As the nurse left, only Wu Xiangdong and the old man were left in the entire emergency room.

Wu Xiangdong looked at the medicine in the infusion set, which was slowly dripping into the old man's body. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle, in your current situation, it's better not to work outside. After all, the weather is getting hotter.

Your body won’t be able to handle it.”

Facing Wu Xiangdong's persuasion, the old man's eyes were a little dim. He sighed and said, "If the family is still there, who would be willing to live with their face facing the loess and their back turned to the sky every day."

As soon as this statement came out, Wu Xiangdong was not very surprised, because he had already keenly noticed this when he came to the emergency room.

He looked at the woven bag placed in the corner. The lines on it had been worn away by the age and the color was gone. The bulging bag was being fixed with a hemp rope, as if all the belongings were placed inside.

It's inside.

After the treatment just now, Wu Xiangdong found that he was different from the old scavengers he usually encountered. The cultivation revealed in his words and deeds gave people an inexplicable contrast.

At this time, the old man's cloudy eyes seemed to reflect his longing for his family, but in the end this longing stopped in reality.

After getting to know Wu Xiangdong, he learned that the old man used to be a young man who supported farmers. Later, he got married and had children in the countryside. However, he was caught up in a natural disaster. Both his wife and children died of illness one after another, leaving him alone.

world.

The old man could not accept this reality for a while. He felt that he had failed his wife and children, and because of the criticism from the village, he silently left the village and began a bumpy and homeless life alone for decades.

Maybe he felt that his end was approaching, or he wanted to return to his roots. The old man who had traveled to many cities finally returned to this place. However, before he could enter the village, he was admitted to the hospital because of his health.

Looking at this old man who had suffered many vicissitudes of life, Wu Xiangdong couldn't help but sigh. It is said that hemp ropes are only broken at the thinnest places, and bad luck only seeks out the poor. Things like this may be something that the emergency department will often face in the future.

At this time, the old man's liquid had been injected. Wu Xiangdong looked at the empty glass bottle and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Uncle, how are you? Are you feeling better?" Wu Xiangdong looked at the values ​​on the monitor and asked the old man.

"Okay, no problem." The old man got up from the rescue bed and coughed inadvertently.

Although the cough was not as severe as before, Wu Xiangdong's heart still sank. He looked at the old man with a mixed expression.

The old man saw Wu Xiangdong's slightly worried eyes, then grinned and said, "I'm an old man. I think even the King of Hell despises me."

"Don't worry, I've caused you a lot of trouble during this period. I'm really sorry."

While he was talking, the liquid in the infusion set stopped dripping due to gravity, and the connecting tube at the needle in the old man's arm also began to return blood.

Seeing this, Wu Xiangdong could only bend down and pull out his steel needle from the blood vessel, and then stuck it on the stopper of the glass bottle to prevent the waste disposal staff from being stuck by the needle.

"You must remember to take the prescribed oral medicine on time." Wu Xiangdong helped the old man up and found that his body was really light and his bones looked like they would break if touched.

What the old man was holding in his hand at this time was the doctor's order that Wu Xiangdong had just issued. It clearly stated the medicines that the old man needed to take on time every day.

The usage of each item and each item is very detailed. Wu Xiangdong was even afraid that the old man could not see clearly, so he specially wrote it in larger handwriting.

The old man looked at the neatly written medical instructions on it, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were twitching. At this time, he did not dare to face Wu Xiangdong at all, so he could only lower his head and continue walking out.

Facing such a group of kind-hearted people, the old man felt guilty because he knew that he could not afford the medical expenses just incurred for the treatment.

Just when he walked to the door of the emergency room and didn't know how to face the violent storm that followed, Wu Xiangdong's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Uncle, don't forget to take the things you put in the corner."

Wu Xiangdong stood there and did not choose to follow him, because doing so would make the old man even more embarrassed and uneasy.

"Doctor Wu..."

The old man felt like there was a lump in his throat and could no longer control his tears. His weather-beaten cheeks were full of tear stains. It turned out that Wu Xiangdong had no intention of letting the old man bear this expense from the beginning.

"Thank you." The old man wiped his tears and put the woven bag in the corner back on his back with his rickety body trembling.

The huge woven bag formed a sharp contrast with the old man's thin body. At this time, he looked at Wu Xiangdong again, his eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

"Uncle, remember to take your medicine." Wu Xiangdong smiled, sincerely and sincerely. Then he turned his back to the old man and began to organize the supplies in the emergency room.

The old man naturally knew that Wu Xiangdong did this because he was afraid of embarrassing him. He bowed as a thank you. After a few hesitations, he secretly took something out of his arms and carefully placed it on the counter. Then he slowly left the emergency room.

.

With the sound of the emergency room door closing, Wu Xiangdong straightened up and looked back at the empty emergency room, as if the old man had never been here before.

"Hey." Wu Xiangdong shook his head slightly, looking a little depressed. But when he opened the door of the rescue room and was about to leave, he found a woman standing at the door, looking at him with interest.

"Wang Jia?" Wu Xiangdong was startled by the person in front of him. He quickly looked around. Only when he found that the old man had left did he feel relieved.

"Wu Xiangdong, why are you acting so secretly, as if you have done something wrong?"

Wang Jia looked at Wu Xiangdong, who looked guilty as a thief, with a playful smile in the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Do I have one?" Wu Xiangdong deliberately puffed out his chest, as if he was upright and not afraid of the shadow.

However, Wang Jia's next words still defeated Wu Xiangdong, "Don't worry, the old man just now has left along the road outside the emergency department."

"You still discovered it." Wu Xiangdong scratched his head, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Did you let him go?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jia's unchanging cold expression seemed to have changed slightly. She looked at Wu Xiangdong in confusion, her eyes full of doubts.

The old man who left just now had a sickly look on his face, and he was even breathing heavily when he walked. This seemed to be a problem, and given Wu Xiangdong's character, he would never let him leave at will.
