Chapter 6: Gaining Superpowers (2)
In the afternoon, close to six o'clock, An Ran dragged his tired body and appeared in the quiet corridor on the eighteenth floor of the hospital. It's early March, and the night is still so early. Half an hour ago, the warm sunshine was still permeating the spring day, and after a while, the gloomy haze came up. The high-level wards on the eighteenth floor are all single rooms, and there are few patients, which is particularly clean and quiet compared to the wards downstairs. At this moment, the evening breeze was blowing cold, and the corridor was a little gloomy.
An Ran walked to the front of the ward, and without immediately pushing the door in, she stopped there and sighed deeply. With such a result, you should be grateful, after all, your daughter is still around, as for the future? She looked back at the hallway, and there was no end in sight to the dimly lit hallway.
When she passed by the nurses' station just now, the head nurse stopped her with a gloomy face and informed her that Feiyang's humanitarian treatment period had ended, the hospital's responsibility had ended, and the next treatment belonged to the recovery period, and if they wanted to continue to be hospitalized, they had to bear their own medical expenses.
"However, she is still very weak..."
An Ran was interrupted by the head nurse before she finished speaking: "Isn't it weak to be able to participate in a marathon?" My twelve-year-old daughter can't be tossed by her, after all, the children of the poor are in charge of the house early! She said sourly.
An Ran is not surprised by the attitude of the head nurse, she has several classmates and friends who are doctors, and she is very clear about the system of the hospital: each department of the hospital has certain economic tasks, and if it is not completed, there will be no bonus, so every bed needs to produce its benefits. And they are free, which means that the department is not only not beneficial, but also needs to be upside down.
In fact, not long after Feiyang woke up, she heard that Director Tan was criticized by the hospital because of her daughter's affairs. She thought about going to the hospital to explain it clearly, but she didn't know how to explain it. What happened that morning, to this day, is still a little trance-like, and she even wonders if it really happened. For her, who has received a strict materialist education since she was a child and grew up in a scientific worldview, she doesn't know how to explain to others things that she doesn't believe very well. So she didn't mention it to anyone, including her husband and other relatives. Later, when she heard that the hospital had withheld the surgical bonus for giving them free treatment, she hesitated, but when she saw the shocking medical expenses on the bill, she lost her courage.
These behaviors challenged her bottom line and made her doubt whether she was a kind person, and today's events made her question her character even more.
In the morning, she and her husband came to the traffic police team early. It is a fourth-tier inland city in the south, and like other large and medium-sized cities in China, the continuous road construction has not kept pace with the rapid growth of car ownership. Traffic jams during the morning and evening rush hours have become the norm, and when it comes to holidays, important roads become a huge parking lot.
The driver and his wife also came early. The rough woman was holding a child who was not yet a year old in her arms. After complicated questioning and formalities, the police officer retrieved the surveillance video at the time of the incident. In the video, it can be clearly seen that the congested traffic occupies the non-motorized lane six lanes away, a white chubby kitten is lazily walking on the edge of the road, and a four-wheeled pickup truck full of waste paper shells is slowly reversing in the non-motorized lane. Anyone who sees this pickup truck will be amazed, it is no more than two meters wide, and its cargo picks out twice as wide as the body. In this case, the mirror is useless. Seeing the truck, about to press the kitten, a little girl wearing a blue and white striped school uniform with a ball on her head quickly broke into the video... An Ran shouted, and she didn't dare to continue watching the next video, only knowing that the traffic police team had sentenced the truck to full responsibility.
The driver and his wife knelt in front of An Ran and his wife, begging for forgiveness, and An Ran was so angry that he almost strangled the driver to death. She angrily retorted: Why is it so overloaded? The driver who caused the accident complained upside down: the expensive tolls and gasoline fees. He said that if he didn't overload, he would hardly even make money. And he is nothing more than a scrap collector, and he is also burdened with the responsibilities of three children and two old people. This couple snorted and tearfully recounted the hardships of life. They swore that for An Ran's more than one million yuan in compensation, they couldn't get it even if they killed them. The thin man, with his ravine-ravined hands, pulled a bank card out of his dusty trouser pocket. He said that it was the money he scraped together from selling the house, totaling more than 200,000 yuan, and any more, he would take his wife, children and the elderly to jump into the river together. His wife was crying, and the child in his arms was crying. Along with him, the street director and the staff of the insurance company confirmed the situation, and his car only had compulsory traffic insurance, so the insurance company could not pay much.
The scene was deadlocked for a long time, no matter how they cried, An Ran sat coldly on the side: You are pitiful, but you still have a healthy body! My Feiyang is not only paralyzed but also has many damaged organs, and it is difficult to say whether there are complications at present, and the medical expenses for more than ten days are said to be more than 200,000 yuan. How will she spend her life?!
When the pot-bellied street chief persuaded her to be merciful and kind, she sneered, "Then you can make amends for them!" ”
The man shut his mouth in a huff. Sometimes kindness to others means cruelty to oneself. Kindness requires capital, and a person who is full of anger and despair has no capital to be tolerant and kind to others. Those who demand that people always uphold goodness in good times and good times are naked moral kidnapping.
"The second-" The door of the ward was pushed open little by little, and Fei Yang propped herself up, stretching her neck to look at the door, her mother coming in so slowly.
"Mommy !!" The cry that had been prepared in her throat for a long time burst out, but her mother, who was usually attentive to her and meticulous, didn't notice Fei Yang's desperately suppressed excitement, and she replied scribbly: "Well, are you okay?" Hungry, right? I'm going to buy you food. As he spoke, he picked up the lunch box from the TV cabinet and turned around to go into the bathroom to wash it.
"Mom!" Fei Yang shouted again, "What's wrong with you?" What about Dad? ”
An Ji stopped and looked at Fei Yang blankly: "It's okay." Your dad went to see grandpa, and he'll be over later. ”
"Me! I! I ...... "BGM! BGM! Where is the music for the God of Gamblers? Fei Yang spread his hair and shook his head...
"Are you finished?! When will I be sensible? Don't think you get in trouble enough? I'll leave for a long time, and the head nurse will..."An Ran slammed the lunch box in his hand on the table, and scolded him with a slap in his face.
"How about you? Mom. Fei Yang asked timidly. Since the accident, I haven't seen the tiger mother roar like this, which makes Fei Yang a little forgetful. Zhongya's hourglass is only 2.5 seconds, which has been two and a half weeks, and it has already opened too big. Fei Yang silently turned off the music, raised her hair, she bit her dry lips, stared at her big eyes that were still extremely excited, and begged for mercy like a good girl: "Mom! -I'm sorry-"
"Alas!" An Ran shook her head helplessly and looked around the room: the floor and table in the ward were clean, except for the carnations in front of the window. "What kind of skin do you dance in the afternoon? Make the head nurse so angry? An Ran asked.
"I'm fine. Or Mom, let's talk about it first, didn't you go to the traffic police today? Did it go well? "Fei Yang plans to put the big drama in the finale.
An Ran hesitated, Fei Yang blinked his eyes and looked very sensible: "I've grown up, what's the matter with you, don't let me face it now, I won't have to face it in the future?" Tell me, Mom! ”
This is exactly what An Ji often says to Fei Yang on weekdays, whether this child really understands or not, it's time for her to face reality. So, she briefly recounted what happened in the traffic police force.
"You took all the money, so what are they going to do?" Fei Yang's eyes widened.
"They have hands and feet, and they can always support themselves, but what about you? What will happen in the future? These 200,000 may not even be enough for medical expenses! Dad and Mom always have a day when they are old and a day when they are not there, what will you do then? "Anjiao was a little devastated.
"Mom! Close the door, come here, sit down. Fei Yang called out to her mother, her eyes shining frighteningly.
"What are you doing today?" An Ran finally noticed Fei Yang's abnormality, she locked the door suspiciously, and casually threatened: "Don't give me a chance to beat you." ”
"Nope! No! Mom, sit down! Sit on the couch and don't scream too loud no matter what you see? Be calm! Calm down! Fei Yang couldn't wait, she turned on the music on her phone, and muttered: "Fireyas reborn in the storm, the one who does not burn, the queen of superpower, the queen of wisdom and bravery, the lord of the earth, the guardian of the whole domain, the heroine of the Pacific, the shackler..."
"Smack! - "Before she could finish reading, she was slapped in the face. "Mom! Why are you like this——, I can still speak normally at this time, it's already amazing! Fei Yang covered his face and shouted aggrievedly: "How can there be no BGM at such a milestone moment?!" How can there be no slogan?! Mom, you also watch Game of Thrones, and Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons, doesn't have to say 'born in the storm' every time she appears..."
"Do you want to play? You play on your own. An Ran turned to leave.
"Wait—all right, all right, it's me who's so high! I won't say it! We'll start right away, and there's time for you to scream. Fei Yang hurriedly begged. An Ran sighed and returned to the sofa.
Fei Yang raised his hands like a magician to show his mother, signaling that there was nothing in his hand, and An Ran nodded angrily. "The show begins!" Fei Yang proudly announced, she pressed her hands behind her back, adjusted her breathing, and closed her eyes. Gradually, the tiny ward unfolded in the form of an energy field. She stared at her mother's lunch box that had just fallen on the table, concentrating... After a while, she saw a thin blue light like a light smoke, and leaned leisurely towards the lunch box. She struggled to control the blue mist of light, trying to use it to lift the lunch box...
"You're not done! How long is it going to be played! Her mother's roar interrupted her. When she opened her eyes, the lunch box was still on the table, and there were milk powder cans and thermos cups next to it, and the lunch box had not moved for half a minute.
"Ugh! Hey-hey! Mistakes, mistakes! It may be too heavy, after all, this is just the beginning, and the skill value needs to be improved. She said breathlessly.
"Fei Yang!" Seeing that the volcano was about to erupt, Fei Yang quickly pulled a small piece of napkin from the bedside table, put it on his chest, and then closed his eyes again. The blue mist emanated from her forehead, and she saw it thin, weak, slowly rising towards the small thin white mist, and gradually, the blue light mist enveloped the white mist. She was concentrating again...
"Ah——!h An Ji couldn't help but scream, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Fei Yang opened his eyes, and the small piece of white napkin, sure enough, was trembling and stopping in mid-air!
Fei Yang smugly closed his eyes again. The magical napkin actually seemed to come to life, and it swirled and flew in the air, leaving a trace of a figure 8 in the air like a bee.
"What kind of magic is this? Xiaofei, where did you learn it? Angel pounced on the slowly falling tissue, making sure it wasn't pulled by any silk threads.
Once upon a time, I wrote: When God closes one door, he opens another door for you. I think it's funny: there is no God at all, who will open the windows and open the doors? But now—" Fei Yang exclaimed excitedly, "Mom! I know! There really is something beyond our human consciousness, I don't know if it's called God or not, but I seem to have really stood in front of it, or I am a part of it, and human beings are part of it. It not only opens and closes doors for us, it also determines the meaning of humanity and even the universe. Mom, I don't quite understand what that means, but now, it really opens another door for me, and that's it—Superpower! ”
Fei Yang waved his hand, and the tissue in An Ran's hand rose again: "Mom! It's not magic, it's super! Can you believe it?!"
"I believe it! Feiyang! Thank you! Thank you—" An Ran suddenly burst onto the bed and hugged her daughter in tears.
An Ran's reaction made Fei Yang a little confused: "Mom, what are you thanking me for, this is not reasonable?" Isn't that your style, shouldn't you scream 'oh-oh mystery' or rush over and slap me and scold me for? You are a woman with knowledge and independent judgment, not an aunt who is easily deceived, of course, I am sure I didn't lie to you, but don't you doubt it..."
"On that day, was it really you?" An Ji interrupted Fei Yang's chatter.
"What?" Fei Yang was even more confused.
"On the roof of the hospital, you saved - Mom, right?" An Ran hugged Fei Yang and couldn't speak excitedly.
"The roof of the hospital? What's this? Fei Yang's eyes widened: "It's a bit difficult to accept super powers, but mom, your reaction is chaotic!" Suddenly, she patted her head and exclaimed, "Oh! No way! Mom——, what are you going to do that day? Suicide? ”
An Ji hugged Fei Yang, tears flowed on the faces of their mother and daughter: "I knew it was you, it was not an illusion, it was really you!" Feiyang, my baby! Thank you for saving Mom, thank you for letting Mom know today: I'm not crazy, it's all true! ”
