74 A penny is hard for a hero
Ji Xiang hadn't seen cash for a long time, let alone those old gross tickets. It has been at least ten years since I scanned the code to pay, and the last time I used cash, Ji Xiang didn't remember when.
So he was a little surprised.
The hair ticket was stained with a layer of greasy grease, reflecting the light of the setting sun, and Ji Xiang had a slight palpitation.
"Dad, you stand here waiting for me." The young man pushed hard behind his back, trying to squeeze out a smile.
After saying that, he didn't answer the gross ticket, turned around and ran away quickly.
"Why are you going?" The middle-aged man asked loudly.
"I'll go to the cafeteria and buy you a few buns, it's cheaper than the ones outside! And there's a lot of meat, so it's delicious! The young man shouted as he quickly ran away.
Ji Xiang looked back at the middle-aged man standing in the sunset, looking at his dry hands and the greasy gross tickets on his hands.
How many years has it been since electronic payments, and it is really difficult to see cash.
This scene seems to make Ji Xiang go back to his childhood.
The boy ran like a rabbit, turned the corner, turned around, and saw the figure of the middle-aged man, and the little boy finally couldn't help squatting down and hanging his left waist with his fist.
The hammer pound did not make him feel even a little bit of comfort, and there was a sharp pain in the position where the stone was stuck in the ureteral stricture.
This kind of pain Ji Xiang is very familiar, he felt it last time.
The little boy was in extreme pain, raised his head, and roared silently like a little beast.
You don't need to look at Ji Xiang to know that the little boy has a hideous face at this time and is fighting with illness.
The pain did not relieve, but the little boy stood up and jumped twice hard.
On the heel of the ground, a strong tremor came from the ground, and the pain seemed to be healed.
It seems that he has seen a doctor, otherwise it is difficult for ordinary people to know the means used to expel stones when the heel lands.
Running quickly to the cafeteria, he swiped his card to buy a drawer of freshly released buns.
At this moment, Ji Xiang felt the little boy's mouth secreting saliva, and at the same time, a series of gurgling sounds sounded in his stomach under the shroud of pain.
Alas.
The feeling of hunger Ji Xiang is very strange, and the drawer of xiaolongbao doesn't look delicious, but now in Ji Xiang's world, this is the most delicious delicacy in the world.
The young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, packed the xiaolongbao in a plastic bag and turned to run.
The sunset is beautiful, like chili oil, and the aroma coming out of the plastic bag makes people drool.
Facing a few boys walking shirtless with basketballs, their world is completely different from the world of little boys.
A sharp pain came, and the little boy's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees.
There was a burning pain in the knee, but this level of pain was completely incomparable to the pain of urinary stones.
In the panic, the buns in the boy's hands were scattered on the ground.
He endured the severe pain and hurriedly picked up the bun.
The dusty bun was still so fragrant, the boy hesitated for a moment, wrapped the bun that didn't fall out, picked up a bun that fell on the ground, wiped it on his clothes, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"He'll eat it if you guess it." A handsome boy hugged a basketball and sneered.
"People are poor and short-minded, but horses are thin and long-haired."
"Let's go, let's go." One pulls the others, unwilling to embarrass the boys.
The youthful and beautiful campus doesn't seem to have anything to do with the little boy, and he is so out of place compared to the group of peers holding basketballs.
When you pick up the buns that have fallen on the ground and eat them, the hot mouth seems to be part of the deliciousness.
The boy felt some regret, but his regretful mood was interrupted by pain.
Around the corner, he jumped hard, rubbed his face with his hands, and tried to squeeze out a smile.
"Dad, give you buns." The boy held the bun and handed it over.
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands together, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, you and Mom, I'm fine." The boy smiled hard and said, "I don't have enough money to spend, and I don't need to come to see me, I'll go back to help on vacation." ”
"No, no, no, the family is fine. This year, another fifteen acres of rice fields were packed, and the cattle were also angry, and they laid three pairs in a row! ”
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Dad, let's go back." The young man's left hand pushed his left waist hard, the smile on his face did not change, he stepped forward and hugged the middle-aged man, and then waved his hand.
The middle-aged man was a little regretful, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, nodded and turned around.
The young man held back tears in his eyes and ran away quickly. When the middle-aged man turned around, he was no longer visible.
Back in the dormitory, a pile of gross tickets was put away by the young man, he picked up the teapot and drank it all in one gulp, and then began to jump.
The heel touches the ground, and the feeling of tremor goes up.
"Old Five, you're not okay yet." A student in the same dormitory came back and saw the boy jumping and asked.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"What a sin." The boy sighed, "Come on." ”
The little boy waved his arm and trotted downstairs in severe pain.
It's a pity that no matter how much he jumps, it's useless, and the stones are like being welded to the ureters.
I urinated twice, and the color was bright red, but the pain did not lessen at all.
The young man was bouncing downstairs while enduring the severe pain, his strange posture attracting a few glances and whispers.
"Ji Xiang, are you okay?" The man in glasses arrived as promised.
Ji Xiang is speechless about the perfunctory system, won't he name it? It's okay to call two dogs, why are you called Ji Xiang.
It's an immersive spectator experience, and it's even called by its own name.
"Instructor, I'm still in pain."
"Didn't you break a stone once?" The man with glasses helped his glasses, a little distressed.
"After the gravel, I kept drinking a lot of water and jumping hard as the doctor said." The boy panted, "Don't worry, instructor, I'm sure I'll be fine." ”
As soon as he said this, there was a cramping pain in his waist, as if a knife had been pierced into it and kept stirring.
"Ah~~~"
The young man finally couldn't bear the pain anymore and fell to his knees and screamed.
Ji Xiang watched in silence and found the relevant process in his memory.
Three days ago, the boy suddenly had pain in his left side of his lower back and was persuaded by the counselor to go to a nearby second-class hospital for treatment.
Ultrasound examination revealed a stone in the lower part of the left ureter, with a diameter of about 9 mm, and extracorporeal ultrasound lithotripsy was performed immediately in the district-level second-class hospital.
Unfortunately, no stones were discharged after the gravel.
At that time, a lot of money was spent, nearly a thousand, which was no less distressing for a little boy than the pain caused by urinary stones stuck in the ureters.
Therefore, the little boy complied with the doctor's instructions after doing the gravel, and did not delay at all in drinking a lot of water and jumping.
However, the goddamn stone never went out.
"Gott~"
The boy started nauseous and retching.
Seeing him on his knees, pale and sweating, the counselor was terrified.
Ordinary people have never seen this, he thought that the little boy would die at any time, and he panicked.
called a few male classmates for help, regardless of the young man's refusal, and once again took him to a nearby second-class hospital.
"Haven't you drained it yet?"
Today's doctor is the one from 3 days ago. It seems that they are in a class for 3 days, and they can meet again, which can be regarded as fate.
"Doctor, not yet, you can see what to do. Isn't it just a stone, why does Xiao Ji look like shock? I guess there's something else wrong. The counselor said with some panic.
"The stones hurt and that's it. If the gravel is not discharged, it will be difficult to do, so you can go to the second attached courtyard. The doctor sighed, "There are requirements for extracorporeal ultrasonic lithotripsy, and the density and hardness of the stones should not be too high." It is now estimated that his stones are severe and require laser lithotripsy. ”
"Good, good." The counselor said in a loud voice.
"Doctor, how much does laser lithotripsy cost?" The little boy asked, struggling.
His mind focused on how he could get rid of this hellish pain, and even more so on how much it would cost.
"1-30,000." The doctor said, "After you go, explain the situation to the doctor of the Second Affiliated Hospital, and I estimate that more than 10,000 will be able to come down." ”
The counselor hesitated, but the little boy said firmly, "No, doctor, I want to try extracorporeal lithotripsy again." ”
"There are indications for extracorporeal lithotripsy." The doctor shook his head, "...... a week at most"
"Doctor, I'll sign!" The little boy was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling.
The doctor looked at him and knew that he could not afford the cost of laser lithotripsy of 1-30,000 yuan, and extracorporeal ultrasonic lithotripsy was much cheaper than laser lithotripsy, so it should be the best choice.
If he could drain it himself, he wouldn't even want to spend the money.
I have seen too many people in difficulty, and a penny is difficult for heroes, and the doctor knows that this is no way.
However, the side effects of frequent lithotripsy are too great, and doctors are also very difficult.
After repeated explanations, the little boy finally signed, and the doctor cautiously asked him to press his handprint, and then he was admitted to the hospital to prepare for gravel.
Ji Xiang watched all this silently, he knew that the little boy knew everything, and knew that laser stone crushing was the best way, but because he had no money, he could only try his luck by making bad choices.
Originally, there was some slander, so isn't it more troublesome?
But Ji Xiang thought of the buns that fell on the ground, and he understood that there was no way to do it.
"I'll save you as much as possible." The doctor sighed and said, "It's more than 800 normally, and it's not convenient for you, it is estimated that this treatment will be about 400." ”
"Thank you, doctor." The young boy said tremblingly.
"Ugh." The doctor sighed deeply and went to the office with the signing slip.
But a few seconds later, Ji Xiang saw him take the signing slip and turn it out again and go to the duty room.
This is because I feel unsafe, I am afraid that I will lose the signing form, and I want to lock it in my locker.
Ji Xiang knew that he would be taking a lot of risks by doing so, whether it was a doctor or a little boy.
By doing so, he is already the greatest kindness.
After doing the relevant inspections, Ji Xiang was sent to the stone crusher.
Lying on a medical bed, there is a fluorescent screen on top, similar to an X-ray machine, and a lithotripsy machine under the bed.
The moment he lay down, Ji Xiang felt that the little boy breathed a sigh of relief, as if he could get better after he was done.
"I'm ready." The doctor patted the little boy on the shoulder, "I hope it will work this time." ”
"It will work!"
