Chapter 22: Face
At five o'clock in the morning, I took the elevator to deliver breakfast to Xiaomeizi, and I never thought that at the moment when the elevator door was about to close, a slender pale arm stretched out from the gap in the elevator. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sudden appearance of this arm startled me in the silence of the early morning, and then I watched as the owner of the arm opened the elevator door and rushed in.
After the person flashed through the door, he came up and bowed to me, and then said directly: "Boss Huo, I was looking for you!"
Hearing the familiar and slightly immature voice of this man, I rubbed my eyes and saw his face in the dim light of the elevator.
Then, I blurted out, "Shen Wang! How is your father?"
That's right, the person who appeared in front of me was Shen Wang, the "young shopkeeper" of the old fairy soup building.
Since Shen Shen was tortured by Lin Shaosong and disabled. In the hospital, he was largely confined to his rooms and corridors.
Therefore, Shen Shen eats and fetches water, and goes to the toilet are all done by his son Shen Wang.
Shen Wang, a hairy boy who looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen, can be said to have picked up the burden of life since then.
After seeing this stubborn "little adult", my expression eased for a moment, and then I saw the fritters and soy milk in his hand, and I immediately understood what he was doing.
Looking at him, I asked, "Boy, did you buy your dad breakfast? Why do you only have one serving of soy milk, what do you eat?"
Seeing me ask, the young man's face became a little embarrassed, he looked down at the soy milk in his hand, and then raised his head and told me: "This thing is thin soup and little water, I don't like to drink it, I'll buy a better one when I go back!"
Listening to Shen Shen's stubborn, helpless but flawed answer, I could only respond with a helpless wry smile like him.
I knew that this kid was lying, but in order to save his face, I had to nod and answer him: "That's right, if you don't want to eat it, forget it, by the way, I have chicken shredded chaos here, let's divide it later, we can't eat so many plums......"
Hearing this, Shen Wang swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then asked me, "Don't you eat?"
I shook my head indifferently and said, "I don't have time, I have to go back to the hotel first, and when I get back to the hotel, I will eat Zhao Shuihe's breakfast." ”
After saying this, I specially shook the chaos at him a few times, and said to him: "Boy, don't be embarrassed, you have to throw away this thing if you can't eat it, and then it will be a waste, and the waste is shameful." ”
Hearing my words, the stubborn cow-like Shen Wang shook his head firmly, and then he suddenly stretched out a hand, groped in his trouser pocket, and then stretched out his hand again, and handed me a thick roll of money.
With this money, Shen Wang said to me a little excitedly: "My father asked me to withdraw the money, Boss Huo, this is the five thousand you paid in advance, since I saw you here, I will pay you back here." ”
Shen Wang's words made me stunned for a moment, and then, I naturally understood his thoughts.
Before Hu Lao Er went to prison, because I had an agreement with that guy, the medical expenses for the trial were all paid by Hu Lao Er.
But then, the guy who did all the evil was sent to the bureau by me and a letter of accusation. He himself could not afford to protect himself, and it was impossible for him to pay any medical expenses for this father and son.
Therefore, in the nearest week, I secretly paid 5,000 yuan for Shen Shen's treatment.
Although this money is not much, for Shen Shen and his son, who are already stretched, it can play a role in sending charcoal in the snow, and for me, 5,000 yuan is also the safest amount I can come up with this month, because after all...... I still have to prepare the renovation funds for the store.
Obviously, I secretly paid in advance, and Shen Shen's father and son found out, and this child should have complied with his father's wishes, and while I was still in the morning, he went to the hospital ATM to withdraw the money, and deliberately wanted to return it to me.
Looking at the 5,000 yuan cash in Shen Wang's hand, I didn't pick it up immediately, but asked him first: "Shen Wang, is your family really not short of these 5,000 yuan?" Tell me the truth. ”
My words made the originally stubborn Shen Wang slightly stunned, but only after being stunned for a moment, he quickly shook his head and said, "I'll tell you the truth...... Daddy let me tell you, there is really no shortage!"
Shen Shen and Shen Wang, the father and son, are good at everything, but they are too strong and face-saving, if the 5,000 yuan is really not lacking as Shen Wang said, then why should they make a soy milk to eat?
We all know this.
For this kind of person who values face more than anything else, I don't want this money, it's no different from slapping him in the face, and now that I'm in the elevator room, it's really inconvenient for me to push back and forth with Shen Wang.
Therefore, seeing Shen Wang's embarrassed appearance, I didn't stalemate, but just nodded at him, and told him again: "I have breakfast in my hand, you put the money away, and go back to the ward with me first, right?" ”
After that, I pointed to the display key of the elevator, indicating that the elevator door was about to open.
Hearing my words, Shen Wang nodded, and then he followed me off the elevator and walked to Xiaomeizi's hospital room together.
Along the corridor outside the elevator, Shen Wang and I advanced all the way to the door of Xiaomeizi's ward, but just as the two of us were about to enter the girl's ward, I suddenly stopped.
Because, I saw something different on the ground.
It seems like...... It's a string of blood droplets.
The string of "blood droplets" was yin red and red, and it seemed to be steaming. They gathered about three or five drops in Umeko's hospital room, and then another drop after a few steps, extending to the other side of the corridor.
In the faint morning light of more than five o'clock in the morning, this string of blood droplets was so striking and eerie. So much so that Shen Wang, who saw it at the same time, shook at the same time, and then looked sideways.
"Blood?" Shen Wang frowned as he muttered to himself, then half-crouched down, as if to sniff if it was true.
But for the sake of safety, Shen Wang did not wipe it directly with his hands, but after a little hesitation for a moment, he stretched out his hand, stained a little bit on his sleeve, and then put it on his nose to smell it, and then handed me the blood droplets on the sleeve.
That's a ...... Extremely strong smell of blood.
The blood that suddenly appeared in front of Meizi's ward made me have irrepressible thoughts, and then I hurriedly pushed open Meizi's door, but it was ...... I saw that Meizi was still flat on the hospital bed.
Seeing Meizi who was still lying still, the worry in my heart suddenly released a lot, and then I opened my legs and quickly approached Meizi, trying to wake her up and confirm the situation by the way.
But just as I opened my legs, walked to Numei's side with Shen Wang, stretched out my hand, and was about to touch her covered futon, Shen Wang next to me suddenly made a move and stopped my movements!
"Don't touch her!" Shen Wang grabbed my hand and shouted, "Don't move either!"
