It had been half a day since Lin Shu woke up, and he looked at the surrounding furnishings, there was no doubt that it was the drip ward of the hospital. He reminisced about the smell of chicken thighs still in his throat as he remembered how he had come to it.
"Well, sure enough, if you can't remember, you shouldn't think about it." Unplugged the infusion tube in his hand, Lin Shu got up and walked out of the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he met Zhou Yinglin who was carrying a bag of fruit.
"Come on, bring fruit, why are you so polite." Lin Shu said that he was about to reach out and take the fruit.
"Smack." A crisp sound accompanied by a critical blow came from the Linshu dog's paws.
"This is for Brother Dong, I'm just stopping by to see if you're awake."
"I'm fine, let's go to Brother Zhang's side together. Anyway, didn't he go back to the police station, why did he come back again? Lin Shu took the fruit from Zhou Yinglin's hand.
"Uncle Rong contacted the hospital and found that Brother Dong had sneaked out, and then sent him back to the ward." Zhou Yinglin shrugged.
The two chatted about some things along the way, but they didn't mention Lin Shu and Xing Xie.
In fact, Lin Shu had already figured it out when he woke up, what happened back then should have nothing to do with Xing Xie, after all, he was only 16 years old 17 years ago, and the person in the dream gave him a more mature feeling.
Not long after, the two came to a standard four-bed ward, and Zhang Dong was lying on a bed by the window with his legs crossed and playing with his mobile phone.
"Looks like he's recovering well, Brother Zhang." Lin Shu walked to the bedside.
"Brother Dong." Zhou Yinglin also said hello obediently.
"Small wound, a few stitches, I already thought it was okay, but the hospital just wouldn't let me go." Zhang Dong, who was talking on the side, did not forget to wave his arm to show his recovery.
Lin Shu put the fruit on the bedside table, and then took out an orange, "Brother Zhang, I'll peel an orange for you." ”
Then Lin Shu sat alone on the empty bed next door and almost ate most of the oranges, and gave two petals to Zhou Yinglin, and finally under Zhang Dong's speechless gaze, Lin Shu reluctantly gave him the last petal.
Looking at the only petal of pulp left in his hand, Zhang Dong said helplessly: "You kid is here to eat my oranges." ”
Seeing that the time was almost up, the two said goodbye to Zhang Dong and planned to go back to the police station together.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, a little girl ran in front of her and shouted at Zhou Yinglin: "Sister Zhou." ”
The little girl doesn't look big, about six or seven years old, with big eyes, white and tender skin, and two small pinchs, although she looks very thin, it doesn't affect her well-behaved and cute at all.
"Yiyi, why are you here?"
The little girl named Yiyi did not answer, but turned her head to look at the woman who was slowly walking behind her.
"Doctor Zhou, you're here too."
The woman looked to be in her thirties and had a good face, but her thin cheeks and plain clothes showed that life was not easy.
"Sister Cai, why are you and Yiyi here?" Zhou Yinglin asked.
"Yiyi's condition has worsened and now she needs to be hospitalized." The woman coughed as she spoke, her face full of bitterness.
"It's okay mom, I'll get better soon, and then grow up quickly, take my mother to travel everywhere, and see a lot of beautiful scenery." The little girl's words made everyone present couldn't help but be moved, and her slightly immature voice was heartwarming.
Several people sent the little girl back to the hospital room and coaxed her until she fell asleep.
Outside the door, Zhou Yinglin asked, "Sister Cai, why didn't you see Brother Ye?" ”
As soon as Zhou Yinglin's words fell, the defense line of the woman in front of her seemed to be broken through in an instant, and tears couldn't stop flowing out: "Ye Wei died of overwork and died on the construction site." The owner of the construction site also ran away. ”
Looking at the hard-working woman in front of them, the two of them felt very uncomfortable.
I don't know how long I cried, the woman slowly stopped her tears, looked at her phone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to see the joke, I'm also going to get the next job, so I'll go first." ”
After saying that, the woman began to walk in the direction of the elevator, but before she could take a few steps, she staggered and fell.
After a while, the doctor standing in front of the hospital bed looked at the woman on the bed and said softly, "You may have lung cancer." ”
"It's impossible, I'm in good health and can work several jobs a day." The woman shook her head.
"How long have you been bruising?"
"What ecchymosis, I don't have ecchymosis." The woman's eyes were bloodshot.
"What about wheezing and chest pain? Have it? The doctor continued.
"I don't hurt." The woman didn't look over, the droplets of water in the corners of her eyes kept lingering in the sockets, and finally slipped quietly out of everyone's sight, "I don't have any breath, I'm not sick." ”
Seeing that the woman on the hospital bed was not very cooperative, the doctor could only shake his head helplessly and turned away.
As soon as the woman watched the doctor leave, she struggled to support her weak body, staggered to her feet, and prepared to leave the ward.
Zhou Yinglin hurriedly stepped forward to support the woman, "Sister Cai, you are not well yet, let's rest in the hospital first." ”
The pale woman shook her head vigorously, and then tried her best to squeeze out a smile, "No, I want to make money, I and my husband calculated a hexagram for Yiyi in Lingyunguan, and the hexagram said that as long as Yiyi survives the catastrophe of seven years old, she will be healthy and healthy in the future." I couldn't have gotten sick until I had enough money to pay for Yiyi's chemotherapy and surgery. ”
Looking at the stubborn woman in front of her, Zhou Yinglin finally let go of her hand, because she knew that even if she stopped her now, she would still find an opportunity to go out to work.
"Yiyi was met when I was an intern at the hospital." On the way back, Zhou Yinglin seemed to want someone to share the mixed feelings in her heart, and took the initiative to talk about the mother and daughter.
She had chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which left her with chronic weakness, inability to eat, a persistent low-grade fever, and unimaginably severe limb pain. But every time I saw her in front of her parents, she was smiling, and I never told her parents that I was uncomfortable, what a strong girl she was. ”
Although he is not a traditional medical student, Lin Shu is not unfamiliar with this disease, and the sympathy on his face suddenly became even more sympathetic, and he said: "But I remember that this type of leukemia cannot be cured, and it can only be used to alleviate the symptoms as much as possible, control the development of the disease, and achieve the possibility of prolonging life, but it will still be in pain." ”
Zhou Yinglin nodded, and the tears in her eyes slipped down at once, "Yes, why would God be so unfair and let their family suffer so much." ”
Lin Shu silently handed Zhou Yinglin a tissue, sadness seemed to be contagious, and the two walked quietly like this.
After a long time, Lin Shu suddenly said, "Let's go to the hospital tomorrow to visit the mother and daughter." ”
