Chapter 193: Back to the compound
Not long after he left, Li Yanan came to the debridement room with the items, but when she saw that Wu Xiangdong was the only one left in the room, her expression seemed very calm.
"Doctor Wu, did you let him go?" Li Yanan asked.
"Yes, I asked him to leave."
Wu Xiangdong nodded and was about to explain, but found that Li Yanan was already minding his own business and said: "He has no money to pay, so staying in the emergency room is not an option. Letting him go is indeed the best way so far."
"Aren't you angry?" Wu Xiangdong was a little surprised. After all, he could see that Li Yanan seemed to be quite interested in the young man.
"How could that happen?" Li Yanan smiled shyly and said, "I just thought of my brother who was far away in my hometown when I saw him."
"The same age, the same choice, he insists on going out for a career, but his family can't persuade him, so he ends up moving away. So far, except for phone calls during the holidays, he has no news at all."
"I really don't know how he is doing." Li Yanan seemed to see the shadow of his younger brother in the young man, so he kept taking care of him out of kindness.
"So that's it." Wu Xiangdong knew that he had misunderstood Li Yanan, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm also afraid that something will happen."
"What's the matter? I don't even know him." Seeing Wu Xiangdong's concerned look, Li Yanan's face turned slightly red.
However, Wu Xiangdong still said uneasily: "You still need to pay more attention when you work night shifts in the emergency room in the future."
"When something like this happens, don't rush forward alone. Call a security guard on duty first or call me directly, otherwise it's still too dangerous."
Speaking of this, Wu Xiangdong's expression was very serious. After all, the emergency room is different from the ward. The door can be locked directly with a chain, and outsiders are prohibited from entering at night.
But this is not possible in the emergency department. You must always be prepared to receive patients. If someone is drunk and causing trouble at this time, you will be easily hurt.
Therefore, regarding self-protection, Wu Xiangdong actually agreed with the previous opinion of the emergency room nurse Zheng.
After all, only by ensuring that you are not harmed can you possibly save more people.
Seeing Wu Xiangdong's worried look, Li Yanan also understood the serious connection, so he said: "Actually, I realized it later. I was too anxious this time."
"If something like this happens again, I will be the first to call you for help." When Li Yanan said the last sentence, his face turned red obviously.
However, due to the lighting, Wu Xiangdong did not see her changes. After hearing Li Yanan's reply, Wu Xiangdong was obviously relieved.
At this time, as the young man left the emergency room, the entire hall returned to calm. Since Wu Xiangdong wanted to go back to visit Grandma Gu, he did not choose to stay in the emergency room.
After saying goodbye to Li Yanan, he walked out of the emergency room. At this time, except for a waning moon and a few stars shining brightly, everything else in the sky outside was shrouded in darkness.
Wu Xiangdong was walking on the road, looking at the scattered street lights emitting a faint yellowish light. At this time, there were a few moths bumping up randomly, making a stamping sound.
"It's really getting dark faster and faster. It's better to go back quickly and see how Grandma Gu is doing." Wu Xiangdong glanced at the dark market across the road and didn't dare to delay. He immediately set off and walked inside.
Although it looks a bit desolate from the outside, when you go inside, there are lights hanging in front of every door. The joy of the whole family and the smell of fireworks coming from inside make people feel particularly warm.
But such scenes became less and less as the alley went deeper. Until the three-story building appeared, the warm scene just now had almost disappeared.
Perhaps because it was too late, the entire compound seemed empty, with no one around.
This made Wu Xiangdong remember the scene on the first day he came to the compound. Everyone gathered together. Grandma Gu's hospitality, Wenjie's cleverness and funnyness, and Wendi's cuteness made the whole yard full of laughter.
After Wu Xiangdong briefly recalled it, he could only sigh slightly when he saw the scene in front of him.
Just when he was about to visit Grandma Gu's home to check on her injury, he noticed a figure flashing quickly in the dark courtyard.
Seeing his sneaky look, Wu Xiangdong frowned.
"Is it possible that there was a thief in the yard?"
You know, usually at this time, Wenjie is guarding the yard, ready to close the gate when the time comes.
But today, because he was in the hospital with his sister, and the incident was urgent, he probably didn't notify the residents of the compound, which gave people an opportunity.
"Since Wenjie has entrusted the tenant affairs to me, we can't let anything happen to the compound on the first day."
Wu Xiangdong leaned against the wall and did not move. He wanted to see what this guy wanted to do.
Just when Wu Xiangdong made up his mind, the guy quietly came to Grandma Gu's door.
Just as he reached out and was about to turn the handle on the wooden door, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Who are you?"
The low and somewhat hoarse voice, like a demon in hell, made the man shiver all over.
Before he could react, an arm stretched from behind to the front of his neck and locked his neck tightly.
The man was immediately stuck and couldn't breathe. He instinctively grabbed his arms with both hands, trying to resist.
But then, he felt a sharp pain in his popliteal fossa, and his whole body was pulled backwards by a strong force.
Suddenly, his center of gravity became unstable and he stumbled to the ground, where he was locked tightly.
"Quick...stop, I can't breathe."
Zhao Pengcheng blushed and flopped on the ground for a long time without getting up.
After hearing his begging for mercy, Wu Xiangdong, who was behind Zhao Pengcheng, was obviously stunned, "Why is it you?"
As he spoke, the strength in Wu Xiangdong's hand gradually slowed down, causing Zhao Pengcheng to breathe heavily.
Facing Wu Xiangdong's inquiry at this time, Zhao Pengcheng almost cried in his heart, "Brother, why did you come back at this hour? After I saw off Grandma Gu, I didn't dare to leave because I was afraid something would happen."
"But I waited and waited and smoked all the cigarettes in my pocket, but I still didn't see you come back. I really couldn't help it. I was just about to go out to buy a pack of cigarettes when I ran into you."
When Wu Xiangdong heard his explanation, he still had a cold face: "Why are you opening Grandma Gu's door to buy cigarettes?"
Facing the questioning, Zhao Pengcheng was troubled and could not tell. At this moment, Grandma Gu's door opened from the inside.
I saw Grandma Gu walking out on crutches.
She saw Wu Xiangdong in front of the door at a glance, and immediately said: "Doctor Wu, don't get me wrong, I insisted on waiting for you to come back. Xiao Zhao saw that I was alone at home, and he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he stayed here with me out of good intentions.
