Li Yanling said to Dai Yunyang: "You hurry up and get out, the ambulance will send you over." ”

Dai Yunyang nodded, he was now infected, of course, it was impossible to insist on treating patients anymore.

He staggered out of the lounge slowly, glanced back, and saw Li Yanling, Zhu Shan, Fu Quan, Wang Bingbing, Xiao Juan, Kang Zhuang and other doctors and nurses all looking at him, and everyone gave him a thumbs up.

The white-haired old man was in a semi-coma, and seemed to know the news, so he also tried to raise his hand and gave a thumbs up: "Doctor Dai, come on,—— this is your words of encouragement to us, and now we are going to encourage you!" ”

Dai Yunyang's heart was warm, he waved his fist and said, "I'll be back!" ”

"We are waiting for you!" Li Yanling and others replied.

An ambulance took him to the newly added designated hospital.

He was diagnosed as seriously ill and placed in a single room in the intensive isolation ward, which was converted from a general ward, but the machines were all brand new.

After asking the doctor, I learned that a batch of relief materials urgently allocated by the state had arrived, so we were able to open up a new designated hospital, put the equipment into use, and expand the scope of treatment.

His oxygen saturation had dropped below the passing mark of 90, and doctors immediately put him on a non-invasive ventilator.

Dai Yunyang has always taught patients that they should cooperate with ventilators and not fight against humans and machines in order to achieve results. And now that he's tried it himself, he's realized that it's not easy to do it, especially when he's just getting started.

Although the ventilator used has been controlled by an advanced microcomputer and can sense the patient's breathing rhythm to adjust, it requires an adaptation process, and it took half a day to barely learn how to cooperate with breathing.

His cough worsened, and CT scans showed that both lungs were already infected.

Dai Yunyang has been comforting patients not to be afraid, but when it comes to his head, he begins to feel the fear of death, especially when he is alone in the ward, there is nothing but the beeping of the monitor, which makes him feel lonely and helpless.

Sleepless late at night.

He sent a voice message to Ai Fenfei on his mobile phone: "Honey, I still got hit, I've been hospitalized, and I'm in the intensive care unit." But it doesn't matter, I can hold on. How is it on your side, you must protect yourself. This time the expansion of the designated hospital, Dad should be able to admit in, I didn't contact him, ask him how the situation is, I ...... I'm a little scared......"

When he said that he was a little scared, Dai Yunyang couldn't go on.

He was really scared that in the past 20 days of fighting the epidemic, he saw one patient after another dying in front of him, turning into a cold corpse and being carried out and transported to the crematorium, and he might become one of them.

He put down his phone, lay on the bed, and watched sadly as the liquid in the infusion catheter window dripped down the tube, and entered his blood vessels along the tube.

The ventilator thrusts rhythmically into his lungs.

However, he felt that oxygen could not enter his lungs at all.

He was very uncomfortable, and every now and then he had to take a deep breath to relieve it a little. But relief is only for a moment. The horror of death was like a black chain around his heart, tightening.

He felt that death was everywhere, and he could see the cold light of the Grim Reaper's scythe slowly coming in through the window.

It was dark outside, and dawn didn't know when it would come.

The room was silent, except for the ticking of instruments. The doctors and nurses didn't know where to go, he felt as if no one cared about him anymore, and he suddenly remembered the patients in his ward who had died suddenly, some of them died so quietly and suddenly, and there was not even a loved one around him.

Dai Yunyang suddenly wanted to talk to his mother, and he couldn't help but dial his mother's phone.

He was afraid that his mother would be worried when she saw him lying in the hospital bed, and that her son had to report good news and not bad news, so he didn't have a video, but just made an ordinary phone call.

He didn't want to disturb his mother's rest, he wanted to wait until dawn to fight, but he had never been so eager to talk to his mother. In the end, I couldn't help but dial the phone.

The call was quickly connected. His mother's voice was not sleepy at all, but full of nervousness, because he had never called her in the middle of the night before.

Dai's mother asked anxiously, "Yunyang, what's wrong, is something wrong?"

Dai Yunyang deliberately looked very relaxed, and laughed dryly: "It's nothing, Mom, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, isn't it a vigil?" When I was a child, you told us that the rat would marry the girl on the 30th night, and we fell asleep on the vigil, and the next day you and your father said that it was lively to see the mouse marrying the girl last night, but unfortunately I didn't see it, but alas, I cried a lot. ”

Mom laughed, her mood relaxed, and said, "You remember wrong, it was your dad who teased you, and I scolded your dad for that." I said, what are you teasing him for? How can there be any mouse marrying a girl, it is all a fairy tale, comforted you for a long time, took you to the street to buy an ice cream, you broke into tears and laughed, you still remember these things! ”

Dai Yunyang's voice was a little choked, but he still nodded vigorously and mumbled a few times.

The mother noticed it and quickly asked again, "Is there something really wrong with you, I think something is wrong with you!" ”

"No! I'm on duty, but there are a few patients who are in a bad condition, and I'm in a bad mood. ”

"I see! Hey, you doctors are also pitiful, especially after the epidemic, it seems that all the tragic days in the world have happened together. To be strong, your biggest fault is that your heart is too kind. ”

Dai Yunyang said, "Is Dad asleep?"

Dai Yunyang's father's voice came from the phone, and he said with sleepiness: "I fell asleep, and I was woken up by you again." - Speaking of when I was a child, I remember when I was a child, I knew that we could wear new clothes during the Spring Festival, and we had to wake up in the middle of the night to wear new clothes. Now that you're not around, you're using the phone to wake us up, just like when you were young, naughty and mischievous. I wonder if after you have a baby, will you be as naughty as you were when you were a child?"

Dai's mother smiled at Dai's father and said, "Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of mice can make holes and can't run." When you used to fall in love, you told me that you were just as naughty when you were a child, putting the four-legged snake in the teacher's chalk box, and you didn't do all these mischievous things, and your future little grandson must be as naughty as your grandfather! ”

"Hahaha!" My father laughed on the phone, "I think so too, it's inherited from one generation to the next, it must be like me." It's just that this grandson hasn't been hugged yet, so I can't say for sure. ”

The mother said again: "By the way, Yunyang, you are all thirty years old, when will you have a child?" It's not mom urging you, it's time to ask for it. ”

Dai Yunyang hurriedly said: "Mom, Fen Fei and I will wait for this epidemic to end, and we will prepare for pregnancy and strive to let you hold your grandson next year." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I'm calling to tell you the good news."

Father Dai was happy, his spirit came suddenly, and his voice also raised an octave: "Good boy, it turned out that he kept this news from us and didn't tell us, it's a New Year's gift, isn't it?" It's so good, it's so good, and I'm so happy with the news. It's been years since I've had a good vigil, and I'm glad this year. Old wife, get up, open a bottle of good wine, let's celebrate, Chinese New Year's Eve vigil! ”

Dai's mother also said in a loud voice: "I'll go fry two dishes and prepare wine immediately, and let's drink until dawn." Oh, it's a pity, Yunyang, if you can come and have two more drinks with your father, it will be complete. ”

Hearing this, Dai Yunyang suddenly became sad, and said with a crying voice: "Dad, Mom, I really, really miss home...... really, really, really miss you......"

………………

It's dawn, and the Spring Festival has arrived.

Dai Yunyang didn't feel sleepy at all.

He watched the window brighten up little by little, turned his head to look at the ECG monitor, the blood oxygen saturation had fallen below the passing line, and the monitor beeped.

But the doctor didn't come, neither did the nurse, and there was silence in the hallway, and there was no sound.

He was getting more and more desperate.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was the WeChat video connection of his wife Ai Fenfei.

He immediately connected to the video.

In the morning light, Ai Fenfei was walking briskly across the square. The streets after the lockdown were quiet, and there was no one.

Behind her, a huge screen hangs from the building.

Ai Fenfei walked in a hurry and said: "I just got off work and saw that you were hospitalized, don't be afraid, I am coming over now, passing by the square, I saw the big screen playing the news, and decided to let you take a look." ”

As she spoke, she pointed her phone video at a huge screen in the building, where CCTV news was being broadcast.

A huge military transport plane appeared on the screen, and the reporter at the scene took the microphone and said excitedly: "The first batch of 450 medical personnel drawn from military medical universities across the country have arrived in Wuhan on an air force transport plane to carry out rescue. It is understood that rescue teams from all over the country have also set off and are rushing to Wuhan! ”

The screen switches, and the team of military doctors hurriedly moves forward.

In front of the procession, there was a bright banner:

"Don't be afraid, Wuhan, we're coming!"

Dai Yunyang's eyes suddenly burst into tears.

He choked up, "I knew ...... Country...... Won't be blind...... Look at us Wuhan...... The ...... of suffering"

Ai Fenfei nodded vigorously, the camera was aimed at herself, her eyes were full of tears, she stared affectionately, and drew a heart in the air with her right hand, supported it with her open palm, and slowly sent it to the camera.

This is the action of them on the phone before going to bed when they fall in love in college.

Dai Yunyang also choked back tears, looked back at his wife, and also drew a heart in the air, held it, and sent it over.

Two hearts, in front of the screen, fused together.
