Chapter 52: Intensifying
After arriving at the county seat, the three of us had breakfast at a roadside stall, and then went straight to the hospital.
When I came to the inpatient department, I found the ward where my mother lived according to the room number, but my parents were not in the ward at this time.
After inquiring with the patient next door, I learned that my mother has now been taken to the operating room and is preparing for surgery.
After inquiring about the location of the operating room, we immediately went and finally met my dad outside the operating room door.
At this time, he was pacing in front of the operating room, and judging from his expression, he was extremely nervous now.
"Dad, how is my mom doing now, how long has it been in?" I walked up to my dad and asked.
My dad looked up at me when he heard this, and he was a little stunned by my sudden appearance, and only came back to his senses after a few seconds: "Aren't you busy with work in the city and can't come back?" ”
"I'm joking with you, even if I'm busy with work, I can't help but come back after my mother's surgery." I looked at my dad and said.
"Even if you kid has a conscience, your mother has been in for more than half an hour, and it is estimated that the operation will be completed in another hour, I asked the doctor before entering, and he said that this kind of operation is almost not dangerous, that is, take something out of your mother's body, as long as you take this thing out, your mother will be fine, and they use minimally invasive surgery, and they can be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon after resting for half a day."
My dad was calm, but judging by the redness of his eyes, he was still very worried about the operation.
"Dad, since my mother is fine, don't worry, don't my mother's illness just happens to be tired again, this can't be done, by the way, Dad, these two are my friends in the city, Li Hai and Ning Nanxi, this time I heard that my mother is sick and needs surgery, so you have to come with me to visit her." I opened my mouth to introduce.
"Your mother is not a serious illness, what are you bothering your friends to come to visit, after your mother is discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, we will go back to the village, and then treat your two friends well." My dad looked at me and smiled.
I nodded and was just about to speak, when Ning Nanxi, who was behind me, came to my side and whispered: "Chen Mo, didn't you say that there is an old woman in red who has been following your parents, I'll go to the hospital to see if I can find her, if it can be solved in the hospital, there is no need to bring her back to the village, now the situation in the village is not clear, if you let her get involved, it will be troublesome." ”
Seeing me nodding after Ning Nanxi turned around and left, my dad looked at me after seeing Ning Nanxi leave, and then looked at me and said: "What does this girl have to do with you, won't she be your girlfriend, I don't think she's too old, don't give me this old cow to eat tender grass, this is not reliable!" ”
Hearing this, I was speechless for a while, and before I could speak, Li Hai on the side smiled evilly: "Uncle, you have to persuade silence in this matter, people are still underage girls, if you do something you shouldn't do, it will be a crime, I think you ......"
Without waiting for Li Hai to finish speaking, I raised my leg and kicked him on the ass, and then shouted: "You kid really doesn't have a door, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of my father, if you dare to talk nonsense again, then I won't kick your ass, I'll kick your ankle directly, and you won't even have to get out of bed!" ”
"It's okay for me to get out of bed, just don't let the little girl get out of bed."
Seeing that Li Hai was so untouchable, I just wanted to kick him again, but I didn't expect Li Hai to be sensitive, and he came to the bench to sit down in a flash, and I didn't care about her when I saw this, and continued to accompany my dad to wait patiently in front of the operation door.
About half an hour later, Ning Nanxi returned to me and said that she had checked the entire hospital and that there was no yin qi.
This means that the old woman in red is not in the hospital at the moment, maybe she is hiding somewhere else, but as soon as we leave, she will definitely follow us back, which is really not a good thing in the current situation in the village.
But we have no other way to do it, although the county is not big, but it is not easy to find the old woman who is hiding in it, it is better to let it go, anyway, his target is me and my parents, as long as we move, she will definitely follow secretly, and then we can eliminate her as long as we find her.
For the next hour, we waited patiently in front of the operating room, and the minutes and seconds passed, and finally the lights went out above the operating room at about 10 a.m.
Soon the door to the operating room opened, and a car was pushed out of it, and it was my mother lying on it.
Perhaps because of the anesthetic, my mother was still in a coma for the time being, but according to the doctor, the operation was very successful, and she could fully recover as long as she concentrated on cultivation for ten days and a half months, but she could not do heavy work within half a year.
After learning the news, a stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground, and my dad let out a breath that was blocked in his chest.
I know that my dad has relied on this breath during this time, otherwise it is estimated that he would have been unable to hold on.
With the help of Li Hai and Ning Nanxi, we sent my mother back to the ward, and after about an hour of coma, my mother opened her eyes, although she was not particularly conscious, but it seemed that she was fine.
As soon as my mother woke up, her tears couldn't stop flowing down when she saw me, and she kept shouting at me, while Ning Nanxi, who was on the side, walked out of the ward with red eyes when she saw this scene.
I know why she reacted so much, because she had said before that her mother died early, and her father had always taken her with her in the Xuanqing Gate, so she had never felt her mother's love, and now seeing my mother care about me so much, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"Xiao Mo, when do you plan to leave when you come back this time, if the city is not busy, you will stay in your hometown for a few more days, your father and I miss you." My mom said, holding my hand.
"Okay, I'll stay with you for a few more days if it's okay in the city, but I have something else to ask you and Dad about this time besides visiting you." I said in a deep voice.
My mother was stunned and asked me what was the matter, and now that there were other people in the sick house, I was worried that the wall had ears, so I said that I would talk about it when I got home.
Since my mother had a minimally invasive surgery, the wound was not too big, so I was going home after recuperating in bed for half a day.
After all, now that his condition has stabilized, it is nothing more than lying in bed to recuperate, and there is no difference between the hospital and his hometown.
Besides, my mother had been in her hometown for a long time, and now she was inevitably homesick when she lived in a hospital where she didn't know anyone, so after consulting the doctor, we rented a farm tricycle and sent my parents back to their hometown.
By the time we got back to the village, it was about six o'clock in the evening, and it was completely dark.
Perhaps because they have lived in the village for decades, my parents felt that the atmosphere in the village was not quite right as soon as they entered the village, and my father looked around for a moment and looked at me and asked: "Why is the village so quiet today, usually there are lights in the courtyard even if the gate is closed, but what is wrong today, I can't even see the light at six o'clock, is there something wrong?" ”
Seeing that my father asked, I didn't hide it, and then told him about Chen Shuheng and the death of the monkey.
Mom and Dad looked incredulous when they heard this, after all, they had only been gone for a few days, and they didn't expect that two young and strong young men would die in the village in such a short period of time, which was really unexpected.
"Alas, Shuheng and the monkey I have watched grow up since I was a child, you used to come to our house to eat when you played with them, why did you go out for a few days and there was such a big thing, by the way, the Hou family and the Chen family have you gone, we are also a village, you and the two of them are small, now that you are back in the village, if there is anything between the two of them, you can help more, especially your aunt of the Hou family, now she is the only one left in the family, if you are fine, you can go over and persuade her, but don't let her think about it." My dad looked at me and said earnestly.
I was just about to nod my head after listening to my dad, when my heart suddenly chuckled, my dad's words reminded me!
Now that the Hou family is left with only the monkey mother, what if she can't accept the reality and then do something stupid!
Ning Nanxi once said that suicide can be regarded as a horizontal death, if the monkey mother can't think of it for a while, if she really does something radical, wouldn't it be another corpse that died horizontally.
Last night, the monkey told her not to let the village die again, once her mother couldn't think of committing suicide, wouldn't the feng shui pattern around the village change from a life situation to a death situation!
Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat, and my back and shirt were soaked with sweat.
"Dad, you take my mom home to rest first, I'll go out with the two of them for a while, and I'll be back soon." I looked at my dad and said.
My dad looked up at the sky and wondered: "Now it's dark outside, what do you want to do, your two friends are from the city, they are delicate, what if you can't see the road clearly and bump into it, don't go out and mess around!" ”
Ning Nanxi was clever and smart, and from my words and expressions, she had already guessed that I had something to say to her and Li Hai.
Then he looked at my dad with a smile on his mouth and persuaded him: "Uncle, we often climb mountains to exercise in the city, so there will be no accidents, and we will come back in a while, and we will not be delayed for too long." ”
Li Hai seemed to understand something when he heard Ning Nanxi say this, and he also joined in the persuasion, and my father finally couldn't resist the three of us, so he had to take my mother into the courtyard first.
"Chen Mo, what's the matter with your mystery, have you found the traces of that old woman?" Li Hai asked in a low voice after seeing my parents enter the main house.
"This matter has nothing to do with the old woman, I think we need to go to the Hou family now, last night the monkey braved the rain to say that there can be no more dead people in the village, once the dead people will become dead, and the whole village will be implicated at that time, but the monkey is the only one left in the family, the pain of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person is not something that anyone can bear, the monkey's mother first lost a man in her early years, and now even her own son is dead, she must feel that it is not interesting to live, so ......"
Before I could finish speaking, Li Hai preemptively said, "So you guess that the monkey mother may have made a radical move?" ”
"Very likely, although it's just speculation now, we have to guard against it, in my opinion, let's go to Hou's house first, let's talk about it, if the monkey mother is okay, let's persuade her, at least we can't let her go to this road of no return, if it really goes to that point, things will be troublesome!" I looked at Li Hai and Ning Nanxi and said.
Ning Nanxi and Li Hai felt that there was some truth after listening to me, so they followed me and walked in the direction of the Hou family at night.
During the day, the Hou family was still surrounded by water, and now the courtyard is deserted, and there is nothing else on the courtyard door except for the hanging white cloth and the white banner inserted at the door.
Because the Hou family is a foreign surname and has no relatives in the village, no one sends him a wreath even if the monkey dies.
Standing in front of the Hou family, I glanced at the courtyard, and at this time there was a dead silence in the courtyard, and there was no light coming out.
"Chen Mo, I said that you are just salty and eating radishes and worrying about it, although her son is uncomfortable when he dies, but it is not so bad that he can't think about it, in my opinion, the monkey has already fallen asleep, let's ...... this trip"
Before Li Hai finished speaking, Ning Nanxi suddenly put his hand to his mouth and shushed, signaling for Li Hai to shut up.
Then she stepped forward and listened for a few seconds, then looked back at me and Li Hai, and asked us to go over and listen, and said that there seemed to be a sound of talking in the courtyard.
And the strangest thing is that she actually noticed the existence of yin qi in the courtyard, which means that there is something unclean in the courtyard.
Hearing Ning Nanxi's words, my heart was shocked, could it be that the monkey is back!
