Chapter 50: Changing Lives
I was hiding in a dark place in the hallway, and as soon as I was hiding, I heard footsteps, and then a man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in my sight.
The man was about 50 years old, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and a briefcase in his hand.
I saw him walk to the door of Yang Keer's house, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then the door opened.
Yang Keer stood behind the door, called "Dad" to the man, and then let him into the house.
The man nodded, walked in, and when I saw this, I stepped out of the dark corner with a relieved look on my face.
Yang Keer didn't step on two boats, she was dedicated to me, and the man with the briefcase should be her father.
My heart became relieved, since Yang Ke'er thinks that it is inconvenient for me to meet her father now, then I will wait.
While thinking, I went downstairs, and coincidentally, when I got downstairs, I ran into the checkered man again, who was still driving the BMW and swept past me.
This guy should be Yang Keer's neighbor, seeing that he comes home so late every day, he should go somewhere to fool around.
Remembering the last time I taught him, his steps were vain, and his punching strength was pitiful, so I laughed in my heart, and secretly said that you are fooling around, but you must also know how to control it, if you do this every day, sooner or later you will die under the peony flowers.
Yang Keer's community is close to the city center, which is a relatively prosperous area, and I easily found a hotel nearby, paid 200 yuan, and I stayed there.
Not sure how many days her father will stay at her house this time?
Thinking like this, I fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, I went directly to the hospital, and in the ward, I saw Xu Ya.
She was sitting on her sick, frowning, her head down, concentrating on something, and when I walked over to see it, she immediately put away the drawing board and put it on her mouth.
"Brother Gao, you, are you here?" Xu Ya's demeanor was a little unnatural.
"I'm here, what are you drawing?" I asked with a smile.
"I just painted, and I didn't draw anything."
"Can I take a look?" I asked, just yesterday, Xu Ya said that she heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground at night, thinking about it, I always feel at ease, I always think that the sound is Uncle Zou wandering in front of her door.
He wanted to take Xu Ya away.
Xu Ya hesitated for a moment, slowly put down the drawing board, handed it to me, and whispered: "I don't know why, when I went to sleep last night, the image of this person always appeared in my mind, so I drew him from memory." ”
Knocking on her head, Xu Ya muttered to herself: "It's really strange, I've never seen this person, why does he appear in my mind?" ”
I stretched out my hand to take the painting and said with a smile: "Thoughtful, dreaming at night, you didn't see him in reality, maybe you saw him on TV, newspapers, magazines and other media, because of the deep impression he gave you, you naturally remembered it." ”
Xu Ya nodded, her frowning brows relaxed, and said, "What Brother Gao said to you makes sense, it's me who is mediocre and disturbs myself." ”
I lowered my head to look at the painting, thinking to myself, who can make Xu Ya remember, it can't be some Korean stars, right?
It stands to reason that at her age, she should also be a star-chaser, and it is not surprising that she likes some celebrities.
However, as soon as my eyes came into contact with the painting and saw the person in it, my hand shook and I almost threw the painting on the ground.
Xu Ya's painting is not a Korean star, but an old man, who is wearing a black dress, holding a cane in his hand, and his face is as thin as if there is nothing.
This is clearly Uncle Zou, but Xu Ya drew it with the picture in her mind, and she didn't really see him, so the painting was relatively vague.
"Brother Gao, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?"
Xu Ya was talking to me, I turned my head slowly, she was looking at me worriedly, I bent down and held her shoulders: "You really haven't seen this person in the painting?" ”
"No! Brother Gao, you hurt me. ”
I hurriedly let go of my hand, when Xu Ya was admitted to the hospital, it had been a while since Uncle Zou died, and it was impossible for them to meet.
What's more, Xu Ya wouldn't lie to me.
Uncle Zou will appear in her mind, does this mean that her death is approaching, and there are not many children left?
Thinking of this, I bent down again and looked at her seriously: "Remember what you said to me on the artificial lake in the park?" ”
"What do I say to you?" Xu Ya asked blankly.
"You told me that you won't be unable to think about it, even if it's not for yourself, for your mother, you will live well."
If Xu Ya had a strong desire to survive, then Uncle Zou would not have found her, and now Uncle Zou appeared in her mind, which can only show one point, although Xu Ya cheered herself up in her heart, but deep in her heart, she had world-weary thoughts.
"I said something like that, Brother Gao, what's wrong?"
"I want you to be able to walk the talk."
Xu Ya was silent, she lowered her head, and after a long while, she turned her head to look out the window, bit her lip and whispered: "That nasty doctor, he said that I am a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money I spend, I can't cure my illness." Is this a drag on my mother? ”
This is Xu Ya's innermost thoughts, she is conflicted, what should she do to make her mother live a little better.
But she had forgotten herself, and perhaps from the day she fell ill, she had put herself on the back burner.
"You come with me."
I pulled her off the hook, and I took her all the way down into the hospital garden.
In the garden, the trees are lush and green, the artificial lake is rippling, and the air is exceptionally fresh.
I took a deep breath, let go of Xu Ya's hand, and raised my head to look at the vast blue sky.
"It's a beautiful world, isn't it?"
Xu Ya nodded silently.
"Are you willing to leave, you are only 16 years old, there are still many beautiful things waiting for you in the future, put aside your mother, ask yourself, are you willing to leave?"
Xu Ya smiled bitterly: "Do I still have a future?" ”
"You have, as long as you are cured, there are many good things waiting for you."
"But can I be cured?"
This is the key, I reached out and patted her on the head, and said a little angrily: "Don't say such stupid things, of course your illness can be cured, didn't you say that you would believe me?" ”
He touched her head, pouted and said to me, "It hurts." ”
I smiled, this is what I want to see, due to the torture of the disease, Xu Ya is so sensible, on her, it is almost difficult to see her innocent side, and now, I see it.
However, I can enlighten her for a while, but not for a lifetime, Xu Ya's illness must be treated as soon as possible, and the only one who can save her is her uncle.
The last time I met her uncle, we broke up without a few words due to the sudden appearance of his wife.
This time, I dialed his phone number again.
After the phone rang a few times, it was connected, and Lao Yang over there asked, "Hey, who are you?" ”
"We met, I'm Xu Ya's doctor."
Lao Yang over there suddenly lost his voice, and after a while, a woman's voice sounded: "Why are you still looking for our Lao Yang?" Didn't we tell you very clearly last time, we won't have surgery, Xu Yan's girl is pitiful, but this is fate, and I can't complain about others. ”
"Hello, Auntie, I called this time, not to find my uncle, I came specifically to find you."
My sudden politeness made the woman stunned for a moment, and after a while, she asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for me?" ”
"There's something I want to talk to you about."
"What's the matter?"
"It's not convenient to talk about this matter on the phone, let's meet and talk about it in detail, is it okay?"
The woman hesitated, perhaps thinking of the food she had brought home from the restaurant, and finally she agreed.
I made an appointment in a secluded place this time, when Lao Yang saw me, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said to me embarrassedly: "Last time I ate, I didn't spend a penny, so I packed all the dishes on the table and went home, and this time I will invite you to eat......"
Before Lao Yang's words were finished, he was glared at fiercely by the woman next to him, and he was agitated and didn't say any more.
I smiled slightly, invited the two of them to sit down, and then said, "These are all trivial matters, uncle, don't take it to heart, please come over this time, I still hope that you will think about surgery." ”
"Don't think about it, I made it very clear last time, our old Yang will not have surgery." After the woman finished speaking, she stood up, and then she gestured to Lao Yang on the side with her eyes.
Lao Yang sat and didn't move, seeing this scene, the woman's face changed, and she said with a crying voice: "You want to save the girl of the Xu family, but have you considered our mother, in case you have three long and two short during the operation, how can you let our mother live?" ”
Listening to her words, Lao Yang glanced at me helplessly and slowly stood up.
The two of them were about to leave when I took out a black leather bag from under the table, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of the woman.
"Auntie, we are a regular hospital, so you don't have to worry about any accidents during the operation. This is a little bit of nutrition money for my uncle, if you think it's appropriate, please take it! ”
The woman is a greedy person, which can be seen from the fact that she takes away the food in the restaurant, and the greedy person is often very rich.
What I put in the black leather bag is the money that Sun Long gave me during this time, I originally planned to use it to buy a house for a down payment, but the money can be earned again, Xu Ya's illness cannot be delayed.
After hesitating for so many days, I finally made a decision to exchange the money Sun Long gave me for Xu Ya's life.
