ago, you don't take it seriously, why don't you leave early?" There are still more than 20 minutes left before the lockdown time, can you get out? ”

Lin Weiyin said: "I'm too busy, who will go out of the city if I don't go out of the city?" You have to figure it out. ”

Ying Yuanjun was silent. He remembered that Lin Weiyin came to his house a few days ago to pay New Year's greetings, and when he left, he left a black plastic bag, which contained a few high-end cigarettes. This is what Lin Weiyin has been accustomed to for several years. His intention is to encircle Ying Yuanjun, and to do business with both the underworld and the red, businessmen can't do big business without an umbrella.

Ying Yuanjun said: "Look at who is on duty at the intersection? You ask for his name, and tell me the police number on his badge, and see if I can accommodate him. ”

Lin Weiyin walked to the duty office at the intersection, and he found that some reinforcements had arrived, and the epidemic prevention personnel were wearing white protective clothing, standing on both sides of the exit, holding temperature guns, to measure the temperature of people going out of the city, and some people and vehicles with fever had been detained. Lin Weiyin told Ying Yuanjun the badge of the person in charge on duty.

Ying Yuanjun didn't know the traffic police on duty, so he told one of his friends and superiors the police number, and asked the superiors to take care of Lin Weiyin.

Ying Yuanjun didn't expect that this friend's superior taught him a lesson and asked Ying Yuanjun: "You don't know the current affairs!" When? Combat readiness, you know? You don't make trouble for me, stay honest, and follow orders. Don't mess around, don't mess around. ”

Lin Weiyin looked at the densely packed cars in front of him like a pile of blocks, he was desperate, he couldn't get out of the city. At this time, he was clever and thought: If you can't get out of the city, you can go abroad! Perhaps it is safer abroad. He has villas in the United States and Australia, and going there is equivalent to returning home. His entire family had green cards and had passports with them.

Lin Weiyin ordered the driver: "Turn around and follow me, go to the airport." ”

They sped all the way along the airport at high speed. When they arrived at the airport, Lin Weiyin's wife and children knew that Lin Weiyin was going to take them to the United States. In the midst of hesitation and nervousness, Lin Weiyin's wife and children are reluctant to go to the United States.

Lin Weiyin hurriedly shouted: "Being in the city means waiting for death!" ”

The woman disagreed, saying, "I'm not the only one who wants to die, but more than 10 million people will die?" I believe in your wickedness! God does not accept the innocent! God favors those who are good. ”

Lin Weiyin had no choice but to drive back to his villa in Jiahe Community.

At this time, Hu Jieming was walking around the community. Lin Weiyin found him, his eyes lit up, and he thought, "Is Director Hu okay?" Discharged? The new coronavirus pneumonia said that he (scared) people to death, it's nothing, isn't Director Hu good? He walked over to Hu Jieming.

Lin Weiyin said with a smile: "Hello Director Hu! Have you been discharged from the hospital? I'm still wondering when I'll see you again! He held out his hand as he spoke.

Hu Jieming didn't stretch out his hand, and took a few steps back, saying: "Mr. Lin, don't get close to me, don't get close to me, I was diagnosed with new coronavirus pneumonia, two meters away, two meters away." ”

Lin Weiyin's heart was shocked, and he was vigilant, thinking: How can I run back to the community before I am discharged from the hospital? Isn't that harmful? I'm still strolling around the neighborhood as if nothing happened! However, Lin Weiyin's mouth said: "I see that you have a good complexion, which is very good." ”

Hu Jieming said: "Mr. Lin, what's the matter with the special medicine I asked you about last time?" Is there an echo? Do you want to do something! ”

Lin Weiyin had already forgotten about the special medicine entrusted to Hu Jieming in Fumin Hospital. Now I heard that the hospital has no specific medicine for this disease, and if there is, will the hospital's own people die? I heard that not long ago, a high-ranking official also died of new coronavirus pneumonia, if there is a special medicine, will people not use it?

Lin Weiyin smiled, looked embarrassed, made up a set of lies, and said: "I asked everywhere, and I also specially asked people to inquire in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, and they all had special drugs, but there were special drugs for cancer, but they were not drugs that killed the new coronavirus. ”

Hu Jieming looked displeased, shrugged his arms, and said, "I know, I know." ”

Hu Jieming walked to his home, he sneaked out of the hospital, had a New Year's dinner with his family at noon, and then sneaked back to the hospital.

Back home, Hu Jieming's wife and son had already prepared the New Year's dinner. On the large round table in the middle of the living room, there are a variety of delicacies, exuding a fragrant smell. Lin Weiyin turned on all the lights, and suddenly, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was harmonious. A circle of wine glasses and chopsticks was placed on the table, and Lin Weiyin poured some wine in each cup with his own hands, and put some rice in each bowl, and he paid tribute to his deceased ancestors and deceased relatives in accordance with traditional customs.

Hu Jieming called his wife and son over and said, "Gassho and make a wish, let the ancestors and relatives in that world bless us with peace and health, happiness and longevity!" ”

Hu Jieming's wife and son prayed and made a wish according to his request.

Lin Weiyin stood silently with his palms together, and there were words in his mouth, so he couldn't hear what he was saying. What he said at this time is only known to himself: the ancestors of the gods and the deceased relatives, Gengzi is near, there are many troubles, I pray to bless us with peace and sound, rise in power, from deputy to regular, healthy and long-lived, protect me and my family with safety, health and prosperity, children with phoenixes, and increase blessings; The old man has no illness and no disaster, and spends his old age in peace. Our generation should remember the kindness, thanksgiving, we will wait for the spring to be warm and clear, choose the time to lead the whole family to pay tribute, in order to knock the heaven and earth of the blessing of the ancestors! ”

Hu Jieming is very religious, as if the gods and their deceased ancestors and relatives are sitting at the living room table in his house. At the same time, he was very worried, he was infected with the new crown pneumonia, although there were hospitals doing their best to treat them, but from time to time, they were still not out of danger, he was lucky, maybe with the help of the power of the immortal ancestor and the gods, he could save himself from danger.

After the memorial service, the family sat down in all directions. Lin Weiyin opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai. Suddenly, the mellow fragrance overflowed. He poured a cup for his old father, poured another glass for himself, and said: "I heard that alcohol can disinfect, especially high-quality liquor, which can kill the virus. He tilted his neck, and a glass of white wine went down to his stomach, from his throat to his stomach, and it was like a fire.

At this time, on the balcony on the opposite floor, someone was knocking on the basin. This basin is made of aluminum alloy, and it is very loud when it is knocked on, bang! Bang! The noise is getting louder and louder. A woman's hoarse voice cried out, "God save us!" Bang! Boom ......"

The sound alarmed the residents of Jiahe Community. People came to the balcony one after another to see what was going on. Hu Jieming thought, you are sick and shouting for help, can God hear it? He hurriedly closed the balcony glass door.

Someone called Chen Mingsan, the director of the property committee, and asked him to quickly deal with the matter of knocking on the basin.

Chen Ming was hesitant for a while, he was preparing to drink the New Year's wine, and he didn't want to come, so he reported Lu Sanxi.

Lu Sanxi said that he is in charge of property, not human life, and he is a person who walks around the bend in case of trouble.

At this time, Shen Zhongkun called Secretary Fang Jia of Wanjia Community and reported the matter.

Fang Jia was about to go to the table for a reunion dinner, and after learning of this situation, he immediately notified and led the security officer An Daoji, grid member Wang Bo and others to the house of the female owner who called for help in Jiahe Community.

Fang Jia found that in this family, there were two elderly people lying on the bed, in critical condition, and the woman's fifteen-year-old child also had a high fever. The woman was divorced a few years ago, and in the face of the sudden illness of her family, she has run to five or six hospitals. The hospital did not have a virus test kit for a while, so it was impossible to determine whether it was new crown pneumonia or not. She asked to be hospitalized for observation, but there was no bed. Seeing that a family of three patients was becoming more and more dangerous, she begged for help everywhere, there was nothing she could do, she was about to go crazy, so she had to take an aluminum alloy basin and blindly shouted for help. After Fang Jia understood the situation, she calmed down a little and thought of Zhu Yi.

Fang Jia called Zhu Yi's phone, but Zhu Yi did not answer, and the message set was: The owner has opened a voice message and will reply later.

Fang Jia was so anxious that she couldn't help it, so she called Director Wen Xigao of the street to report the matter.

Wen Xigao saw that it was Fang Jia's call, and was very happy, pressed the answer button, and said, "Jiajia, I really have a heart, I am also thinking about you, hehe." ”

Fang Jia said anxiously: "Director Wen, there is a very urgent situation now, Jiahe community of four, all of them have a fever, they have been waiting at home for more than a week, and they urgently need to go to the hospital for examination, I am afraid that it is new coronavirus pneumonia." ”

Wen Xigao never expected Fang Jia to call to be this troublesome matter, his heart was half cold, and he said lukewarmly: "At this time, people are celebrating the New Year, and they are generally preparing to have a reunion dinner, I, I can't help it." He paused, and then reminded Fang Jia with great concern: "Jiajia, don't worry about this stall, now that the virus is spreading everywhere, you can't make yourself infected, do you hear?" ”

Fang Jia hung up the phone angrily, her heart was mixed. She thought, Director Wen said don't care about this gossip? Don't make it yourself infected? Is this a reminder? Or is it prevarication or contemptible?

At this time, Zhu Yi had just come out of the rescue room, and he was in a very heavy mood. Just half an hour ago, two more COVID patients left the world, and they did not see their loved ones for the last time before they died. He saw an old man on his deathbed, still asking for a pen and paper to write a suicide note, and the old man took a lot of effort to write a line of words: My body is donated to the country! Zhu Yi's tears couldn't help but flow, and he stood silently in front of the old man for a long time. He also witnessed a 34-year-old young man who was sending a video to his fiancée when suddenly his phone fell to the ground and the screen was permanently closed......

Zhu Yi called Fang Jia back, and after hearing about the situation of the woman who knocked on the basin and the family of four had a fever and was sick, he knew that the situation was serious. He said decisively: "Although there is a shortage of hospital beds, it is important to save people, life is paramount, let them come, I want to do everything possible to treat them." ”
