CHAPTER VI AM
Xia Beifeng squatted at the entrance of the hospital and smoked half a pack of cigarettes, and saw that the ambulance that had just driven away came back in a hurry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was followed by three cars that were considered luxuries in this era.
Several cars gathered together and blocked the entrance of the hospital for a while before they lined up and parked one by one.
A group of doctors and nurses pushed down a wrinkled, fat old man from the ambulance.
The old man had an oxygen mask on his face, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and he was breathing hard.
And then he was wheeled into the emergency room.
A group of well-dressed men and women streamed out of the car and followed the doctor, blocking the hallway.
Xia Beifeng took the last puff of his cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and followed them into the hospital slowly.
The red light in the operating room was still on, and the people inside didn't know whether they were dead or alive, and every time he looked at it, he couldn't help but be frightened for a while.
There was a strange atmosphere in the corridor, and the group of people who had followed the old man looked at each other defensively, but with anxious and concerned looks on their faces, they made a bunch of them, and seemed intimate.
Xia Beifeng slowly walked past them, sat on the bench next to the operating room, and stretched.
The old man who had just passed away was afraid that he would not live long.
He didn't even have a little soul breath on his body, and now he could still breathe but there were still some residual physiological reactions to support him, and the soul ...... I guess I've been reporting there a long time ago.
This group of people don't know what to wait for here, and if something happens to the old man, don't fight in the hospital.
Minutes and seconds passed.
There is no communication between the people gathered together, and the sight of several people is often fleeting. Occasionally, a man felt a cigarette, but before he could even light the fire, he was stopped by the stern eyes of the people around him.
The storm never stopped, but the sky was getting brighter.
By the time the street lights outside were turned off one after another, the snow on the ground had blocked half of the wheels of several cars at the door.
A doctor walked out of the emergency room.
The people in the hallway stared at him nervously.
The doctor took off his mask, sighed, and shook his head at them: "I guess I won't be able to last the afternoon, if you have anything to prepare, go quickly, and if you want to go in and see, take a look." ā
Everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
In the end, it was a woman in her forties who spoke, she stopped at the sound of an imminent turn, flicked the jade ring on her finger, and asked the doctor with a smile: "Excuse me, is our old man still conscious?" Can you still speak? ā
The doctor shook his head at her regretfully: "If you want to see it, just take a look, don't think about the rest." ā
The smile on the woman's face froze, nodded at the doctor, and turned sideways to let him pass.
"Look at anything, the old man is unconscious, it's useless to stay here, it's all gone!"
The woman tilted her chin and said to the group of people who were looking at her in the corridor: "Don't worry about anything anyone wants, if you don't want to leave, stay here and send the old man to the end......"
A young man muttered "I have something to do", and then pulled the young and beautiful girl next to him out of the hospital together.
A few more people followed in the footsteps of the young man and left the hospital, and at last there were only five people left at the emergency room door.
The woman took the lead and pushed open the door to the emergency room, and the other four people followed her, squeezing into the room together.
Silence returned to the hallway once again.
Xia Beifeng turned his head to look out the window, and the car parked in front of the hospital drove away, revealing most of the street.
Although the snow was still falling and the ground was covered with snow, the breakfast stall across the road was already set up.
Only then did he realize that he had stayed up all night, and he had experienced a time trip in between.
The moment I realized this, I felt tired, my muscles ached, and my brain, which had been tense all night, began to sink down.
Gray steam wafted from the breakfast stall across the road, and I didn't know what was cooking.
"Let's go get something to eat."
Xia Beifeng whispered to himself, and then turned his head to look at the operating room with a red light next to him, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
Does it take that long? What happened to the people inside?
Of course, I couldn't think of a reason for sitting like this, but the feeling of hunger became more and more obvious as time passed.
He touched his coat pocket, and after paying the money for the operation, Shen Yunxi's private money was probably more than two hundred yuan left.
I'm sorry, old man.
He said a word silently in his heart, took out a hundred-dollar bill, and walked towards the breakfast stall opposite the hospital.
A breakfast costs only two dollars, which is enough to feed a big man who has been hungry all night.
Xia Beifeng grabbed a handful of change that the breakfast stall owner had scraped together and returned to the corridor of the hospital.
The operating room is still unchanged.
A few people who were crowded in the emergency room before had already come out, except for the middle-aged woman who took the lead, who might still be in the ward, and the remaining three men and one woman had already occupied the three benches in the corridor far away, staring at each other back and forth.
At first glance, these people look very different in temperament, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there are still some subtle similarities in their facial features.
"Daddy really can't wake up?"
The woman with gold-rimmed glasses sniffed and took the initiative to ask, "Isn't there a general return to light or something?" Why didn't my dad wake up, I still want to hear my dad say a word again. ā
"Alright, don't pretend!"
The strong man sitting opposite her in a gold chain flower shirt with a meaty face rolled his eyes at the woman impatiently: "Who doesn't know your little thoughts!" Isn't it just that the old man spoils you the most, and wants to wait for him to wake up and share some good things with you, so that you can take them to raise your little white face. I'm telling you, don't count on it, he won't wake up! ā
"Can you speak with some quality!"
A man on the other side whispered, "Look at the tone you spoke in and the clothes you were wearing...... I'm ashamed to sit with you! ā
"Then it's not a shame for you to come out of a mother's womb with me!"
The strong man pointed to the man's nose and shouted loudly: "Have the courage to say this sentence again to my mother!" ā
The man shrunk his neck, rolled his eyes, and turned his head away.
The strong man waited for the man with a huff, his fists clenched and his face flushed.
It's six o'clock in the morning.
Xia Beifeng raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and looked at the operating room worriedly again.
The white door was tightly closed, and there was not a sound coming out of it.
Nor can I feel any breath - neither living nor dead.
If Xiao Tian was here, he would probably be able to tell how many people were in it at once.
He thought with regret. Then I realized the painful fact that the guy who could guess how many people and ghosts there were in it through the wall had not yet been born.
Gradually, there were more people in the hospital. Patients who get up early to see a doctor, family members who come to bring breakfast, doctors and nurses who work the morning shift......
The space filled with the smell of disinfectant is finally not as oppressive as it used to be.
More than half an hour later, the woman who remained in the ward also walked out with tears wiped from her eyes and red eyes.
"Dad really didn't realize it at all, and he couldn't wake up when he screamed. I've been inside for so long and haven't seen him move. ā
The woman said to the people in front of her in a hoarse voice, "How many of you are left?" Then wait here, it's all this time, don't fight around, otherwise Dad won't even be able to leave. ā
Several people looked at each other a few times, and all lowered their heads in silence, showing sad expressions, whether true or false.
"Shroud."
The big man in the flower shirt lowered his head and thought for a long time, holding back these two words.
The woman nodded, and suddenly said, "By the way, there are these, I'll put the money on first, and if any of you goes to buy something, you don't have to pay me back when you go back." ā
"This money has to be calculated so clearly, Dad really didn't raise you in vain! Eldest sister! ā
The man with glasses lifted the frame of his glasses and said with a slight sneer: "If the coffin hadn't been prepared a long time ago, wouldn't you still have to calculate the money to buy wood with us now!" ā
"Can't you just shut up first?"
The strong man glared at him angrily, took out a black "big brother" with a large turn from his waist, and lowered his head and pressed a string of numbers.
"Hey! Liangzi? If my old man is going to die, you can take you to personally prepare a set of things for me...... Yes, it doesn't matter how much it is, you want the best, you have to be fast, you want to buy it first, when is the big brother worse than your money! ā
He leaned over the phone for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and spit out: "Then go quickly, I will do it in the afternoon." ā
"I asked someone to buy it, and when they came, you remember to give money."
The strong man raised his head and said to the woman: "Don't worry, although these boys don't usually slip away, they still do a good job." ā
"That's good."
The woman nodded, sat down at the end of the bench far from them, and reached out to stroke her chest: "Alas, I'm tired to death." ā
Once again, there was a subtle silence between them.
The place where Xia Beifeng was sitting was not far from the woman, and he could even smell the smell of perfume wafting in the air on her body, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
I seem to have stumbled upon someone else's private matter?
He cautiously moved a little farther away, and wanted to take out his mobile phone to play a game for a while, but suddenly it occurred to him that if he took out his mobile phone now, he might be regarded as an alien onlooker.
The kind of thin, color-screened, touch-sensitive thing that moves hasn't been created in this era.
Forget it.
He sighed helplessly, and lowered his head to study the palm prints on his palm.
"Sir, are you waiting here for a patient in the operating room?"
The middle-aged man, who had never spoken among the five people, asked Xia Beifeng in a low voice, "What is the situation of the patients at home?" ā
"My sister, I gave birth to a baby overnight."
Xia Beifeng sighed, turned his head to the man and said, "I don't know what's going on, I'm worried about it." ā
"Sister?"
The man was surprised: "Just your mother's family is here, what about your brother-in-law's family?" ā
"Some time ago, I was on a business trip, and I couldn't come back in the heavy snow. Originally, he said that he would be able to come back the day before yesterday, but now he is still walking in the mountains. ā
"Oh, I see."
The man nodded and looked at him sympathetically: "One night is nothing. When my daughter-in-law gave birth, I was very annoyed waiting outside, giving birth for seven or eight hours, and then gave birth to a big fat boy. Don't worry, having a baby is not too dangerous, and your sister will definitely be safe for both mother and child. ā
"I hope so."
Mother and child safe?
That is to say.
Xia Beifeng smiled bitterly, shook his head and stopped talking.
The man wanted to say something more, but after seeing his ugly face, he pursed his lips and turned his head away.
"Is the old man really hopeless? Why don't you ask a master to take a look? ā
He thought for a while, and then proposed to the woman beside him: "I know a master who is very powerful, since the doctor said that there is no way, then we might as well believe in the things passed down by our ancestors." ā
"Second brother, what you said is really interesting."
The young woman shrieked and laughed, "Master? What, are you going to let him dance in the old man's hospital room? ā
This "second brother" looks like a businessman. Wearing a neat suit, it is difficult to hide his calculating atmosphere, smiling when he sees people, habitually bowing his head and bending down when he speaks, and turning his eyes from time to time, probably observing what the people around him are thinking at any time.
"Maybe this is amazing, that master is amazing, I've seen it with my own eyes......"
He spoke in a lower and lower voice under the fierce gaze of the strong man, and finally he could not hear what he was saying.
"You people like to do these useless things. With this kung fu, it is better to think about how many things the old man has that we don't know yet, and don't be able to understand when the time comes. ā
The strong man said angrily, and glared at the "second brother" again.
After the strong man finished speaking, the rest of the people did not say anything.
Probably because he was told that he had broken his heart, except for the strong man who spoke, the rest of the people all showed a little embarrassment and angry expressions on their faces.
"Actually......"
After a long time, the middle-aged woman who took the lead spoke up, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere in the air: "I think what the second child said also makes a little sense, those people ...... They can't save people, but maybe there's something they can do about it...... Ahem, the unconscious patient asks the words. ā
"If you just say that you can ask words from the mouth of a dead man, it's over!"
The strong man rolled his eyes, hugged his mobile phone and sneered: "Who doesn't know your thoughts!" As soon as my father dies, you will find a great dancer, draw a random ghost and order something, and then say that this is the old man's last wish, and you will leave everything to whoever you want...... Everyone else can wash and sleep, right? ā
"What do you think!"
The woman's eyes widened in surprise and she stumbled, "You." How did you. How can you say that about your sister! ā
"That's what it's supposed to be, and don't let people say what?"
"I'm here for ......"
The woman blushed, and before she could finish her words, she heard the cell phone in her bag ring.
She glared at the strong man viciously, took out her mobile phone, cleared her throat, and said to the other side: "Hey, hello! ā
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, and the expression on the woman's face gradually became confused.
"Mr. Ye? Who are you, Mr. Ye? I haven't heard of ......."
The sound of tiny crumbs of electricity came from the phone.
The woman's frowning brows gradually relaxed: "Oh, Mr. Ye! I remember...... That's right, my dad is in the hospital, how do you know? ā
"Oh oh, yes, come if you want to come and see, we're ......"
The woman reported the address of the hospital on the phone, listened for a while, and then put down the phone and glared at the younger brothers and sisters around her one by one.
"Dad's old comrades-in-arms don't know where they got the news, and they said that they were going to send someone to visit him and give him his last ride. You all give me seriousness, don't be embarrassed in front of outsiders! ā
The strong man straightened his waist slightly.
The "second brother" also nodded, and restrained the impatient expression on his face.
Even the men with glasses put on a social elite look.
As long as the young girl looked at the bright red nails on her fingers boredly, she replied in a long voice: "Yes-"
Xia Beifeng looked at the woman's bag with the phone, and couldn't help frowning.
Mr. Ye?
Old comrades-in-arms?
Don't know where you got the news?
He couldn't help but feel a little ominous premonition in his heart, but he was a little looking forward to it.
