Chapter Ninety-Seven: Determination (I)
I sat in the corridor of the hospital, my fingers crossed, my chin on crutch, my body wrapped in the smell of the hospital's disinfectant water, and the sky was getting brighter outside the window at the end of the corridor.
I sat all night.
No sleeping, no talking.
Sometimes I am very scared of the hospital, because of the special surname of this place, most of us are born here, and most of us die here, it is like a transit point, or a small world, where some people rejoice and some people cry, and among them, I don't seem to find my place, I don't know if I should rejoice or grieve.
Su Yidan still hasn't woken up, it's been a whole day, but the doctor didn't find out that there was anything wrong with her, only found out that she was quite seriously malnourished, and even a doctor suspected her of pretending to be dizzy.
Although the old man's injury looks more serious than Su Yidan, but he is much luckier than Su Yidan, after the bone, put on the steel nail plaster, he has already recovered his senses, Dao An accompanied me last night, he was also injured, and he also suffered from the strange yin qi, although he was protected by Tianlu Tu, but after a day, he began to have a low-grade fever, and the wounds all over his body were swollen, and it was really not suitable to stay any longer, so I asked him to go back to rest.
The taste of staying up late was like sleepwalking, there were other people in the ward to rest, and I didn't want to leave, so I had to sit in the hallway, watching the night go away, dawn approaching, but I didn't know what to think in my heart, it was just blank.
I actually didn't dare to think about it, during this day, I had forcibly suppressed many thoughts, I didn't dare to think about it, if Su Yidan really wouldn't wake up, then what should I do?
I was chilling, and in the middle of the night, many people were sitting in this row of chairs with me, and suddenly there was a hoarse cry from the next ward, and then these people got up and rushed into the ward together, and the crying seemed to be contagious, and they wailed and cried, as if the old man in the family had passed away.
Watching them go in and out, crying and screaming, I suddenly shuddered, they cried for a long time, and then carried the deceased out of the ward on a stretcher, and a group of people cried and followed the stretcher downstairs, and in a blink of an eye, the surroundings were quiet again.
Is this what people look like when they die? Suddenly it's gone, it's suddenly quiet, it's suddenly falling into eternal loneliness, think about the old cripple when he died, it seems to be like this, it's as simple as taking out the garbage, is this death?
I looked out the window in a daze, and remembered what Dao'an told me before, after settling down Su Yidan and the old man, he told me the identity of the hunchbacked middle-aged man, and I was a little surprised after listening to it.
Daoan told me that if he heard correctly, the hunchbacked middle-aged man should be the descendant of 'Mr. Ma'.
Mr. Ma is the founder of the 'North Malaysia', and he has also told the story of abandoning his name and creating a new school before, so I won't mention it here, what I am talking about here is actually in the Northeast, I know' There are a lot of people who go out of the horse's deep love to exorcise evil spirits, although they can all be regarded as Mr. Ma's disciples, but few people know that Mr. Ma's ancestor may also be related to Mr. Ma's guilt back then, these people are generally selected by those foreign immortals (guess it may be that Mr. Ma and those demon immortals are determined, or it may be because of other reasons, the wild history here can no longer be queried, so it is not listed), so only worship the foreign immortals as teachers, but there is no Mr. Ma in the hall at home.
Speaking of this, this is also the same as thousands of chefs in the world, but few chefs know who their ancestors are and who invented the spoon, everyone insists that they are authentic, this is the surname of the people, and it is also normal, although Mr. Ma does not know much, but I understand, the old lame man told me at the beginning, he also accepted disciples after he was vulgar, but also started a family, because he was guilty and did not want to be named, and the apprentices were not allowed to mention him, so after several generations of apprentices, no one knew about this person, but this' The first person out of the horse is real, the northern horse in the so-called 'Nanmao and North Horse' by the southern monks, on the one hand, is Mr. Ma and his descendants, but the descendants of the Ma family of the North Ma family are extremely low-key, and there is almost no record of it in the history of the wild, even Shao Cripple thought that the descendants of the Ma family were probably extinct because of some kind of relationship.
But where did you think that the hunchbacked middle-aged man before turned out to be Mr. Ma's descendant? When I first heard about this, I couldn't believe it, so I asked Na Dao'an, is this true?
Dao An said to me at the time, if I guess correctly, I must ** not leave ten, you want him to say the poem: 'Abandon the name to learn the Tao under the South Mountain, sacrifice to the gods and worship the immortals to spend the years, the ancestors and gods are all respected, who is the Taoist immortal to one?' 'In the Northeast, where the Outer Immortals and Taoism are mixed together, there is only the 'Ma' family. Moreover, his ability to let that monster possess him is also very much like the disciple of the horse's 'please God to come up'.
As for his point of view, in fact, it had been confirmed yesterday afternoon, and after the old man had recovered some of his senses, he called me and Dao An to come over, and after this battle, the old man's spirit was greatly frustrated, and he seemed to be much older, but fortunately he was not confused, and his speech was also methodical, and he told us the reason why he wanted to release that strange thing.
It turned out that morning, Xuan Yan still came to the park to bask in the sun in a daze, and I don't know when a person came next to him, that is, the hunchbacked man who claimed to be a descendant of the Ma family, and the man said to Xuan Yan: "Dao Chief, why are you sad?" ”
Xuan Yan was already old and confused, and naturally replied that there was no ghost catch, after the man heard it, he actually laughed, and then fell into Xuan Yan's ear and said a word, and suddenly woke up the person in the dream, the man said to Xuan Yan: "This is not simple, Dao Chief, how brave you were back then, put out the things you caught at that time, isn't there another ghost catch?" ”
You must know that the reason why Xuan Yan is confused is because of his old age and the peace in the world, after hearing this, he was immediately overjoyed, to say that his mind was really not sober, and he didn't even hear the man's malice at that time, but he just felt that this was indeed a way, plus the person slapped Xuan Yan on the back, saying that Xuan Yan looked in good spirits at this time, and he was old and strong, and he would not be afraid of the defeat of his former subordinates.
The old man was a child's temper at the time, and after being touted by him, he suddenly fluttered, and really thought that he was still his former self, so he made up his mind, and at night when no one was paying attention, he sneaked to the Taiqing Palace to get his own things and then went to dig the tower, and then we all knew what happened.
When the old man said this, the old man closed his eyes, and there were two lines of turbid tears, and he said very sadly: "I think I am really old and confused, I actually did such a thing, and you children suffered with it, if Xiao Dan is really in trouble, then what old face do I have to live?" ”
Seeing him crying, his emotions were very throbbing, after all, the old man was a handful of years old, and Dao'an and I couldn't say anything, so we hurriedly appeased, in fact, I didn't blame him for this, the monster had to blame the man, I thought to myself how vicious this person was, obviously I wanted the old man to compete with the strange sandpiper and the clam in the end, and finally he was the fisherman with his left hand.
Even the old man takes advantage of it, how can people be so insidious? Thinking of this, I felt a pang of anger in my heart, but we couldn't figure out why he did this, could it be that he was the old man's former enemy?
But the old man told us that he was frank all his life, only catching ghosts and not hurting people, and there could be no enemies at all, so what was the purpose of that person?
The old man was getting older, and it was not suitable for him to talk more after being injured, and finally he said to us very tiredly: "Thinking about it this way, that person must have wanted to use that karma to do something unseemly, but now that I think about it, that karma does not seem to be an ordinary mountain monster, but a bit like an evil god worshiped in a cult......
It was another cult, and I felt that my mind was so messed up that I smoked half a box of cigarettes one night, knowing that my throat hurt, and then I went back to the seat until dawn.
In fact, I really don't have the energy to think about that grandson to take away that monster for Mao, I was full of Su Yidan, I didn't dare to think about it, what would I be like without her, I have long been used to her beside me, her smile has become a part of my reluctant part, if he really has any accidents, then I, then what should I do?
When the sky was bright, because I didn't rest for a long time, my eyes began to be astringent, I actually fell asleep, I seemed to have a terrible dream, I dreamed that Su Yidan died, and then I was sad, but in the end I still had no choice, I could only return to my hometown, the things in the dream were absurd and bizarre, I returned to my hometown in the dream, I really became a middle school teacher, very ironic, although this is my ideal life, but I am not happy at all, and finally I play and sing what song, wash my face with tears.
So much so that when I woke up, my eyes were still wet, I gritted my teeth, got up, went to the bathroom to wash my face, then shook my head, slapped myself, and then went out to buy breakfast as if nothing happened. Back in the ward, Su Yidan was still asleep, but the old man woke up, I fed him some porridge, and then sat on the edge of Su Yidan's bed, quietly looking at her sleeping face.
In this way, another day passed, and on the third day, Su Yidan finally woke up, at that time I was overwhelmed by all kinds of pressure, I was almost desperate, in the afternoon, the sun was very full, only the old man and Su Yidan were left in the ward, the old man was taking a nap, I held Su Yidan's hand, and cried quietly.
Crying and crying, he suddenly heard Su Yidan's weak voice coming: "Is someone bullying you again?" ”
I looked up and looked at Su Yidan's emaciated face, she squirmed her chapped lips a few times, and then smiled at me, she finally woke up, I held her hand excitedly, and said, "No, no, it's good if you wake up, it's okay!" ”
At that time, I really felt that maybe the joy of winning the lottery was not as good as the mood I felt at that time.
However, although Su Yidan woke up, the situation after being discharged from the hospital was not optimistic.
I lived in Shenyang for nearly a month, I had two trips to the hospital, after she went home, her physical condition was extremely reduced, and she saw that she had lost weight, her face was originally a bit like a goose egg face, but now her cheekbones are faintly visible, and finally she fainted again and was sent to the hospital, the hospital's diagnosis only said that she was malnourished, but I knew what was going on like a mirror in my heart, but I couldn't say it to Su Yidan.
My travel expenses have already been spent, bamboo is very righteous, and borrowed me some, but I also understand that this is not a long-term solution, that day, Daoan came to the hospital, after chatting for a while, then signaled me to go out with him, we came to the hospital, he gave me a cigarette, and then said in a deep voice: "There is something I must tell you." ”
I took a puff of my cigarette, then lowered my head and said, "You say." ”
"Senior sister's situation is very bad now." Dao An has not been doing business recently, and while helping me take care of the two of them, he is also constantly checking the information, and he said to me: "It seems that the black qi of that monster has injured my junior sister and made her physique worse." ”
I've thought about this for a long time, so I sighed, didn't talk nonsense, just said to Dao'an: "Is there any way?" ”
"I really can't think of anything else that can save her other than Qingli salvia." Daoan said dejectedly.
I took another puff of cigarette and swallowed it into my stomach, and I said to Daoan, "How long does she have left?" ”
Daoan shook his head, then sighed at me, "Maybe a year, maybe two years...... But according to the current situation, even if she survives, it will cost a lot of money, and she has a grandmother at home...... Those nourishments and treatments for what......"
"I'll figure it out." I threw the cigarette on the ground, chopped it out with my foot, and then looked up at Dao An and said, "Don't cut off the nutritional medicine, I'll figure it out." ”
"How can you just let you pay!" Dao An said to me: "We brothers and sisters will not look at it, and you also know that this is a hole that is not filled, you have just graduated, where can you get all this money...... Moreover, there is a sentence that I don't know if it's appropriate, junior sister, she is already like this...... You, you're ......"
"Needless to say." I know what Dao An is going to say to me, he is an adult, maybe he will use the thoughts of adults to measure our relationship, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the implication is that Su Yidan is no longer hopeless, I want me to stop being stubborn, no matter how arrogant I am, you want me to go, after all, I have nothing to do with her legally, and I have nothing to do with them.
In other words, I am a stunned young man from the provinces, an outsider.
But am I really an outsider, am I really just acting rashly? What I thought, maybe only I know, so I interrupted his transformation and raised my head, at this time the sun was dazzling, cloudless, and the blue sky was boundless, I turned to Dao An and said, "She is my daughter-in-law." ”
