Chapter 53: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Jingsheng woke up from his sleep and when he opened his eyes, he smelled the strong smell of disinfectant water in the hospital.
This is the military hospital, and Lu Jisheng was sent to a special care single ward after surgery. He had a severe muscle injury to his arm, which had been wrapped in bandages, and he also had a relatively serious abrasion on his forehead, which required daily dressings.
Jingsheng has been nursing by the bedside, and when he was tired, he moved a chair and slept on his stomach beside the bed for a while.
"You're awake!" A girl's voice sounded beside her.
Only then did Jing Sheng notice that there was another patient in the ward at some point. Like her, a girl moved a small chair and sat on the edge of the bed.
And the person lying on the hospital bed is Lu Jiwen.
Two patients lined up side by side in the ward.
"You are?" Jing Sheng looked at the girl and asked, she was not dressed like a doctor or nurse here.
"My name is Xue Ziyin, and I came with this person." She pointed to Lu Jiwen, who was lying asleep on the bed, "Hello, are you hungry?" I've got something to eat here. ”
"I'm not hungry. Thank you. ”
Grunt.
Jingsheng's stomach screamed out of place.
The atmosphere was awkward at one point.
Jing Sheng blushed and touched his stomach.
Xue Ziyin snickered, and then handed her a pack of compressed biscuits.
"Thank you." Jing Sheng took the biscuit with both hands and thanked her.
I heard Xue Ziyin mentioned Xue Ziyin when I was having dinner at Lu's house before, but I didn't expect to meet her here.
Jingsheng looked at Lu Jiwen on the hospital bed next door, he was also wearing colors and bandages.
Xue Ziyin wore a neat ponytail, thin and long legs, a high-end looking model face, and two sparkling eyes, looking at Jing Sheng curiously.
"I've introduced myself, it's your turn."
"Uh-oh." Jingsheng put down the biscuit in his hand, "My name is Chen Jingsheng, yes...... Well, it's a friend of Mr. Lu. ”
"Which Mr. Lu? There are two people with the surname Lu here. ”
"This one." Jing Sheng pointed to Lu Jisheng lying on the hospital bed. He was still in a coma and did not wake up.
Xue Ziyin's gaze rotated back and forth between Lu Jiwen and Lu Jisheng.
"Oh......" Xue Ziyin returned to her own small stool, "When we came, it was crowded outside, but they were happy, occupying a ward by themselves." Xue Ziyin said as she poked Lu Jiwen's face with her index finger.
"Not awake yet... Sleep like a pig, you'll be. ”
"Are there a lot of people out there?" Their wards are soundproofed and very quiet, and they are rarely disturbed by anyone other than the doctors and nurses.
Xue Ziyin held her chin with her hand, her expression was a little melancholy: "Yes, there are all patients outside, but it's miserable." It is said that many people died in the earthquake, and the government and the military were dispatched. ”
"By the way, the news should be on the air now." Xue Ziyin picked up the remote control on the bedside table and turned on the TV in the room.
I changed a few channels, and they were all talking about the earthquake in M City.
"At present, the death toll has risen to 137, and search and rescue efforts are ongoing. Our reporters have rushed to the scene as soon as possible to bring us the latest reports. ”
In the picture, a female reporter pointed the microphone at a man next to her who had just escaped from the disaster scene: "How did you escape?" How do you feel when the earthquake struck? ”
Liang Lihui took the microphone and said in a sad voice: "I escaped desperately with my wife and children, and my youngest son was almost crushed to death by the smashed table." He wiped the tears welling up in his eyes, "But my daughter wasn't so lucky...... I just want to get back to the scene now and dig her out with my own hands. ”
The female reporter also had a heartache and helplessness on her face when she heard his description: "So are you hurt?" Now that the government has sent the army to the rescue, do you feel it? ”
"I felt it, they saved me when I escaped. I'm thankful for them. At the same time, in order to repay their life-saving grace, I plan to donate 10 million in my own name to the earthquake and rescue workers, if nothing else, but to allow more people to be saved. ”
"At the same time, we also call on people from all walks of life to actively participate in the rescue in various ways, so that the affected people can feel the strength and kindness of the masses."
"Jingsheng ......" Xue Ziyin suddenly spoke, "There is a blood donation point in this hospital, let's wait to donate blood together." ”
Images from the scene of the earthquake were broadcast on television, with debris everywhere, people in disarray, and people crying in hugs and after the disaster.
"Okay." Jingsheng immediately agreed, "Let's go together." ”
Xue Ziyin turned around and smiled at Jing Sheng, and Jing Sheng also gave her a big smile back.
Both of them laughed together, with a little tears in their laughter, but also a little bit of happiness and sadness.
"We can escape......" Xue Ziyin looked at the TV screen and couldn't help crying, "It's good." ”
She sniffed hard, remembering the desperate crowd she had seen on the ground in the helicopter that night, wondering if they had been rescued later, and wondering if they would hate herself for leaving them behind.
Jing Sheng got up and walked over and hugged Xue Ziyin, and he couldn't help crying.
Xue Ziyin hugged Jingsheng's waist and finally cried: "We are saved......"
Jing Sheng also sniffed, tears swirled in her eyes a few times before falling, she stroked the back of Xue Ziyin's head and comforted her: "That's right, we survived." ”
Just as the two little girls were hugging each other, a man walked in.
He walked in under the guidance of two staff members, startling the two little girls.
The person who came was wearing a military uniform, with a row of medals pinned to his clothes, and his body walked straight with the wind, and he had a powerful aura that was not angry and self-threatening. He held a sandalwood-colored stick in his hand, pestle it on the ground, put his hands on the stick, and squinted his eyes at the people in the ward.
Jing Sheng and Xue Ziyin looked at each other, both surprised by the arrival of this guest.
"Who are you?" Jingsheng asked.
"This is the commander-in-chief of the military region, Mr. Lu Huaizhou." A staff member introduced, then turned to Lu Huaizhou and said, "These two came with the patient and stayed here to take care of the patient." ”
"You're Jiwen's father, aren't you?" Xue Ziyin asked, she had a little impression of the title of commander-in-chief.
Lu Huaizhou's eyes were serious and sharp, and he said in a stern voice, "What's your name?" ”
"I'm Xue Ziyin, and her name is Chen Jingsheng." Xue Ziyin was relatively bold and not afraid at all, "We are here to take care of these two patients." ”
Lu Huaizhou didn't speak again, but walked to the hospital bed to look at Lu Jisheng.
The staff member hurriedly followed: "Commander-in-chief, the best doctor in the military region has already examined them, and neither of them is in danger of life." The injury is a bit serious and will require at least a little more than a month of recuperation. ”
"What about that?" Lu Huaizhou glanced at Lu Jiwen who was lying next to him with his eyes.
"He only suffered a little skin injury and a lot of mental damage. But just rest for a few days. I can be discharged from the hospital in about a week. ”
"Hmm." Lu Huaizhou nodded.
The sound of high heels came from the doorway that was not closed.
A noble lady wearing a dark purple cheongsam and a white fluffy shawl walked in anxiously, as soon as she entered the door, she looked at the hospital bed, looked back and forth between the two beds, and finally came to the middle of the two beds, took Lu Jisheng's hand with one hand, and Lu Jiwen's with the other, and asked the staff: "How is my son!" Oh, you say it quickly! Why didn't they wake up! ”
"Madam, the two patients are not in danger of life, they are only a little injured, just rest for a while."
"What about the doctor? Why didn't you see the doctor coming? Is there no one guarding here? ”
"Madame......"
"Isn't this anyone here?" Lu Huaizhou pointed to Jing Sheng and Xue Ziyin, who were still standing together.
Only then did Bai Yunxi notice that there were two girls in the room.
The three women looked at each other, and everyone looked at each other with wide eyes.
Jingsheng and Xue Ziyin looked at each other, and then said to Bai Yunxi together, "Hello, Auntie." ”
Bai Yunxi looked at the two of them and was a little stunned, and paused for a while before saying, "Hello, hello." ”
Her attention is now on her two sons who are lying in a hospital bed.
She let go of Lu Jisheng and held Lu Jiwen's hand with both hands: "My little ancestor, you have to wake up early." I'm damn desperate......"
Lu Huaizhou snorted softly: "You know that you are petty." ”
Bai Yunxi did not show weakness: "What's wrong with spoiling him if you treat me?" Don't you also look at the big ones first? ”
"I'm different from you, I'm not partial, I look at it in the order of eldest and youngest."
"Oh, you can." Bai Yunxi rolled her eyes, and then put her face on Lu Jiwen's hand, "I can tell you, if my two sons can't be cured, I will demolish your hospital for you tomorrow." ”
"I'm afraid of death, you're the boss here, you can't afford to provoke it." Lu Huaizhou smiled and sighed.
Seeing the two of them arguing, Jing Sheng and Xue Ziyin looked at each other and snickered.
Lu Huaizhou knocked on the ground with a stick: "Okay, my son has also seen it, it's time to go back, don't make trouble here." ”
"What to urge, you are in a hurry." Bai Yunxi put Lu Jiwen's hand back on the bed, and then helped him stuff the quilt tightly.
Lu Huaizhou walked to the door with two staff members and waited.
Bai Yunxi turned to look at Lu Jisheng again, his injuries were relatively serious, and he was frowning all the time in a coma.
She reached out to help him straighten his brow. He gave him a deep look, then got up to leave.
Jing Sheng and Xue Ziyin saw that the two were leaving, so they also followed to the door to see them off: "Uncle and aunt, go slowly." ”
"Hmm." Lu Huaizhou nodded, regaining his majestic appearance.
"Oh yes!" Bai Yunxi walked to the door and turned back, and said to Jing Sheng and Xue Ziyin, "I forgot about you two, it's you who have been helping me take care of these two uneasy stinky boys." ”
She took out her wallet from her bag and drew two cards from it: "I came in a hurry today, and I didn't expect you to be here here, to give you this, and they will entrust it to you during this time." ”
Jingsheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, we ......"
"Okay Auntie, thank you Auntie." Xue Ziyin took the bank card handed over by Bai Yunxi with both hands, "I will definitely take a good look at him." ”
Jing Sheng looked at Xue Ziyin in surprise.
Xue Ziyin saw that Jingsheng was still stunned, and quickly poked her with her elbow.
"Take it." Bai Yunxi took Jing Sheng's hand and stuffed the card into her hand.
"I really don't..."
"Take it." Bai Yunxi said very sincerely, "It's hard for you to take care of him more." ”
"Thank you, Auntie......"
"Hmm." Bai Yunxi smiled lovingly, and then waved his hand at the two girls, "Then I'll go, you take this money to buy more food and clothes, and I'll come to see you next time I'm free." ”
"Okay."
"Auntie walks slowly."
"Uh-huh, bye-bye." Bai Yunxi took Lu Huaizhou's arm and walked out of the room.
The sound of high heels gradually faded away, and Jing Sheng and Xue Ziyin in the room looked at the card in their hands, covered their mouths and snickered at each other.
