Chapter 1: The Death of a Good Man

Next Chapter

In front of the chemical plant in **province**city, Chu Mengchen carried heavy welfare goods and moved to his poor, rusty bicycle step by step. In the end, they did not go home empty-handed, and the factory was losing money year after year, but the leaders still squeezed out some welfare funds from the trade union funds, so that these migrant workers also got a bit of balanced welfare treatment -- two bundles of 10 catties of green onions and a bag of 30 catties of potatoes.

Chu Mengchen glanced enviously at the head of the sales section who had just opened the door of the Audi A6, and the guy was casually throwing a rectangular envelope with red and white tickets into the leather cushion, and took out the new version of his iPhone to invite his junior and junior to go to the K song and drink.

Chu Mengchen reluctantly put the heavy "welfare goods" on the back hanger of the bicycle, and a cold wind blew, and his thin body involuntarily shivered, like a dead leaf in the autumn wind......

Scattered snow particles gradually fell in the hazy sky, Chu Mengchen pedaled the car hard, because there was no pedal board, the car chain had no oil, and the fastening screws of the fender were nowhere to be found, so the sound of sparse noise spread far away, and the whole superb bicycle rang everywhere except the bell, and even the "beggars" lying on the wear-resistant road were sideways.

"Please let let... My car didn't have a brake..."Chu Mengchen shouted vigorously, for fear that there would be a pile of people more than fifty meters in front of him who would not be able to hear.

When the people gathered in front of the alley of Chunhe Street to see what was lively, they hurriedly dodged away when they heard Chu Mengji's shout, lest they be touched by this poor bastard.

At the mouth of the alley that was vacated in an instant, an old man was curled up on the side of the road and moaned helplessly: "Pull me along... I don't lie to you... I admit that I fell down, don't you, pull me along..."

Chu Mengchen watched from afar as the old man trembled and raised his hand for help, hurriedly split his feet, and used his artificial leather sneakers with several cracks as a "foot brake", and finally stopped in front of the old man after grinding off a layer of bottom.

Propping up the car ladder without locking springs, Chu Mengchen ran to the old man's approach, bent down and hugged him.

"Hey... Hey, boy, what is the old man doing to you? We don't have surveillance here, and I don't have a cell phone with me, so why are you really saving him?" a guy who thought he was more shrewd hurriedly admonished.

Chu Mengji glanced at the goods and stretched out his hand to greet the passing taxis.

A... Two ... Three ...... Seven or eight cars have passed in a row, whether there are people or no people, as if Chu Mengji is transparent air, and no car is willing to stop.

Let's call 120, Chu Mengchen gently put the old man down, comforted him, and ran to the phone booth on the side of the road.

After waiting for half an hour, when Chu Mengji and the old man were about to be frozen, the 120 ambulance said, "Hey... Yikes...... Ay... Ah......h

Cooperated with the medical staff, Chu Mengchen accompanied the old man all the way to the hospital. The old man was sent to the emergency ward, and Chu Mengchen was dragged to the outpatient clinic by the doctor who accompanied him and ordered him to go through the hospitalization procedures for the old man.

"The old man needs a craniotomy, you have to pay the hospitalization deposit as soon as possible!"

"Doctor, I don't know this old man, he is in a coma now, you can wake him up first, and then I will ask him if he has any children, I don't have enough money to pay the hospital deposit!" Chu Mengchen begged shyly and anxiously.

"That's... I can't be the master, you can ask the person in charge of the window!" After the doctor finished speaking, his feet disappeared into Chu Mengji's sight like stepping on hot wheels......

"No money? No money! Our hospital never pays on credit, so you should ask your neighbors to see who knows someone from his family, and go through the hospitalization procedures quickly!" The head of the doctor in charge of the hospitalization procedures shook like a rattle.

"It's important to save people first, aren't doctors saving lives and helping the wounded?" Chu Mengchen asked with some annoyance.

"We're not a welfare home here, can't a hospital like yours open?" After the doctor finished speaking, he shouted at the person behind Chu Mengji, "Next!"

Chu Mengchen was pushed hard by the guy behind him, and his thin body was almost pushed and fell.

"I don't have the money to put any big cloves of garlic here?" A low muttering in the queue made Chu Mengchen almost stunned, and in desperation, he had no choice but to run out of the hospital and rush towards the mouth of the alley of Chunhe Street.

When Chu Mengchen panted and ran back to the mouth of the alley, his car ladder without a locking spring was no longer performing its own function, and the superb bicycle was "sleeping" on the side of the road, the green onions and potatoes fell to the ground, and a few potatoes that were far away had been trampled by the shoes of some "animals", and they were in disarray.

Chu Mengji had no time to take care of his welfare products, and came to the newsstand panting to ask the newsstand owner if he knew the old man who had fallen.

Fortunately, the owner of the newsstand really knew each other, and told Chu Mengchen the phone number of the old man's relative.

Chu Mengchen didn't have time to think about why the owner didn't call to inform the relatives of the old man, so he quickly grabbed the microphone and dialed the other party's mobile phone tremblingly.

"Hey...?

"May I ask if you are Uncle Wang's son?" He fell at the entrance of the alley of Chunhe Street, and is now waiting in the hospital for emergency surgery, please hurry up and take a look!" Chu Mengchen said breathlessly.

"You... Who's talking nonsense? My dad never goes out easily, don't lie to me, right......? The sound of hang-up followed.

Chu Mengchen stared blankly at the microphone in his hand, speechless.

"Young man, his son is a typical unfilial son, is it possible to expect him to go to see Uncle Wang and pay the hospitalization fee? You too, it's okay to be nosy, sticky bag! That beast wishes that Uncle Wang had reported to Marx earlier!" the owner of the newsstand teased.

"But... I can't look at Uncle Wang and no one cares!" Chu Mengchen shook his head, returned to his still sleepy bicycle, picked up the scattered welfare items, and lifted the car to his own dwelling.

Opening the padlock and pushing open the front door, Chu Mengchen leaned the car against the wall of the outhouse, looked up to the sky and sighed, gritted his teeth and walked quickly into the inner room, took out his passbook from under the pillow of the single bed, locked the door and ran to the nearby postal savings office......

Chu Mengchen held the passbook with only 3 yuan, 1 jiao and 4 cents left and the 50,000 yuan he had worked so hard to save, and walked quickly to the window for hospitalization.

"It's... It's a hospital deposit, please handle it quickly!" Chu Mengchen handed over the hard-earned money that almost took out the ink to the window doctor.

The doctor looked at Chu Mengji, looked at the RMB that had been crumpled, and said angrily: "Don't hold it hard when you hand over the money next time, the money counter won't recognize it!"

Whoa... Drip...... Whoa... Drip...... Whoa... Drip...... The 50,000 yuan was ordered four or five times before it barely passed. The window doctor scolded Chu Mengjian and complained about him vigorously.

Chu Mengchen also felt that he was a little inadequate, and kept rubbing his hands red, embarrassed to look up at the other party's face.

"Okay, go to the doctor to prescribe medicine, bargain, pay money, and get medicine!" The doctor at the window finally handed over a few receipts to Chu Mengjian, and casually pointed in the direction of the toilet and commanded.

Chu Mengchen hurriedly took the slip and ran in the direction of the toilet......

After three hours of searching, inquiring, waiting, queuing... Chu Mengchen finally completed the relevant procedures, and Uncle Wang was also pushed into the operating room.

After a long wait, the door of the operating room was opened, and Uncle Wang was pushed out with a respirator.

"Doctor... Bite... What's going on?" Chu Mengchen asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's not too late to deliver, the operation is quite successful, you will come to your senses tomorrow, you are his grandson, good! What a filial little guy!" The doctor in charge of the surgeon replied approvingly at Chu Mengji, whose eyes were already red.

"That's... That's good!" Chu Mengchen finally put down a big stone in his heart, and a rare smile appeared on his thin face.

The next morning, Chu Mengchen woke up from the haze, Uncle Wang was still groggy and asleep on the bed, however, the physiological indicators showed that the instrument instructions were normal, Chu Mengchen rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at his cheap electronic watch.

"Ahh

During rush hour, the bus looks like a big sausage with activity, but it's just human flesh inside!

Chu Mengchen finally squeezed into the car, and in the case of front and rear attacks, he didn't even have a foothold in the top spot, and the whole person was almost squeezed into the air.

The speed of the old cow-like bus made Chu Mengchen, who originally didn't have enough time, a full fifteen minutes late! I can't get this month's full attendance award! Chu Mengchen hated himself a little for sleeping so hard.

When the section leader saw that Chu Mengji finally appeared, this guy was shocked for a while, and then pushed and shoved him to the compression workshop to guard the huge high-pressure gas compressor, and told him that he would work four points during the day today as a punishment!

Chu Mengchen looked at the 6,000-volt power supply behemoth in front of him, and felt a sense of bitterness in his heart. Although the work is not very labor-intensive, it cannot be left for a moment. Because the wife of the worker on duty with Chu Mengchen was in labor, he had to ask for leave, and now there is no one willing to take the post.

"Boom, boom, boom...... "The fixed-frequency noise generated by ......the huge piston of the compressor was like a monotonous lullaby, making Chu Mengji, who was already underrested, more and more heavy on his eyelids.

It's pretty good, I'm off work in a quarter of an hour, and I don't know if Uncle Wang woke up... Chu Mengchen comforted himself, and at the same time he was a little slippery mentally.

Sizzle... Some strange sounds added a slight discord to the loud roar, not to mention Chu Mengji, who was already extremely tired in his physical strength and energy now, even the skilled* workers who had just taken over in advance were not aware of this abnormal sound.

"Toot toot... Chirping... Bell..."All kinds of sirens suddenly went crazy, and then a huge emptying sound filled everyone's hearing. Ping... Table tennis... The transparent observation mirror of the compressor was suddenly exploded by high pressure, and a piece of plexiglass with a thickness of five centimeters flew in front of Chu Mengji's eyes, shattering the observation window glass of the workshop.

"Ah~~!" a piercing scream came from the observation room, and even the loud sound of emptying could not be concealed.

Chu Mengchen turned around and saw that Xiao Cheng, the new technician in the workshop, was looking at the section leader with a face full of glass ballast in horror, and his screams kept rising, almost comparable to Vitas's dolphin sound.

"Run~~~! The pressure of the pipeline is so high that it is about to explode!" The section chief, whose face was covered in blood, shouted with his eyes closed.

"Bang~~~!" With a loud bang, the two-inch thick-walled steel pipe at the inlet of the compressor was disconnected, and the carbon monoxide inside gushed out instantly, and the broken control cable ended on the iron cylinder of the machine, and a bright spark ignited the mixed gas that had just reached the explosive concentration, and the violent explosion shattered the compressor to pieces.

Chu Mengchen was pushed out more than ten meters away by a huge wave of air, and Xiao Cheng, the section leader and technician who had just run out of the control room, were directly blown back, and the section leader was unfortunately tripped over the computer monitor that fell from the * bench, and his brain hit the broken aluminum alloy window frame, and the aluminum alloy frame was like a sharp knife that passed straight through his throat, and a large amount of blood sprayed Xiao Cheng's body, so a cry higher than the dolphin sound woke up Chu Mengji, who was dizzy.

Chu Mengchen shook his head, lifted his bottle-like glasses and looked at the source of the scream. The I-beam above the control room gradually cracked, and it looked like it was about to fall off.

Chu Mengchen didn't even have time to think about it, he rushed towards Xiao Cheng with all his strength and pushed him out with both hands......

"Boom..."Chu Mengchen's ears echoed with the loud sound of the I-beam smashing to the ground after it broke, "Gaba..."He obviously felt that all the bones in his body were smashed! What's even more hateful is that the host of the computer was pressed under him, and the entire hard disk and the network cable that had not yet had time to remove were deeply embedded in Chu Mengchen's body, and an inexplicable electric current mixed with a large amount of data instantly invaded his brain......

"Ah~~~Brother Chu~~~!" Xiao Cheng's cry that once again surpassed the dolphin sound seemed a little ethereal, and Chu Mengji felt that there was a strange, never-before-seen, very comfortable softness still rippling on the tips of his fingers, and then he didn't know anything......
