Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

The smell of disinfectant, doctors and nurses in white coats hurried along the corridor, and a gust of wind was brought up by their walking, which lifted the corners of their white coats to each other.

Outside the operating room, the "Operation" sign was on red, and they opened the door to keep irrelevant people out.

At the end of the corridor not far away, the doctor and the police were having a hard time talking. Among them, some of them were holding a thick stack of medical records and trying to explain the data on it, while the other part was talking on the phone one after another.

Everyone is busy.

Lin Pai stumbled down the stairs, his hands wrapped like rice dumplings, and a splint was fixed on his left hand.

He wanted to get around the group of people, but he couldn't get around even after walking left and right. The anesthetic hadn't faded, so he couldn't raise his hand, so he simply bumped them away with his shoulder.

The doctor and the police gave him a surprised look, and they didn't bother to ask him any more questions, so they moved out of the way.

Two nurses chased after him. They briefly explained to the group of people, and then repeated what they said to Lin Pai, "Student! You just finished the operation and need to rest now!"

Lin Pai stood in front of the closed operating room for a moment, his chest was heaving violently because of the tension, he turned around and asked the two nurses, "Who is in the operating room? Is it the boy who came with me?"

"Yes, the doctor is still operating on him, you go back with us to rest first." After answering, a nurse came to him, ready to help him back to the ward.

Lin Pai wanted to get rid of her, but he couldn't lift his arms, and almost lost his balance, so he fell to the concrete wall next to him.

The nurse helped him up in time, and said in a stern tone, "If you do this again, the newly joined bones will split again, don't you want your hands!"

Lin Pai shook his head embarrassingly, moved to the rest chair next to him and sat down, and said to them with red eyes, "Then, I'll sit here and wait, I won't go anywhere, just sit here, is that okay..."

The nurse was still a young girl, she couldn't help being moved when she saw him like this, she softened her heart and said, "Then... well, we are still busy, if you need it, come to the nurse's station."

Lin Pai nodded. After they left, he looked at the red light sign, and his anxiety gradually calmed down, replaced by emptiness.

The noisy voices around are very far away, the black leather jacket who shouted a few hours ago is very far away, Heshan High School and Shi'an City are very far away...

There seemed to be the ticking of various medical instruments in my ears.Then he thought of a rose laughing and weeping and withering in the emptiness.

"Lin Pai! What's going on here!"

After a while, he saw an old man with tears in his eyes pounced on him, followed by two people, one of whom was wearing a white coat.

"Hello, we received a report that someone was fighting in the school. When we arrived at the scene, those people had already run away. We will try to..."

"Hello, his condition here is a fracture of the metacarpal in his left hand, moderate bone contusion in the palm of his right hand, and multiple soft tissue contusions all over his body. The operation went well. Our suggestion is to stay in the hospital for three days for observation..."

Some people are hoarse, some people can't bear it, some people are helpless, this is the world.

Lin Pai didn't know if they were talking to him.Anyway, he nodded dully.

The words "in operation" changed from red to green, and he saw the door of the operating room being pushed open. After a while, a group of people pushed a hospital bed out.

"Has the patient's family members come?" a female doctor asked.

Lin Pai wanted to step forward, but his legs were as heavy as lead. Later, he found out that his grandmother was still holding him.

At this moment, a policeman walked over, "His father won't be here until tomorrow, so let me handle any formalities."

The female doctor glanced at his ID, nodded and said, "The operation went well, and now we will be transferred to the intensive care unit. After the anesthesia passes, the patient can be transferred to the general ward when he wakes up."

These few words are also far away, but they float back and forth, gently lifting the rose.

Lin Pai struggled to stand up, and then lost consciousness again.

At twelve o'clock at night, the pain in the palm of his hand came continuously, and Lin Pai slept very restlessly.

Faintly hearing movement in the ward, he half-closed his eyes to adapt to the light for a while, and saw a new patient transferred into the ward.

"Just take a good rest at night, and ring the bell next to the bed if you feel uncomfortable." The nurse pointed to the call bell for him, then checked all the instruments for him, and wrote down something in the notebook.

Just as the nurse was about to leave, she suddenly noticed Lin Pai's gaze. She came over and wiped Lin Pai's sweat, and said in surprise, "You're awake too, have you taken the painkiller?"

Lin Pai shook his head.

The nurse helped him get up from the hospital bed and gave him a painkiller, "It's past the visiting time, your grandma said that she will come to see you soon, you should have a good rest at night, if you have something to do..."

She looked at Lin Pai's tightly wrapped hand hesitantly, then pointed to the bed next door with her chin, and said, "Ask him to press it for you. You have been waiting outside the operating room for so long. You should have a good relationship." of."

Lin Pai nodded.

The nurse turned off the lights and left the room.Lin Pai lay on the pillow, and it took some time for his eyes to adapt to the darkness. His night vision has always been poor, or his eyesight has always been poor.

But when he turned his head to look at the bed next door, he immediately recognized Xu Rui's eyes, Xu Rui was also looking at him, and they smiled at each other.

Lin Pai got up from the hospital bed, and lightly kicked a small bench to Xu Rui's bedside.

He sat on the bench, wanting to tilt his head and lie on the edge of the bed.Xu Rui had a plaster cast on his leg and couldn't turn over. He stretched out a hand and used his palm to cover Lin Pai's face.

"Does it hurt?" Xu Rui asked.

"Ok?"

"Hand." Xu Rui glanced at his hand hanging by his side.

"It actually hurts."

"You hugged me so tightly back then, so you wouldn't have to suffer if you hid behind me." Xu Rui smiled with him, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Lin Pai, I'm sorry."

Lin Pai was unexpectedly not angry, he raised his head, put his chin on Xu Rui's palm instead, and blinked at him, "Why are you sorry?"

"What happened tonight has nothing to do with you, they came after me."

"Well...then you can find a way to compensate me." Lin Pai lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then glanced at his plastered leg and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Xu Rui shook his head, pointed to his heart with the other finger, and said, "It hurts here."

"Then I'll ring the bell for you!" Lin Pai smiled and stood up. He bent down, looking like he was going to hit the button with his head.

Xu Rui put his arms around his waist and stopped him, "The two of us together have become a whole mummy, you are still joking, please sit down and let me see you."

Lin Pai sat back beside his hospital bed. Instead of lying down, he lowered his head and swayed his legs boredly. The moonlight shone lightly on his back, tracing a thin outline.

"What are you thinking?" Xu Rui asked him.

"Thinking about tonight... Some time ago, I often felt that someone was following me, but I never found anyone. Now it seems that they are collecting our action routes, for example... I know that you go to the equipment room every evening.

The man in the black leather jacket said at the time, "How many brothers He Hui has put in prison", so this is their act of revenge. "

"Did the police tell you anything?"

"No, they just took my notes." Lin Pai held up a pair of "boxing gloves" of his own, pondered for a while facing the moonlight, and said, "No, no, no, the four of them, the two of us, should still be There is a group of people, the one who came to the classroom to inform me belongs to this group, Fang Zhenghao, he must have something to do with him."

"Are you Sherlock Holmes?" Xu Rui asked half-jokingly.

"I'm thinking about these things seriously, Brother Rui, we can't be so passive all the time."

"Well, someone mentioned Fang Zhenghao's name at the time, but he is not very smart, and there must be someone else to help him. It stands to reason that Zhao Kun would not do such immoral things. He just passed the college entrance examination in a few months. Should be fine."

"When I take off this pair of boxing gloves, I must figure this out." Lin Pai lay on his back, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Think about this first, rest early, and talk about it tomorrow."

Lin Pai turned his head and glanced at Xu Rui. Although he knew that he was dismissing him, he closed his eyes cooperatively and didn't make any noise.After a while, he fell asleep lightly.

Xu Rui frowned, and clenched his teeth to prevent himself from making a sound. After a burst of throbbing pain, the pillow sheet was soaked in cold sweat.

He also couldn't tell whether the pain was gone for a while, or he had already formed a habit of this level of pain.

He looked at Lin Pai palely, his breathing sound was very even when he was asleep, and he was in a good state of mind when he spoke just now, and he still had the energy to sort out the ins and outs of the matter, so the injury should not be serious.

Xu Rui smiled contentedly. Fortunately, fortunately, the stick didn't hit him.

For the next whole night, Xu Rui lingered between light sleep and waking up. Apart from the pain, he also needed to repeatedly confirm that Lin Pai was by his side.

The next morning, as soon as the family members in the inpatient building came to visit, Grandma Lin Pai arrived at the ward with two thermos buckets.

She looked around Xu Rui's casted leg with concern, walked around the hospital bed and put one of the insulated buckets on the bedside table, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... good boy, you've been tossed like this... can you eat it yourself? ?”

Xu Rui raised his hands and shook them, and said, "My hands are fine, grandma, you can take care of Lin Pai."

"Oh..." She nodded, turned around and walked to Lin Pai's bed, and helped him to sit up, "Are you feeling better today? Are your hands still hurting? When I came over, I saw them all sitting Eat downstairs, I'll take you too
