Chapter 35: The First Acquaintance with the World (2)
With such a long road and such a cold wind, Wang Hao forgot how he held Chen Yan and waited for the ambulance to come, and only remembered that He Muzi arranged the hospitalization.
When he woke up, it was the next night, and the lights in the ICU operating room were still on.
Today was another cloudy day, the night sky was covered with thick clouds, and there were no stars or moon in sight. In the darkness, the operating room is like a huge stage, showing a dead silence behind the curtain call.
Everything is just an illusion, or a regret.
The noble, the vile, the brave, the cowardly, the sweet, the bitter, before and after, are no exceptions.
The reason why night is night is because there is no sun shining on the earth, they are like cities in the middle of the night, ready to move, only caring about the momentary bloom, not thinking about when the sun will rise tomorrow.
Chen Yan's parents held their heads and guarded the door, and Chen's father called with tears in his eyes: "How much money do you have...... Right...... Emergency...... I'll take care of the finances! Eventually, his voice was lowered and he choked up.
Wang Hao stood in the corridor for nearly five hours, he was already unconscious, completely numb, he found a chair to sit down, straight eyes, and waited quietly.
The light in the hallway poured down on him, splitting the thick, black cocoon like a sharp sword.
He stared blankly at the wall clock, the ticking monotonous sound seemed to be his only sustenance, but as the hour hand slowly moved, his gaze became more and more crystalline.
I don't know if it's tears or sweat, the clothes are soaked, Wang Hao didn't expect that it would be a whole night to wait.
When it was almost dawn, the doctor walked out of the operating room sweating profusely, Chen Yan's parents were the first to greet him, Wang Hao got up but was dizzy, and sat down on a chair.
The doctor was tired: "I'm still alive." ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's a matter of time, let's find a way to transfer to the hospital, but there should be no such medical conditions in China, her cause is really strange, and there is a tendency to continue to worsen, I can help you contact a hospital in the United States."
"But in the snowstorm weather in Kunchuan for the past few days, the highway has been closed, not to mention the airport." Father Chen hurriedly said: "Can you take a boat?" ”
"It's too bumpy, the patient's body can't bear it, and he will die on the road."
Father Chen said vigorously: "Doctor, this is my daughter inside, you have to let her hold it no matter what!" I can't kneel down for you! ”
Wang Hao's mobile phone vibrated in his pocket, it was given by He Muzi, and the security team looked for him, but he hung up directly.
He looked out the window, the snow was still falling, the wind was still blowing, the thunder was still splitting, and there had been an inexplicable snowstorm for days, and it didn't stop, just didn't stop.
There was silence in his ears, and he thought back to the past 100 days or so, and suddenly felt like a different world, recalling frame by frame, vividly, but like heaven and earth, a few years later.
He was so tired that he almost collapsed, but he didn't have the heart to sleep at all.
At noon again, after Chen Yan's second rescue, she was still not out of danger.
The idleness of the hospital building, those hard, cold, dull buildings now loom in a thick gray haze, and the sky seems lower than before, as if it is slowly squeezing the little juice left in the tall building.
Wang Hao's mobile phone vibrated again, he felt it out and wanted to hang up, looked at the notes, it was He Muzi, and the ghost made it connected.
"Scared the hell out of me." He Muzi let out a sigh, "I thought you were kidnapped!" The matter of your Chen Yan's transfer to the hospital has been raised, I have contacted the doctor privately, and I will help arrange the plane matter, and I will do my best. ”
"He Muzi—"
As soon as he spoke, He Muzi was stunned, she had never heard such a voice, hoarse, exhausted, like a ghost.
He Muzi was silent.
Wang Hao's lips and throat were dry, he didn't know what the He family had, but He Muzi said it, and for some reason he believed it: "Thank you." ”
There was a long silence, but He Muzi had no words.
"It's okay." He Muzi hung up, and said, "In this life, don't say thank you to me again." Because, this is what I owe you. ”
After the third rescue in the afternoon, Chen Yan was transferred to a high-risk ward, and the doctor did not even say "temporarily out of danger", only said that he should "observe closely".
Wang Hao looked at her through the glass, Chen Yan's face was as white as paper, even gray, without any vitality, her body was full of tubes, static, there was no fog on the respirator, only the gentle lines on the instrument.
Suddenly, strings of tears rolled down from his eyes, but the cry was clutched in his mouth, the desperately suppressed grief finally broke free from between his fingers, and a low but sharp cry gradually sounded in the narrow corridor, the voice was both sad and desperate.
Several times, he fainted from crying, and reached out to the man behind the glass, as if trying to touch the familiar and unfamiliar face of the other, and trying with all his might to grab her and pull her back from her terrible fate.
Finally, Wang Hao could no longer support his body, and slid on the ground with his back against the wall.
He Muzi drove to the hospital, came over and touched his hand, handed him a box lunch, and said hoarsely: "Wang Hao...... Grab a bit. ”
Wang Hao took it, the rice was cold, mixed with salty rai and unpleasant-smelling shredded meat.
He squatted down, bit the plastic bag on the disposable chopsticks, buried his head and began to eat, swallowing the entire box of lunch, and swallowing it cleanly.
After eating, he found a glass of water, drank the sedative prescribed by the doctor, turned around and walked downstairs and walked out of the hospital.
A fallen leaf frozen in the ice almost made him lose his mind, Wang Hao raised his head, as if the evergreen trees that were still lush yesterday had become slightly golden, and a gust of wind blew, and a few leaves fell.
Wang Hao stood by the evergreen tree at the entrance of the hospital in a daze, the wind was too strong, the brief silence before the blizzard, and after a while, snowflakes fell on his hair, he shook his head and walked back to the hospital.
Outside, the sky was overcast, and large dark clouds like lead were rolling in the sky, and deep in the clouds, the thunder could be faintly heard.
The wind was getting stronger, and the sand and pebbles on the road crackled against the doors and windows, and pedestrians were running briskly or pedaling hard, and a snowstorm seemed to be coming.
In the ward, Chen Yan slowly opened her eyes, and the sound of opening the door woke her up, her whole body was in pain, and she wanted to cry in pain, but she didn't have the strength to make a sound.
The doctor came to give her a routine examination, she was so tired that she wanted to close her eyes, but she suddenly opened them, and the isolation gown covered the doctor tightly, but her eyes were clearly shining.
Cold, tired, yet sharp, as if it could pierce the drunken light and penetrate into the other's body.
Chen Yan opened her mouth, unable to speak, and the mist on the respirator gushed out layer after layer.
At this moment, she seemed to be a dilapidated machine slowly starting, and even the creaking of rusty bearings was faintly discernible.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to see your jokes." The doctor stroked Chen Yan's forehead and said soothingly, "But I'm really surprised that you care about him so much, which makes me very distressed, do you say you're stupid?" ”
Chen Yan looked directly at the doctor coldly.
Soon, the doctor's soft gaze was replaced by fierceness, he grabbed Chen Yan's hand, and said word by word: "I just want you to understand that no matter how much you do for him, after all, you will find that in this world that makes people feel indifferent, the person who is most suitable for you will never be Wang Hao." The only one who can be by your side is me. ”
The mist on the respirator covered Chen Yan's lips, and her expression could not be seen.
"Chen Yan, you don't know how much I love you.
Chen Yan, you don't know how much I hate you.
Hehe, you take care of your injuries, and when I take care of his affairs, I'll come to you. ”
The doctor took one last look at her, smiled playfully, quickly got up, and turned away.
Wang Hao passed by a doctor in an isolation gown, the doctor had just come out of Chen Yan's ward, he subconsciously looked at the distant doctor in the corridor, and suddenly rushed towards the doctor.
The whole body was moved, and the doctor accelerated into the stairwell without looking back, which was the peak of visiting patients, and people came and went.
Wang Hao rushed to the stairwell, jumped over the railing and jumped down, the doctor was also agile, the two chased after each other in the crowded hospital, and the doctor knocked the patients and their families into screams.
Wang Hao was slowed down by the staggered patients, and when he ran out of the hospital gate, the doctor had already taken off his white coat and plain clothes and turned into the alley.
The alleys are intricate, with barbecue stalls, noodle stalls, small restaurants, and residents.
The two quickly chased and shuttled inside, there were too many clutter in the alley, and the other party was obviously familiar with the terrain, and gradually threw him away.
Wang Hao ran forward vigorously, crossed the alley, ran to the road, and saw a black unlicensed car parked at the intersection through the zebra crossing, with smoke burning in the driver's seat, the man put on sunglasses and a hat, and smiled like a cat and mouse at him.
The sidewalk lights turned red, and he ran towards the car, which was filled with people who extinguished their cigarettes and started the car.
Wang Hao flashed in front of the turning bus, his shoulder was slammed, the person stumbled a few times, and the bus braked suddenly.
The car on the side of the car had a bad vision, and he didn't have time to slow down, and crashed into Wang Hao, he jumped up agilely, stepped on the front cover of the car, and rolled over.
A row of cars braked sharply, and traffic was paralyzed.
The black car accelerated to the green light, Wang Hao jumped on the front cover of the moving car, and ran on the roof of a car.
The bamboo basket was empty, and he watched the car accelerate away, gritted his teeth fiercely, and kicked on the street lamp to vent his anger.
Large flakes of snow fell, like a glossy steel wire, there were countless small pits emitting white smoke on the road, the window was blurred, the sky was so low as if it was about to collapse, from time to time there was lightning unwillingly tore open the lead-black sky, after the dazzling flash, it was a tearing explosion.
Wang Hao sat on the bench in a daze, looking out the window, it was the rush hour after work, and the sound of human voices and car horns was loud. There was eagerness on everyone's face, perhaps looking forward to a simple or sumptuous dinner at home. Those hurried footsteps, turning wheels, carried them to dry slippers, soft rice, affectionate complaints, children's murmurs.
He watched the sky gradually darken, and felt weak all over.
Will that person survive it?
Chen Yan's attending doctor told Chen's father and mother that the patient had regained consciousness, but could not speak, and that he would have to wait for a while and allow his family to come in to visit.
After a long time, after Chen Yan's parents came out of the ward, they agreed to Wang Hao's request to go in to visit, and the doctor reminded her again: "Don't talk too much to her, every second the patient is awake is extremely painful." ”
Wang Hao walked to the side of the bed, Chen Yan closed his eyes, he looked very tired, he stroked her hand, about the uninvited guests in the hospital, he didn't want to pursue it now.
He looked at her face, and gradually, Chen Yan opened her eyes, just like the initial calm, Wang Hao trembled slightly.
Chen Yan looked at him for a long time and asked softly, "Have you been waiting for a long time?" ”
Wang Hao shook his head quietly: "It's just right." As soon as I come, you wake up. ”
Chen Yan smiled very lightly, the silence at the moment was already natural, she didn't say anything else, only stroked his hand, his fingers also moved, wanting to hold her back, but didn't dare to use force.
Chen Yan kept stroking, and she said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
Wang Hao said: "You said, when I pay you a salary and take you to eat delicious food, you must not forget." ”
Chen Yan looked at him quietly, did not move, the mist on the breathing mask was hazy, this big boy had never been enthusiastic, but he had a pair of gentle hands to pull her out of hell.
Suddenly, Chen Yan closed her eyes, her face turned pale, blood gushed out of her nose and splashed all over the oxygen mask, Wang Hao immediately got up and pressed the alarm on the head of the bed, pressed it hard, and looked down to see her blood flowing all over her neck.
The doctors and nurses arrived and pushed him out, and the curtain on the glass was instantly closed. Wang Hao stood outside the door with his back to him, his eyes wandering.
He heard the electrical sound of a pacemaker, and soon, the person was taken to the ICU operating room again. Wang Hao could only lean against the mottled gray wall, his hands trembling.
The minutes were unusually long, and his mind went blank as he stared at the endless blizzard outside the hallway.
In the early hours of the next morning, Wang Hao woke up from his chair in the hallway, walked to the huge glass window, and stared at the city that was about to wake up from his sleep. This is actually the darkest hour before dawn, the moon is setting in the west, the stars are dim, and the sun, which should be rising, is delayed.
He looked to the east, where there was a denser mass of buildings, towering indifferently, obscuring the horizon, and even when the sun rose, it would take a struggle to reveal the warmth and brilliance from behind the corners.
Under the dim light, the city outside the window is lighting up little by little.
When the doctor came out of the operating room, it was like a fierce battle, he said: "I have been a doctor all my life, and I have never seen such a hard life." ”
Wang Hao was worried.
