It took about thirty minutes for the bus to stop at my friend's house, and although it hadn't been here for at least a few months, it hadn't changed in the slightest.

My friend's name is Qinglan, and I am the same age as her, and I am of the same nationality. We knew each other in a special case, her relative's daughter was hospitalized with an illness and was living in a bed that my brother had used. The little girl picked up my brother's cat doll under the bed, and Haruman found me through the doctor and gave me back the doll, and that's how we got to know me.

Although I don't have much contact with her because we are both busy, I think she is quite nice and can be regarded as my favorite friend.

The two-story house of the Haruran family is very simple on the outside, and the garden is surrounded by tall trees, so you can't see anything from the outside, but I know it's very beautiful inside.

This is a strange point to me, such a house is expensive, but Qinglan's clothing and gestures don't look like a rich person at all. Her hands, in particular, were rough as if they were ten years older than her age.

I rang the doorbell a few times, but no one responded, and I was secretly sighing that my luck was really bad, when the door suddenly opened, and the people inside ran out laughing, "Good news! ”

It's Haruarashi.

Her appearance is not a great beauty, but she is very smart, and she has a lively and clever personality, so she is especially like the little fairy in the story.

She stood in the doorway for a moment, then ran towards me, and at the same time, the garden door opened automatically. I hurried in, and by this time she had come to me, took my arms with both hands, and said happily, "You have finally appeared!" Where have you been lately? Why is there no news at all? ”

I said, "I got sick, had an operation, and stayed in the hospital. ”

She immediately let go of her hand and asked, "Where did the surgery take place?" I'm sorry, I shook you, I was too reckless. ”

"It's all right, I'm ......," I said, and I couldn't help but stop when I saw a tall figure suddenly come out of her house. This figure ...... It can't be Li Yu, right?

Qinglan blinked and looked at me, followed my gaze behind her, and immediately said, "Jiayin, this is my brother-in-law, his surname is Meng, and his name is Meng Jiancong." You haven't seen him before because he just didn't come. ”

I whispered, "Brother-in-law?" ”

I remember Qinglan once told me that her sister and brother-in-law had died, and I thought that my memory was not bad, so I should be not mistaken.

Sure enough, Qinglan's expression was a little uncomfortable, and she whispered, "I'll tell you slowly, and now I'll call him brother-in-law." ”

When the two of us said these two sentences, Meng Jiancong had already come to us, he was handsome, although his expression was detached but not cold, he smiled at me and said, "Miss Song, hello." I'm Meng Jiancong. ”

I held out my hand to him and said, "Hello." When he reached out and shook mine, I asked, "You...... Do you know me too? ”

Meng Jiancong said: "It was Lan Lan who told me before opening the door. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, I was afraid that he would also say that he was the brother of someone I had offended, and that I would be too unlucky.

Qinglan led me into the room, Meng Jiancong went to the water with her for me, sat down and chatted about some conversations with no content at all, and Meng Jiancong left under the pretext of having something.

Qinglan didn't go to see him off because she wanted to accompany me, and when I saw her eyes staring at his back, I couldn't help coughing lightly and whispered, "It's so obvious." ”

She immediately covered her face and asked, "Is there one?" ”

This time, it was my turn to be embarrassed and say, "You won't really ......"

"I like him." She sighed and said, "It's not a secret for a long time. It's just that you haven't seen him before, so I didn't tell you. ”

Now I was even more embarrassed, "Isn't he your brother-in-law?" ”

She shook her head, "My sister wasn't married to him, but they were together. I didn't know what to call him, so I had to call him brother-in-law. ”

I said, "Hello, Ah Zi." ”

She paused for a moment, then immediately hit me lightly and said, "Hey! How can I be so bad! ”

"I'm kidding," I said with a laugh, "that you're calling him brother-in-law, and that's giving up the possibility of being with him?" ”

Qinglan nodded and said, "Of course. ”

I don't talk to her much about her feelings, so that's the end of the topic.

Then she started asking me about my condition, and when I lied that I had broken my rib and had been hospitalized recently, she asked, "Then why didn't your husband send you here?" Do you want to come alone? ”

"I'm ...... with him" As a friend, I don't want to lie to her too much, but I really can't say anything about everything between me and Li Yu, I can only say: "I will divorce him soon." ”

"Why?" After she asked, seeing that I wanted to stop talking, she immediately lowered her voice sneakily, "Is it because you still can't like him?" ”

It's really nice that she thinks so, and I said, "Well......."

She sighed and said, "When you first got married, I thought it was very hasty, because he married him when he had money, and this reason is simply perfunctory. ”

Regarding the fact that I like Luo Rin, except for Luo Rin, probably everyone knows very well. So at that time, Qinglan asked me, of course I can't say the real reason, so I made up such one.

After a few more conversations on this topic, Qinglan saw that I was not interested, so she didn't ask any more.

After that, Qinglan treated me to something to eat, and we chatted about some recent news gossip. Although she welcomed me warmly, she inadvertently seemed a little preoccupied.

I thought that since she was hiding, she just didn't want me to ask, so I didn't ask her.

However, just halfway through eating, she suddenly received a phone call, and after listening to a few words, her expression became panicked. After hanging up the phone, she said to me, "I need to go to the hospital immediately, Qingqing's condition has deteriorated." ”

Qingqing is the daughter of Qinglan's relatives, I used to know that she was hospitalized, once I heard that she was discharged, I thought her body was completely healed, and I haven't asked again, and Qinglan hasn't told me about it.

The matter was urgent, and I hurriedly went to the hospital with Qinglan. On the road, she never spoke, frowning, tears in her eyes.

I totally understand how she felt at the moment, because I had signed my brother's critical illness notice countless times, and my hands were shaking at that moment, and I was so scared that I would lose him. I was afraid that he would die later, but I felt a sad sense of relief.

We quickly rushed to the hospital, where a doctor was waiting for Qinglan and said to her, "She has another infection, and although she is doing her best to save her, the situation is not optimistic." ”

Qinglan nodded, her face as dead as ashes, and slowly signed the critical illness notice.

I helped her out of the doctor's office and sat down on a bench in the hallway.

She was stunned for a while, and then she regained her senses and said, "Thank you for coming with me." ”

I asked, "Isn't Qingqing's illness cured?" Or is there something wrong with her? ”

She was silent for a long time before she bit her lip and whispered, "Qingqing is not sick. ”

I asked, "What's that?" Did someone bully her? ”

There was silence again.

I didn't ask because I knew that answering my question would be very difficult for her at the moment.

After a long time, Qinglan spoke: "My brother-in-law's family has always been patriarchal, especially his mother, who believes in a strange method, saying that as long as the first daughter is put with a steel needle, the next child must be a man. ”

I couldn't help but cover my mouth.

Qinglan confirmed my doubts with her eyes and said, "By the time my sister found out, Qingqing's body had already been pierced with more than a dozen steel needles. My sister had an argument with my brother-in-law's mother over this, and my brother-in-law has always been the only one to me...... He hit my sister. ”

"And then?" I couldn't help but blurt out.

She didn't answer directly, but said: "Over the years, I have been taking Qingqing around for medical treatment, and I have taken out six of them, and the rest of them are in very bad positions, and the doctors say that the operation is too complicated, and Qingqing is too small, and the probability of failure is very high." But they always cause infections in Qingqing's body, and then a series of complications. If she hadn't had surgery, she wouldn't have lasted long. At this point, she covered her face and began to cry.

It was so sudden and terrible for me that my mind froze for a moment before I asked, "What about it......?" Is this the case incurable, or is there not enough doctors here? ”

"I haven't tried a better hospital," Qinglan said. ”

This hospital is where my brother lived, and frankly, although the doctors are very good, the standard of medical care here is really not high.

I know all about better hospitals and better doctors, it's just ...... That's right, it's all with Li Yu.

Actually, the matter of my running away has become very ridiculous, I originally went to Chi Fengmin's house, but I couldn't pay myself to euphemize him, and now I'm gone, I want to know that I have nowhere to go next.

I was in a state of hesitation, and at this moment, the door of the emergency room opened, and the doctors pushed the patient out, Qinglan hurriedly followed, and I followed behind, all the way to the ICU.

Qinglan panicked again, and kept asking the doctor how Qingqing was.

The doctor said: "Your daughter still needs to be observed, but even if she is rescued this time, her infections will only become more frequent, more severe, and the damage to various organs will be more serious, and a decision needs to be made as soon as possible." ”

Doctors told Qinglan that they predicted that the success rate of the operation was no more than half, which is really low for a life. So I excused myself to go to the bathroom, took out my mobile phone, opened it, and there were a lot of text messages from Chi Fengmin. This mobile phone number is only known to Li Yu, and it seems that Chi Fengmin peeked at my mobile phone while I was asleep.

I waited for a while for the phone to regain its calm, a total of 1,386 text messages, I pressed the clear button, suddenly felt a lot refreshed, with memory, dialed Li Yu's mobile phone number.
