Chapter 2 Half-Father
Seeing the worry on his mother's face, He Wei seemed to understand something in his heart, smiled bitterly, and hurriedly comforted in a low voice: "Okay, okay, don't be sad Mom, I know my current situation." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info And how much does our family owe to others? Why do so many people come to collect debts? ”
"Owed money? No, our family doesn't owe money to others, who told you. ”
"Then what did those people do here before, I listened to their words to reveal whispers, really not here to ask for money?" He Wei looked at his mother with a puzzled gaze.
"Kid, don't think about it, our family really doesn't owe anyone money. Recuperate with peace of mind, you can be discharged from the hospital when you are cured, and after eight years, the nightmare is finally over. ”
His mother walked out of the ward without looking back, looking at the old figure, He Wei's eyes were full of tears, and most importantly, he was powerless now, and in this long nightmare, he actually became a cripple.
After a few hours, it was already dark outside the window, and it was already evening. A stranger pushed open the door from outside the ward and walked in, carrying two convenience boxes in his hands, walked to the head of the bed with light steps, looked at He Wei who was closing his eyes on the hospital bed, and said, "Your mother sent it, eat it quickly, she is at work and has no time to take care of you." ”
Hearing such a heavy voice, He Wei slowly opened his eyes, and his vision showed a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, wearing a red vest, with sallow skin and some dust in his hair, like a worker at a construction site.
"May I ask who you are?" He Wei asked.
The middle-aged man didn't speak, just lowered his head and smiled slightly. He took out half a pack of cheap cigarettes from his pocket, took out a crumpled box of matches with his other hand, and with a slight stroke, lit the half-cut cigarette in his mouth.
Judging by his every move, he looks like a very stingy person, and he is reluctant to buy even a lighter. The middle-aged man took a deep breath, stuffed the lit half-cigarette back into the cigarette case, put on a paralyzed face and looked at He Wei, without saying a word, and after a few seconds, he turned around and left the door.
"Wait......" He Wei suddenly shouted at the departing figure.
After the Zhongnan man heard the voice, he stopped, turned to look at him, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Thank you!" He Wei smiled at him.
Although the middle-aged man didn't say half a word, the corners of his mouth wiped and he smiled at him slightly, but his smile seemed very unnatural, as if he was forcing himself to laugh, and then turned to leave.
He Wei watched the tall figure disappear from view, and then looked down at the lunch box he had just received in his hand, and sniffed it gently before holding it to his nose, and there was no fragrance of food in it, which made He Wei feel very curious at once, and wanted to know what was inside.
Stretched out his hand to open it, only to find that most of the lunch box was full of white rice, covered with a few green vegetable leaves, and it was already cold, no wonder I couldn't smell the slightest smell of vegetables, because in addition to a few vegetable leaves, it was white rice, which felt quite shabby to eat.
When He Wei saw these things in front of him, he had no appetite at all, not only did he not have an appetite when he saw these, but at this time, even if he saw the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he couldn't arouse his appetite at all. I just picked up a few vegetable leaves with chopsticks, sucked up some of the oil and water on them with my mouth, and threw the whole lunch box on the table next to the bed.
And he was lying on the bed, smelling the pungent smell of the potion and couldn't sleep at all, tossing and turning for a long time, and finally he couldn't bear it, so he could only drag his tired body to crawl under the bed, support the ground with his hands, and slowly crawl out of the ward.
The hallway outside the door was lit up, but it was so deserted that no one could be seen. He Wei crawled alone on the cold ground, like a cockroach that had just crawled out of a sewer pipe.
He Wei dragged his body to the gate of the hospital and came outside to take a deep breath of fresh air, but he didn't know what's wrong, as soon as he smelled the air, he suddenly felt very nauseous, and his stomach was like thousands of cockroaches crawling inside, making a "zig" sound.
However, there was another smell in the air, which made He Wei's body feel a little comfortable, and he followed the breath that came from not far away, and crawled in that direction.
At the same time, the smell became stronger and stronger, a disgusting stench enveloped his entire body, and the stronger the smell, the faster he crawled, the more he climbed like a live cockroach, shuttling through the dark road.
Suddenly, a boxy metal hut appeared in front of him, with two golden signs pasted on the left and right of the door, each of which depicted a simple villain shape, divided into a man and a woman.
It is conceivable that the previous stench must have emanated from here, and although the big iron doors on both sides were closed, they still couldn't hide the disgusting smell.
He Wei's emotions became more and more excited, and he stretched out his hand to open the door and went down the stairs. I saw that all corners of the inside were dirty, and there was a small pit more than ten centimeters long in the middle.
But He Wei was not afraid of everything in front of him, but liked to stay in this small space even more, in which, it was like entering a wonderful fairy tale world, which made him particularly intoxicated.
He just closed the door and did not circulate with the air outside. In this way, I stayed in it all night, with cockroaches as companions, and deep pits as friends, lying in it and sleeping soundly, and my dream saliva was about to flow down from the corners of my mouth.
It wasn't until the next morning that a beautiful young nurse in white hurried to the public toilet outside, opened the door, and found a young man lying inside. But she didn't feel surprised, naively thinking that the patient was exhausted when he went to the toilet and accidentally fainted, because this kind of thing often happens in hospitals, so she doesn't feel half frightened.
However, seeing the scene in front of her, the nurse immediately ran to the hospital, called several doctors in white coats from inside, carried him back to the hospital ward, and gave him a hanging bottle and fed him some gruel.
After a long time, He Wei lay on the bed, once again choked on the strong smell of the potion, and as soon as he turned over, he rolled round from the hospital bed to the ground, coughing in his throat and a dull pain in his throat.
He Wei slowly opened his eyes and saw countless fireflies flying around the ceiling in front of him, and after a few seconds, those fireflies disappeared into thin air. He turned around and found that he was lying on the floor under the bed, he gritted his teeth, supported the ground with one hand, and lay on the head of the bed with the other, desperately supporting his whole body with one leg, and finally just stood up, the soles of his feet suddenly slipped and rolled to the ground.
At this moment, he faintly heard the conversation between two women outside the door.
"After a while, I will remember to pay all the money and go to the first floor to go through the discharge procedures, his body is no longer in serious trouble, and he can be discharged."
"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor, I'll go down and pay in a moment."
Soon after, a gray-haired woman walked in outside the door, who looked to be less than fifty years old, her face was covered with wrinkles like a fishline, and her legs were still a little trembling when she walked, and she was unsteady from side to side, it was He Wei's mother.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw He Wei lying stiffly on the floor, his two eyes widened, his body did not move, he hurriedly went up to help him up, and sighed in a low voice: "Silly boy, why don't you squeak, are you hurt?" ”
He Wei's lips trembled a little, his face was pale, and it seemed difficult to speak, and the two dead fish eyes stared at the ceiling without moving, and his expression was very stiff.
Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, the mother immediately ran outside and called a few nurses, but after a check, He Wei's body did not find any abnormalities, and the nurses just told her that she might have been frightened and contracted some cold, and that it would be good to go home and recuperate for a while.
Then the doctor prescribed him a few pairs of medicines, and told her mother to take them on time, and he would be fine in a few days. Soon, He Wei was carried into a taxi and sent home.
As soon as he arrived at home, he was put in the bedroom, which happened to be very close to the bathroom, and as soon as He Wei smelled this, he immediately got up from the bed, his breathing became smoother, and he felt full of vitality all over his body.
At first glance, He Wei saw a walking stick placed next to the bed, shining in the sunlight outside the window, it looked like it was made of metal materials, and the price of such a walking stick should be very expensive.
Looking around, the walls were plastered with cartoon portraits, and the ceiling was hung with strings of shiny bells, and when I looked down at the bed, I saw that even the pillow was in the shape of a doll, like a girl's bedroom.
He Wei reached out and picked up the crutches, helped it to walk slowly to the bathroom, took a few deep breaths, felt refreshed in his nose, felt much better, not as uncomfortable as before.
"Xiaowei, are you awake? Come and eat in the living room. ”
Hearing a familiar voice behind him, He Wei turned his head to see that it was his mother, and he immediately replied slowly: "Okay, I'll come right away." ”
He Wei held the crutches in his hand and staggered towards the living room, but he found that as long as he was far away from the bathroom, his breathing would be very difficult, and he could not adapt to the outside air at all, and his eyes were becoming more and more confused.
In the end, I really had no choice but to go back to the toilet, find a rag for cleaning the bathroom from it, cover my face, and then walk out with a shaking.
When he came to the living room, he found that in addition to his mother, there was another stranger at the dining table, this person he had seen in the hospital before, still the red vest, dirty hair, sitting at the dining table with half a cigarette in his mouth, and a bottle of high-strength liquor on the side of the table.
He Wei was stunned for a moment, and looked at the middle-aged man dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, Xiao Wei, what are you doing with a rag covering your face? Grab it and eat it. ”
He Wei slowly stepped forward and said, "No, my teeth are a little sore, so be it, it's good." ”
The middle-aged man didn't look at He Wei, but deliberately twisted his head to the side, revealing a sad expression, and continued to drink his glass of white wine.
"That's not good, just bring a mask if you have a toothache, you don't look like a ghost."
He Wei's mother insisted that he take off the rag on his face, but He Wei was always unwilling and insisted on taking him with him, and finally his mother couldn't do anything about him, so he didn't say a few words.
There were a few plates of very shabby vegetables on the table, and he couldn't even see a little oily, He Weiqi glanced at it, and felt very unappetizing when he couldn't see the oiliness, and said in a low voice: "I'm not hungry for the time being, let's eat it later." ”
After speaking, He Wei turned around and walked into the bedroom, but just a few steps away, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke, his tone was very heavy, he turned his head to the air and said, "You sleep on the sofa tonight, there is no bedroom for you at home." ”
When He Wei heard the voice, he was a little confused, glanced back at the middle-aged man, and asked, "Are you talking to me?" ”
"Well, that bedroom belongs to my daughter, it's just for you to sleep for a while, don't keep drilling into that bedroom if it's okay in the future." The middle-aged man said while smoking a cigarette.
"You are an old immortal, so why are you more serious, isn't he your son? It's like an outsider. The mother kept blaming the middle-aged man.
Hearing their conversation, He Wei finally understood in his heart, he didn't say a word, just smiled, turned around and walked to the kitchen, he should have wanted to see if there was vegetable oil in the kitchen, and wanted to drink a sip or two.
But just after walking a few steps, the middle-aged man spoke again: "There is nothing to eat in the kitchen, don't look at it, this family is so poor, you are so old, you have to be self-reliant, don't always count on the family in the future." ”
At this time, He Wei finally couldn't help it, and there was an inexplicable anger in his heart that rushed to the top of his head, and said loudly in a heavy tone: "Bastard, I won't eat your things, I'll walk out of this house tomorrow." ”
"There's a kind of you who leave now, don't take half a step into this door in the future, you broom star." The middle-aged man said to him in a very calm tone, and he didn't look at He Wei from beginning to end.
At this time, the mother suddenly reached out and touched the middle-aged man's arm, and said angrily: "What do you old thing say? He's my son, and he's your son, can't you say something nice? ”
After speaking, the mother turned her head again, looked at He Wei with a smile, and said, "Your father is joking with you, he is so virtuous, don't take it to heart." ”
"I don't even know him, how can he be my dad? He's not my dad. He Wei unconsciously spread a few tears in his pupils, which were contained in his eyes.
"I don't have his son." The middle-aged man replied angrily.
But at this moment, a girl suddenly rushed in from outside the door, dressed in a brand new school uniform and carrying a small school bag, and bounced back home.
When He Wei saw the girl in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, and shouted, "Xia ....... Summer, how are you. ”
