Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 5 Hospital
Uncle Ge said that the night gave me colored eyes, but I used them to look for light.When I woke up, my eyes were completely black. I wanted to check if my eyes were blind, but I found that I couldn't even lift my arms.

"He's awake." It should be the nurse's voice. With the noisy footsteps, I seem to hear a lot of people coming in.

"Thirteen, talk to your mother!"

"Thirteen, big sister is here!".
"Am I disabled, am I blind?" I said a few words with all my strength.

"No, no, don't think about it. Your eyelids were scratched by the glass. You almost lost your eyesight. Your legs and arms are broken in multiple places. You'll look like a normal person after you've recovered."

I could feel that when my father spoke, his tone was not joyful, and seemed a little sad, but at least I was still a whole person.

"Thirteen, you... your mother... is gone."

"What?" I was so excited that I wanted to open my eyes quickly, but I couldn't open them. Tears flowed down from the corners of my eyes, soaking the gauze.

"Don't get excited, son", my father persuaded me from the side.

It turned out that a trailer was going too fast downhill, unable to brake, and hit our car directly.The location of the impact was the car door on the mother's side. When the ambulance arrived, the mother was out of breath.

Although my side is not fatal, it is also very dangerous. There are eight or nine fractures on my body, and my eyes are almost blind.Dad and the crash were just a little scratch. Hearing this, my whole body seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and the voice in my ears was also blurred.

But I just heard my mother talking to me!

Within a few days, the gauze was removed, and the doctor said that ventilation would help the wound recover.Seeing that the seeds are about to be planted, my father can't come to take care of me every day, and my eldest sister will come to see me almost every day after finishing her elder sister's funeral.And I don't know how to face the future life.

In mid-March, the eldest sister was going back to school, and she was about to write her graduation thesis, so she exchanged some pleasantries and left.But now I can only sit, because there are plaster casts on my limbs, and I need nurses to help me to go to the toilet every day.But I'm not that shy boy anymore, I don't care about anything now.

Everyone has started school, and I am still in the hospital. I can only look at the sky and ceiling outside the window.

In April, the head teacher brought the students to visit me and launched a fundraising event.Indeed, during the period of hospitalization, the family's savings should have been almost exhausted, and my father's sideburns began to turn gray. I told him that I should go home and take care of him.But he rejected it, and said that I will not be able to take care of it well, what should I do if I become disabled in the future?I don't have to worry about money.My father has a stubborn temper, so I couldn't hold him back, so I simply didn't talk about it.

Li Xiao and Chen Xiaohe also came here a few times in private. Every time Li Xiao came, he always said that he had a crush on a high school senior and said how brave he was.

Looking at his antics, I couldn't be happy at all.Every time Chen Xiaohe came here, he would read me the notes in class. He didn't want me to miss too many lessons, but she knew that I didn't have much interest in studying now, and I was often in a daze.She didn't say much, she just kept telling me to hold on and help me with tutoring when I went back to school.

tail of july, you're a leo
It's already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and I still can't sleep. There were two uncles in my ward, and they were both admitted to the hospital because of drinking.After staying with me for one night, they all left. They said they were companions, but it was better to say they were mixing up. The two of them snored so loudly that I couldn't sleep all night. I couldn't stand the sleepiness during the day. , fell asleep.When I woke up, my father came to deliver dinner and said that it was noon, so he didn't wake me up because I was sleeping so soundly.

After dinner, my father put on his glasses, picked up the newspaper and read the news to me.Such episodes seem to be staged every day, but he never discusses them with me, but he reads them with gusto.I also listened intermittently, but he didn't seem to be interested in me, so he simply told me about his days working in the production team.

In the spring of 1982, the land at that time was owned by the company, and then distributed to everyone. No matter what was planted, it had to be handed over to the company, and the company paid everyone.

Speaking of food stamps, in fact, they were not popular in our family for a few years before they were canceled privately, because growing food at that time was really not like it is now, the output was very low, and the company often did not spend money.

Dad and Mom just got married, and the family couldn't get rid of the pot, and Dad couldn't do anything, seeing that the corn piled up in his field didn't belong to him, so he planned to steal some corn and sell it.It is one's own food, and it is a bit ugly to say that it is stolen.When he said this, there was a smile on his face, but it disappeared quickly.Because that night, he said he saw a ghost.

After ten years of turmoil, there are very few ghosts and snake spirits among the people, and even animals can't become spirits, let alone ghosts.But looking at Dad's serious expression, it doesn't look like he's lying.Influenced by my grandfather since I was a child, plus these experiences of my aunt, I will not treat these things with a joking attitude, and it seems that I have not laughed for a long time.

That day, Dad borrowed a four-wheeler with a trailer with Fa Xiao, and rushed to No. [-] Land, thinking about getting a car and a half of corn to sell.After the two discussed it, they set off.

The east side of No. [-] land is next to the paper mill, the north side is a small river, and the west side is a small graveyard.According to common sense, you should go along the wall of the paper mill in the east, but my father was afraid that it would be hard to explain if he was seen, so he walked to the cemetery in the west.

This decision made him feel that it was not very wise even when he was young. It was so unlucky in the middle of the night.My dad didn't care about that, he just drove over.The two men held the shovel, and it didn't take long for the trailer to be filled with each shovel.Throwing the shovel into the car, the two of them happily planned to go home, but saw a white shadow standing there in the middle of the tomb circle.The two of them knew very well the principle that more things are worse than less things, so they quickly took the lead in the car and evacuated in one go.

On the second day after returning home, Dad planned to go to Faxiao to sell corn together.When I arrived at his house, I found that Fa Xiao had a high fever, and he was talking nonsense, saying that it was too evil, too evil.When my father saw it, he was probably frightened and called a doctor from the health center. This doctor is estimated to be more than 100 years old if he can live to this day. Their family has been doctors for generations.

Seeing the situation, he lifted the quilt and picked up the skin on his lower back. My father said that he could clearly hear the sound of "crack, bang, bang". After pulling it for more than ten times, it stopped .People stopped talking nonsense and went into shock.

When he woke up, he said that he didn't remember anything, and my father didn't think much about it. He said he would take good care of his illness and invite him to drink later, so the matter was over.

I fell asleep again unconsciously while listening to my father talking, maybe because I slept too much during the day, when I woke up, I found it was only eleven o'clock, and my father probably went home too.

This is great, there is no entertainment in the middle of the night.Although I recovered relatively well, I couldn't walk too fast. I sat up slowly to make it easier. I lay down every day and went to the toilet with difficulty. Fortunately, I ate fruit every day.

After moving for a long time, I moved to the door. When I opened the door, I found a person standing at the door.An old man in hospital clothes had an incongruous colorful string tied around his wrist, the kind worn during the Dragon Boat Festival.His face doesn't look good, no, it's not very friendly.

"Grandpa, let me go, I'm going to have a baby." The old man seemed a little surprised when he heard what I said, his eyes widened, but he still stared at me motionlessly.I got hairy when I saw it, and wondered if this year was a year of Tai Sui, this is not something dirty.

At this time, the old man suddenly moved, but slowly approached me, and after a while, his face was almost attached to me.

He doesn't want to take advantage of me. Although he looks quite old, I am now about a third-level disabled person. I shouldn't even be able to beat a child.

I quickly closed my eyes, hoping that all this was an illusion. After waiting for a while, I found that there was no movement. When I opened my eyes and found that there was nothing in front of me, I breathed a sigh of relief.While moving to the toilet, he greeted the eighteenth generation of the old man who stayed up most of the night to scare people.

The convenient process was very painful, but it was finally completed smoothly.On the way back to the ward, I would pass the nurse's station. I clearly remember that when I passed by the nurse's station, the old man was standing behind a smiling nurse on the phone, and he looked back at me.

I hurriedly turned my attention away, it was none of my business to hang on high, don't meddle in other people's business is the ancestral motto of our old Zhong's family.

After tossing and turning for a long time, I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.The next morning I was woken up by the noise outside the door. I rubbed my eyes and looked at my watch. It was only after five o'clock.At this time, my father opened the door and came in. He looked back when he came in.

"What's the matter outside, dad?"

"It's nothing. It seems like an old man died. He died last night. The nurse called and didn't find out. The family members are making trouble there." My father was talking there, and I looked outside the door, just as the nurses were pushing the deceased A car passed by, a hand drooped out from under the white sheet, and a colorful rope was tied around the wrist.

My mind was buzzing, last night, could it be true?Isn't this the plot in the movie? The feelings are all adapted from real events.I hurriedly told my dad about what happened last night. My dad looked at me like a lunatic, saying that I was dreaming. I wanted to explain it, but it seemed like I was suddenly discouraged. I lost interest. Do not believe it.

Time flies, and I just missed my second semester of high school in the hospital.

The summer vacation is coming, and I have almost recovered. I changed into my own clothes, and my father also finished the discharge procedures. He took a taxi and said that he would take me to Erma Road to have sex.

As soon as he entered the store, he saw Li Xiao sitting there, with Chen Xiaohe sitting beside him.Li Xiaoting is embarrassed to say that they are together now, I can't figure it out, but looking at Li Xiao carefully, it seems that he has lost a lot of weight, but a friend's wife can't be bullied!Think about it carefully, alas, forget it.I have never chased anyone myself.

Some people will ask, have you been in love since high school?Hehe, many of our class got married after finishing junior high school. It’s a formal wedding. The family conditions are not good. It’s better to save the money for college and start a family.

I looked at them helplessly and stopped talking. My father took a bottle of Erguotou for the first time today and said he wanted to drink some with me. Bring him a daughter-in-law back.

If I remember correctly, two years ago I took a sip of the medicinal wine at home, and he found out and beat me half to death, saying that I would break my legs if I wanted to drink.Forget it, I just want to escape reality for a while, and wine is the panacea at this time.I drank it in one breath with the glass in my hand. For the first time, I realized that the wine was really bad. I didn't know whether it was because the hospital was too depressing or the wine was too choking. Tears flowed out uncontrollably.

My father patted me on the shoulder and said, go to my mother's grave with him tomorrow.I nodded, wiped away my tears, and poured another glass.

"I wish you two grow old together and have a son!" I don't know why I said this.

Immediately afterwards, I drank another cup, and seeing me like this, Li Xiao also drank it with me.My father answered a call and said that the second aunt's house had just broken four wheels and he went back to fix it. When he left, he stuffed 300 yuan in my pocket and said that his classmates should not spend the money.I can't remember how many cups I drank, I just remember squatting in the toilet and almost vomiting gall.

The summer in the Northeast is very cool. When I was young, I went to the springs on the mountain to drink spring water. I caught the cicadas and let my mother fry them back home, but I never tasted my mother’s craftsmanship.

I leaned against a big birch tree and thought to myself, if I can really see ghosts, why can't I see my mother?Hearing Li Xiao and Chen Xiaohe chattering behind him, he felt inexplicably upset.

"There seems to be someone over there?" Li Xiao suddenly pointed to the distance, while running towards me.

"Slow down, don't fall to your death."

"Can your mouth not be so bad? Look, there seems to be a real person over there." I looked along Li Xiao's hand, and there was a person standing on the hillside on the other side of Heigouzi.

Judging from my many years of experience and the length of the other person's hair, it should be a woman. Looking at the back, it is estimated that the hair is not bad.Li Xiao took Chen Xiaohe and planned to go over and have a look. After all, the black ditch over there was quite dangerous.In desperation, I had no choice but to follow.

When I walked to a place about eight or nine meters away, the man suddenly turned around. I guessed wrong, it was a man.A sense of heroism leaked from between his brows, a bit like some kind of hero in ancient times.He took one look at me and jumped straight down the hill.Li Xiao quickly chased after Chen Xiaohe.

"Stop chasing, it's dangerous!" I yelled from behind, but Li Xiao continued to chase, but the two of them slipped and fell down.I hurried over, there was no one else.

Alas, it seems that we have to enter this hole again.I carefully found a suitable position, took a deep breath, and slid in.
