Chapter 68: A beggar on the road
I was shocked and hurriedly ran over, and I helped her to the sofa with my nanny and sat down, Professor Liu had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, his expression was tired, his face was bloodless, his eyes were tightly closed, and the wrinkles were wrinkled together, like weathered and cracked bark.
She moaned weakly with her mouth half-open, breathless.
"Medicine, take medicine."
She whispered feebly.
After hearing this, the nanny and aunt quickly ran into the bedroom, took a white bottle of medicine, unscrewed the lid, poured out five or six pills, and brought another glass of water.
Professor Liu took the medicine, but still did not open her eyes, she leaned on the back of the sofa, looking very painful.
I squeezed her hand and said anxiously, "Professor Liu, how are you feeling, do you want to go to the hospital?" ”
Her face turned pale, she shook her head slightly, and did not speak.
Seeing this, I was even more anxious, as if sitting on acupuncture, I turned around and said to the nanny and aunt: "Auntie, you go find a few clothes, take a glass of water, and the medicine that Professor Liu often takes, and let's go to the hospital." ”
After saying that, I picked up Professor Liu, opened the door, and walked quickly downstairs.
Auntie followed me in a panic, Professor Liu was very light, about 30 kilograms, walked to the street, Auntie stopped a taxi, I put Professor Liu in the back seat, and hurriedly said to the driver: "Quick, go to the city hospital." ”
The taxi roared and ran straight in the direction of the hospital.
I ran down the corridor of the emergency room with Professor Liu in my arms, shouting, "Doctor, doctor." ”
Seeing this, a doctor hurriedly walked over and led me into an operating room, followed by several nurses from the operating department, and after I put Professor Liu on the operating table, the doctor looked at me and said, "Let's go out and wait first." ”
I looked at Professor Liu lying on the operating table again, sighed deeply, and turned to walk out of the operating room.
I sat on the rest chair in the corridor and waited anxiously, I don't know how many hours the operation had been carried out, the nanny aunt had gone home, this feeling of living like a year was really unsteady, during which Xue Xinyan sent a WeChat message, she asked me when I was going to the United States, I did not reply to her.
When the door opened, it was already dark, and the doctor took off his mask and walked out with a tired face.
I hurriedly greeted him, looked at the doctor and said, "Doctor, how is it?" ”
"The patient is now out of danger of life, and she must not be frightened, let alone stimulated, and must remember to take medicine on time."
The doctor was expressionless and spoke slowly, and then turned to leave.
I pushed open the door of the operating room and saw Professor Liu lying there quietly, like a dead leaf blown off in the autumn wind, without a trace of life, without bloodless cheeks, suddenly full of sadness and desolation, life is imminent, the cycle of life and death, everyone has been full of vitality and spring, but not everyone can feel life with their hearts and cherish life.
The nurse transferred Professor Liu to the intensive care unit, she had been asleep, and I sat on the edge of the bed, feeling extremely sad in my heart, a sense of helplessness surrounded me, and I was overwhelmed, the road ahead was so confusing, and life was so short, so fragile, so vulnerable.
Sleepiness hit, I leaned back in my chair and fell asleep, and in my dream, I came to a continent infested with wild beasts, where danger and despair were buried everywhere, the smell of blood rushed into my nostrils, almost made me vomit, the beasts killed each other, the scene was terrifying, the sky was foggy, and there was no light in sight.
I was stunned in place, and suddenly, a monster appeared in front of me, it looked like a huge python, with four sharp claws, and its head was very similar to the head of a turtle, it stared at me coldly, the cold was overwhelming, I shivered, and wanted to turn around and escape.
But my feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and I couldn't take a step, and the monster let out a terrible roar, and its eyes lit up, and swallowed me straight into its stomach.
I woke up in an instant, scared into a cold sweat, the ward was completely dark, and the mobile phone in my pocket rang.
I stood up, walked to the door, turned on the light, took out my mobile phone to check, it was Brother Scumbag calling, I glanced at the time again, at 7:30 in the evening, I suddenly remembered that I wanted to have dinner with Brother Scum, since I forgot.
I was just about to answer, the phone hung up, I walked to the bed, Professor Liu had woken up, I was overjoyed, held her hand, and said excitedly: "You woke up, how do you feel?" ”
She looked a little weak, and said hoarsely: "I'm afraid that time is running out, so let's go to the United States by yourself tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't accompany you, you go over there, just contact your Uncle Dawei, cough..."
After speaking, she shivered violently, I gently patted her on the back, poured her a glass of water, and said worriedly: "Professor Liu, you don't have to worry about my business, I'm not in a hurry to go over there, when you recover from your illness, let's go together." ”
"Don't let me delay you."
After hearing this, I hurriedly explained: "There is no delay at all, seeing a doctor is the big thing." ”
At this time, the mobile phone rang again, it was still a scumbag, and I said to Professor Liu: "Professor Liu, I'll answer the phone." ”
She nodded slightly.
I opened the door to the ward, went to the hallway, and clicked the answer button.
"Why don't you kid answer the phone, I have prepared a big table of dishes, you let me pigeon."
On the other side of the phone, there was a grumpy blame from the scumbag.
"Brother scumbag, something suddenly happened on my side, I'm afraid I can't go back to eat."
"Damn, what are you doing?"
I said guiltily: "I'm really sorry, scumbag, I will definitely compensate you next time." ”
Brother Scumbag complained a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
When I walked into the ward, Professor Liu looked at me and said, "Wang Tao, if you have something to do, you can go and get busy, and there will be a nurse here to take care of me." ”
I teased her: "How can the nurse take care of me thoughtfully, I am an all-round male nanny, I can do laundry, cooking, guardianship, bodyguarding, I can do it." ”
After hearing this, Professor Liu laughed softly, her eyes were full of loving light, looked at me for a while, and said lightly: "Wang Tao, you have to take good care of your body, don't do something harmful to your health, people should be content and happy, remember not to be greedy and go astray, to be a responsible, responsible man, love the family, repay the society, live hard, so as not to be in vain in this life, born is not easy, when a person from the beginning of the quack landing, has taken on all kinds of responsibilities, you must continue to learn and progress, will not be eliminated by this society, encourage yourself more, don't be inferior and conceited, have a little confidence, you are still so young, you have to believe in yourself. ”
That night, she told me a lot of proverbs and reasoning, and I was deeply touched, just as she taught me, men should have actions, have responsibility, recognize the truth of life, and still love life.
It can be said that over the years, Professor Liu has been my first enlightenment teacher, and she has taught me how to do things in a high-profile manner, how to be a low-key person, how to gain a foothold in a rapidly changing society, how to fight a bloody way in the fiercely competitive commodity market, how to get out of confusion in the dark, and so on.
I sat in front of her hospital bed all night, and when it was dawn, I saw that she was sleeping deeply, so I got up lightly, slowly opened the door, and walked out of the hospital.
I bought two boxes of millet porridge, two tea eggs, and four vegetarian buns at a breakfast stall near the hospital.
After paying, I turned around and walked towards the hospital, and suddenly, on the corner of the street, I saw a man in a black suit, he was wearing sunglasses, he was tall and straight, much like a noblewoman's subordinates, seeing me looking at him vigilantly, he straightened his sunglasses, turned around and disappeared into the depths of the corner.
I thought to myself, what tricks does this lady want to play with me, is she sending someone to follow me?
Then she should know about me going to New York, it's really the most poisonous woman's heart, she has not let down her guard against me, since she sent someone to investigate me, it doesn't matter, she will always come, and I will not be afraid of her when she comes.
I continued to walk forward, and saw a boy kneeling not far ahead, eleven or twelve years old, with a muddy face, wearing an elementary school uniform, a pair of white sneakers, and his hair was unkempt.
Beside the boy lay a middle-aged man, dressed in rags, wearing a green camouflage uniform on the upper body, and dirty, shiny yellow trousers on the bottom, only one leg of the trousers sticking out, and the rest of the trousers rolled up like a molten snakeskin.
He was about the same age as the scumbag, with his eyes closed, his expression was extremely painful, and he let out a few weak moans from time to time.
It seems that the boy should be the son of a middle-aged man, who came out to beg because he was missing a leg and had to pay for his son's schooling.
I don't care about this kind of thing, I remember Zhang Xueyao told me before that there are many liars in this city, such as people begging along the streets, most of them are organized and planned, these beggars have a leader, he will give these people tasks every day, if they can't be completed, they will inevitably suffer when they go back.
Most of the underage children are trafficked from remote mountainous areas, and they brutally break their legs or blind them and make them beg on the streets to win public sympathy and seek their own benefits.
As I passed by the father and son, the boy looked at me and exclaimed, "Good Samaritan, have mercy on me, I haven't eaten for days, and my father is dying of hunger." ”
His big eyes flickered, his clear eyes glistened with tears, his expression was a little panicked, and his voice trembled slightly, as if he was very reluctant to do this.
I stopped, took out two buns from the plastic bag, handed them to him, and said, "Here you go, I just bought them, and they're still hot." ”
The boy looked at me in surprise and didn't reach for it.
I said helplessly, "Take it, aren't you hungry?" ”
At this time, the middle-aged man behind him pinched the boy's back with his hand, and the boy bared his teeth in pain, and a few tears fell.
I saw it in my eyes and hurriedly asked the man, "This brother, if you don't eat the buns, what more do you want?" ”
He didn't speak, still lying there pretending to be dead.
The boy wiped his eyes, choked up and said, "I don't want to eat, I want money." ”
I was surprised, what kind of routine was this, I had no intention of chatting with them, and just as I wanted to turn around and leave, the middle-aged man sat up with a hula, his face distorted, and swept away the sickness just now.
He looked at me with some annoyance and said, "Wait. ”
