I skillfully parked the car in the last parking space, turned off the engine, pushed the door open, picked up the breakfast I had bought and walked towards the building. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 I glanced at them and turned to walk towards the less crowded staircase.

My office is on the seventh floor, which isn't very high, but for me, climbing the seventh floor in one breath is enough for me to catch my breath. I dragged my stiff body, driven by my sore legs, and moved step by step to the door of the office. Looking down from the upper floor, the elevator entrance is more crowded than before. I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart, took out my mobile phone and glanced at it, and said in my heart: It's already 7:50, you lazy people all have to be late, and only the most diligent employees will insist on climbing the stairs to work.

I hummed a song, pulled out the pancakes I bought on the side of the road from my bag, and grabbed the ten minutes before going to work, leaning on the railing and eating while looking down.

The people in front of the elevator suddenly let out a commotion, and they rushed up the stairs with their legs as fast as they could, looking like a group of zombies seeing fresh brains.

I shook my head, swallowed the last bite of the pancake, and turned my head to find my colleague Wang Linshuo standing behind me looking at me with strange eyes: "What are you doing standing here?" If you don't check in, you'll be late. The elevator broke down, I ran up the stairs, fortunately not late. ”

He pulled me over to the punch card machine and pressed my fingerprints. I sighed: "When everything is not normal, the punch card machine is always normal." ”

Wang Linshuo said: "What's more, today is still Monday."

I made a devastated expression and sat down in front of my computer, ready to write a copy that had been dragging on for a long time. But the phone suddenly rang at an inopportune time, and eerie horror movie music flowed in the office that had just quieted down.

I grabbed my phone, gave an embarrassed smile to the people who were looking at me, glared at Wang Linshuo, who was grinning widely, and trotted out of the office before I had a chance to look down at my phone.

It's my dad's phone. I thought it might be for me to come back from work and buy something or something, but I didn't think much about it, and I answered the phone easily.

"Zhang Xuan, hurry up and come to the Second Hospital, your uncle is sick!"

What the? My heart skipped a beat, wondering if I hadn't had a problem with my ears for too long. My uncle has always been in good health and has never had any serious illness, what is it that makes my dad call me so urgently?

I didn't hear my voice over there, I screamed several times, and I didn't recover from his words, so I put my phone in my ear and asked, "What's wrong with my uncle, what's the disease?" ”

My dad hesitated when he heard my words: "You, don't ask yet, come over quickly, remember, it's the Second Provincial Hospital!" Also, don't be in a hurry while you're driving. ”

I snapped the phone, shoved it into my trouser pocket, ran back to the office, grabbed the keys and left. I felt my legs go limp, and I almost tripped over a chair and fell to the floor. Wang Linshuo saw that my face was wrong, and wanted to ask me what was going on, but I couldn't care so much anymore, so he left a sentence to help me ask for a leave and ran towards the stairs.

Along the way, my mind was in a mess, and I kept guessing about my uncle's illness, but the more I thought about it, the more alarmed I became. Even though the air conditioner was on in the car, my sweat was densely covered in my head. I've never hated red lights so much, and when I see a jaywalking guy who doesn't drive well, I can't wait to greet his 19th generation ancestors. Fortunately, the company is not too far from the hospital, and there are not too many red lights and bears along the way, so I found a parking space downstairs in the hospital within fifteen minutes.

I called my dad as I ran towards the hospital gate and learned that my uncle was at 603. I ran so fast that the fire in my heart was about to rush to the top of my head, and I couldn't breathe evenly, and my head hurt faintly.

I scolded my mother for pulling a slap, so I had to slow down, get out of the elevator with my head up, and look for them one by one.

My dad was standing at the door of 603, and I saw him from afar, wearing a blue coat and a slight hunchback. I walked over to him quickly and said eagerly, "How is my uncle?" ”

My dad let out a long sigh, grabbed me and said, "You have to be prepared......"

I felt like five thunderbolts were thundering, and my whole brain became chaotic, and I thought to myself, could it be cancer? Then my dad continued, "Your uncle's illness ...... It's weird. His stomach hurt to death, and he said that his whole stomach felt like it was burned, but the doctor said there was nothing wrong with his stomach. ”

I couldn't quite understand his words all of a sudden, and I couldn't help but sigh. I was ready to hear the bad news about leukemia, lung cancer, liver cancer, etc., who knew that I would hear such a sentence. I couldn't help but have a thought in my head: Could it be that he had fallen into evil and had to go to the village to ask for a dancing god?

My dad saw that the expression on my face was changing and that his face was long enough to reach his chest, so he said to me, "You can go and see it first." ”

I nodded my head mechanically, then pushed the door open, and the dark crowd of people in the room gathered around a bed, men, women, old and young, turned to me together.

I nodded at their greetings and ran to the hospital bed without even squeezing out a stiff smile.

A man in a blue-and-white striped hospital gown was lying facing the wall, the skin on the back of his neck looking dark and loose, his waist sunken, and his loose clothes could not hide his emaciation.

The man in front of me is so far from the sturdy uncle I remember who would play basketball every day. Suspicious, I gently reached out and shook the patient in front of me.

He coughed twice, and then turned over with difficulty, like a fish that had been dehydrated for a long time. As soon as I saw his face, I almost exclaimed, my heart was pounded, and my nose began to sour.

Uncle's face was pale, there was no trace of blood on his cheeks, his eyes were sunken, his eyeballs turned slowly and dryly in his sockets, and he said in a dumb voice: "Xiao Xuan...... There you are. ”

It's okay that he didn't speak, I don't know what's going on, as soon as he opened his mouth, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, I really couldn't connect this person with the memory of him riding a bicycle and laughing loudly with me.

I didn't want to cry in front of my relatives, and I didn't want my uncle to see me like this. I took a deep breath, tried to hold back the tears, tried to think of the funniest joke I'd ever seen, controlled my voice from appearing unusual, and slowly said, "You lie down first, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

After saying that, I stood up in a hurry, turned my back and opened the door, and tears flowed uncontrollably. My mind went blank, so I sat down in a random chair and lit a cigarette, but my hands trembled and I couldn't light a fire.

In the blur, I felt that someone was sitting next to me, and the cigarette in my hand was snatched away. I didn't have the strength to see who it was, so I sat on the bench with my head in my hands, until the man touched my shoulder and handed me something:

"Don't be too upset, maybe you've provoked something, go back to your hometown and see if you can do it. It's the first time I've encountered such a strange illness of yours, look at it, this is your uncle's CT film, it's a complete stomach. The doctor checked elsewhere and found nothing. ”

I looked up at the other person, and judging by what she was wearing, it was a nurse in a hospital.

I squeezed out an ugly wry smile: "Thank you." ”

I took the film she handed over, glanced at it, it was black and gray, and I couldn't read it, so I handed it back irritably, but she didn't take what I was holding for a long time, and let my hand hang in the air.

"Huh?" I screamed and looked up, only to find her looking straight at me with big eyes, I was startled by her, reflexively shrank back, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The little nurse said solemnly: "You are really sad and stupid." You don't even have a good look at your uncle's CT films, and you can claim to care about him. You didn't listen to my first sentence well, a normal nurse would not give this kind of advice to a patient's family. ”

I was only a little clearer at this time, and after thinking about what her first sentence was for a long time, I blinked my eyes countless times and finally remembered, and hurriedly turned to her direction: "Then what do you say should be done?" ”

The corners of the little nurse's mouth curled: "I'm not a doctor, I don't know." ”

After saying this, she stood up straight, and walked as fast as she could, and I hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Hey—don't go!" ”
