Xu Ya, who stayed in the center of the artificial lake, picked up the sculls, slowly rowed back, and said to me: "Brother Gao, I couldn't sleep last night, it seemed to be 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, I heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground, I thought it was a patient, who also couldn't sleep, but when I opened the door, there was no half a figure in the corridor, do you say strange?" ”

The sound of crutches tapping the ground, there was no one in the corridor when I went out to look, this scene Jing Yang Keer also encountered, she met Uncle Zou who was already dead.

Now Xu Ya has also encountered the same scene, is it a coincidence, or has Uncle Zou found her?

I wasn't sure, but when Xu Ya's boat came ashore, I reached out and grabbed her little hand and pulled her up.

Her little hands were soft, but they were unusually cold.

"Brother Gao, you don't know, I couldn't sleep at the time, I was trying to find someone to talk to, when I heard the sound, I immediately got down, and the process took a few seconds, but when I opened the door, the sound of crutches hitting the ground disappeared, don't you say strange?"

"It's a little strange, but you also said that it was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, maybe you were sleepy at the time, but you didn't realize it, in a daze, you heard it wrong."

"Impossible," Xu Ya shook her head, and then said: "I was very sober at the time, and when I saw that there was no one in the corridor, I also went out to take a look, and when I saw that there was really no one, I walked back." ”

"What do you want to say?" I asked as I let go of her hand.

"Brother Gao, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I think I may have met a ghost, it is said that people who are dying can see ghosts."

I don't know if what Xu Ya said is right, but Uncle Zou's ghost really exists, and he is wandering now, is it really like Xu Ya said, she is about to die, so Uncle Zou came to take her?

Thinking of this, I felt creepy, suppressed the panic in my heart, grabbed Xu Ya's arms, and reprimanded her: "What nonsense are you talking about, so decent, why are you dying?" ”

Xu Ya lowered her little head and whispered, "Brother Gao, I know it's wrong, and I won't talk nonsense in the future." You're right, I was probably sleepy last night, and I heard it wrong. ”

I slowly let go of her arm and smiled at her, "I was so excited just now, did it scare you?" ”

"No, I know that Brother Gao, you care about me, so you will be like this."

"Well, that's good!" After hesitating for a moment, I still said: "Suppose, I'm talking about hypothetical, suppose you hear that kind of sound next time, you stay in the room obediently, don't go out, you know?" ”

Xu Ya looked at me inexplicably, she didn't understand, just now I said that she heard it wrong, but now she solemnly told her that if she heard it again, don't go out.

But she was very sensible after all, nodded her head, and didn't ask the bottom of it.

I sent Xu Ya back to the ward, but I felt faintly uneasy in my heart, Xu Ya would not lie to me, in the middle of the night, she heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground, except for Uncle Zou, there would be no second person.

Could it be that Xu Ya is really dying, so Uncle Zou is lingering outside her door?

I'm unwilling, I can't watch Xu Ya die like this.

There is only one way to save Xu Ya, and that is to give her a kidney transplant, but her mother is not suitable for surgery, so the only way is to start with her brother-in-law.

There was a phone number for her family in the hospital, and I thought it was her mother's, so I pressed that number and I called.

The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged man, and he asked me who I was.

I was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, I understood that Xu Ya's mother even bought a house in order to treat her daughter, and in this case, her mobile phone will definitely not be available, so the only contact information she can leave is her younger brother, that is, Xu Ya's brother-in-law.

"Hello, I'm from the hospital, are you Xu Ya's brother-in-law?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and then replied in a low voice, "I am." ”

"Can we meet and talk, is it about Xu Ya?" After speaking, I held my breath, if the middle-aged man refused to agree, it would prove that he didn't care about Xu Ya's life or death at all, and I wanted to persuade him to agree to the operation, which was difficult to climb.

There was silence again, and after a long while, the middle-aged man replied with some hesitation: "Well, well! ”

I let out a long breath, and then we made an appointment for a time and place, and then I hung up.

The place we made an appointment was at a small restaurant near the hospital, and Xu Ya's brother-in-law was about forty or fifty years old, very tall, and thin.

After I sat down face to face with him, I groaned for a while, and I spoke first: "Xu Ya is very sensible, but it's a pity that her health is not good, if she is not operated on, the most optimistic estimate is that she can live for half a year." You are her brother-in-law, and the only person who can save her is you, but I was in the hospital, but I never heard her want to come to you. ”

The middle-aged man's body trembled, and at this time, the waiter happened to deliver the food, and he hurriedly covered it up with chopsticks with his head down.

"I know you're embarrassed, I think Xu Ya also knows your embarrassment, that's why she didn't beg you, but Xu Ya is only 16 years old, she's so young, and she's still your granddaughter, are you watching her die?"

"Don't say it," the middle-aged man put down his chopsticks, he pulled his hair in distress, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xu Ya is a good boy, I know this, but I also have my difficulties, it's not that I don't want to save her, you bring me a message when you go back, let her forgive her uncle." ”

"What difficulties do you have, no matter how big the difficulties are, is it too big to take a life?"

"You don't know, it's ...... here," the middle-aged man's words came to an abrupt end, and he looked at the door, a hint of fear in his eyes.

I followed his gaze and it was a woman in her 40s, dressed in a gray shirt, walking straight towards us.

"Sneaking out, I knew it was for that little girl's business again. You go back for me, that little girl is sick, what does it matter to us? The woman said to Xu Ya's uncle.

The middle-aged man looked at me, smiled wryly, and got up from his chair.

I know his difficulties, like he said, it's not that he doesn't want to save it, it's that his wife doesn't want to save it.

And looking at him, he was very afraid of his wife.

"I don't care who you are, in short, I tell you, don't beat our old Yang's idea, our old Yang will not save Xu Ya's girl, doing that kind of surgery is very harmful to the body, don't think we don't understand."

After speaking, the woman dragged one of Lao Yang's arms to leave, but she glanced at the dishes on the table and stopped again.

"These dishes are all ordered by our old Yang, waiter, come here."

Before I could speak, the woman called the waitress and asked them to pack the food away, and she left satisfied, until the lunch box was full.

During the whole process, Lao Yang lowered his head and looked silent.

It wasn't until he reached the door that he turned around, looked at me apologetically, opened his mouth as if to say something to me, and his wife pulled him and he disappeared in the doorway.

"Sir, look at this bill......"

"I'll tie it out!" I said to the waiter on the side.

The scene just now fell into my eyes, and I had a plan in my heart.

When I got home, it was almost 7 o'clock in the evening, and Yang Keer asked me where I had been, coming back so late?

I casually found a reason to perfunctory the past, and the 20,000 yuan I gave Xu Ya was never forgotten, worried that I would not come back.

So everything about Xu Ya, I can hide it, and try not to tell her.

Taking off my suit, I went into the bathroom, and was about to take a shower, when I heard Yang Keer's mobile phone ringing.

Then there was a sound of footsteps, and Yang Keer went to the bedroom.

It must have been her father calling again, and it was almost a month since she counted the time, and her father's call should have come.

I thought to myself, and I didn't have the heart to take a shower anymore, so I put on my suit again, and I sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Sure enough, it didn't take much effort for Yang Ke'er to walk out of the bedroom, she looked at me apologetically, and said, "It was my father's phone just now, and he said he would come over later." ”

"I know, Kerr, you see, we've been together for a while. Now that I'm a full-fledged doctor, and my income is decent, I've always wanted to see your father, so I'll meet him tonight. ”

After a pause, I looked at Yang Ke'er deeply, and said softly: "I want to marry you, as long as we pass your father's level, we can be together forever, you don't have to hide like this, you want to do the same, right?" ”

Yang Ke'er was touched by me, she came to my side, rested her head on my shoulder, and said with half-closed eyes: "I also want to be with you forever, but now is not the time." ”

"Why?"

"It's going to take a process, my father doesn't know anything about me and you, I want to find an opportunity to tell him slowly, so maybe he can accept you more easily."

Yang Keer's reason is impeccable, if it weren't for the lobby manager's words, saying that she used to go in and out with the plaid man, maybe I would have really believed her.

But now, the more she refuses to let me see her father, the more it means that she has a ghost in her heart.

Whether her father is a nuisance or not, and whether she still maintains contact with the checkered man, you can see tonight.

Walking out of the apartment, I touched my face, just now Yang Keer sent me out of the door and kissed me on the face, extremely gentle.

I know she's good to me, she likes me, and all I'm going to do now is to doubt her, is it right or wrong to do this?

After hesitating around the bend in the hallway, I finally chose not to go downstairs, but found a hidden place to hide.

After waiting for so long, I must know the truth tonight, otherwise it will be like a wall, between me and Yang Keer, so that we can't go into each other's hearts and be suspicious of each other.
