Chapter 11: Zhang Youzhi, a poetic man
The driver stepped on the accelerator and deviated from the planned route and drove towards the hospital.
Zhang Youzhi's body lay strangely in a pool of blood, spitting out blood.
Everyone scrambled to help Zhang Youzhi up, while the driver honked his horn and shouted to see if anyone in the car was a doctor or nurse.
An aunt took out a pile of toilet paper and wiped Zhang Youzhi's mouth and nose. The two adults reluctantly dragged Zhang Youzhi to lean on the carriage. Another aunt's hand held his head firmly to prevent him from hitting the seat. Naturally, there were
He was covered in blood.
A young couple was making an emergency call to 120. The boy’s phone was shaking and he couldn’t hold it steady. Finally, his girlfriend grabbed it and dialed the emergency number.
The old man tremblingly took out a bunch of handkerchiefs from his pocket, which contained broken and worn banknotes. Without looking at the quantity, he stuffed them all into the semi-conscious Zhang Youzhi.
The old man has been poor all his life, and this little bit of money is all the property he can afford.
Zhang Youzhi barely recovered, tremblingly took out a pill from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth without chewing it, swallowed it mixed with blood, and then quietly leaned on the car seat with his eyes closed.
After a long time, after confirming that the progress of his body's collapse had been forcibly curbed, Zhang Youzhi opened his eyes and tried to stand up with the chair.
A sticky fingerprint was stuck to the edge of the chair.
Zhang Youzhi held the broken money wrapped in plastic bags in both hands and stuffed it back into the uncle's hand.
"Sir, I'm fine. My own problems have nothing to do with you."
With that said, Zhang Youzhi bowed deeply to everyone in the car.
By this time, the hospital had arrived. The driver stopped the car and turned around to ask loudly what was going on.
"Thank you, thank you. I'm going to the hospital right away. I didn't cause any trouble to you."
"Driver, I'm sorry, you stained the car. Please open the door for me." Zhang Youzhi said to the front, and walked to the door step by step, stepping on the blood marks.
The people standing in the bus spontaneously made way for Zhang Youzhi.
Someone came to help him, but Zhang Youzhi blocked him back. But one student was particularly persistent and was pushed away several times before being helped.
"Brother, let me follow you to the hospital. I just went on summer vacation and I have nothing to do." The student supported Zhang Youzhi and took the initiative to take the backpack that was still bleeding.
"thanks, thanks."
Zhang Youzhi continued to reject his kindness, rubbed his hands on his pants a few times, and helped him slowly to the door of the car.
The driver opened the car door decisively, left the driver's seat and went to the rear door, almost holding Zhang Youzhi down.
"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Youzhi thanked everyone in the car again, and then walked to the hospital gate with the support of the students beside him.
The bus still stayed there and stared at him for a while. It was not until a few minutes later that the driver restarted and left.
…
"Student, what high school are you studying in?" After leaving the bus, Zhang Youzhi did not go directly to the hospital, but walked in a circle, walking more and more steadily.
It didn't look like he was about to die at any moment in the car before.
The students next to him looked at him suspiciously.
"Senior high school student from He No. 1 Middle School. Brother, let's go to the hospital quickly." The student scratched his head and wanted to go up and continue to support Zhang Youzhi, but this person dodged him again.
Zhang Youzhi really didn't want to get blood stains on him anymore.
"Oh~ thank you so much." Zhang Youzhi thanked him seriously and then stood at the door of the hospital.
Looking up at the signboard of Heshi First People's Hospital, I felt infinite emotion in my heart.
Crane City is such a well-known small city.
As for the hospital, there is no need for me to go there anymore.
"No, I'm not going to the hospital."
The short-haired student was stunned.
"Why, why? Brother, you are still like this and you still don't go in."
"The cancer is in the final stage, and there are only ten days left. By the way, what's your name? I'll send a thank you letter to your school." Zhang Youzhi walked to the green belt, sat slowly on the flower bed, and asked cheerfully
The students were shocked by his energy and energy. The old man in front of him looked only five or six years older than him. He didn't care that he had terminal cancer?
"Brother, my name is Hao Shanzhi. Why don't we go to the hospital to have a look? Your condition is too dangerous." Hao Shanzhi's attitude was very serious and he was about to come and pull him.
"No, just let me die quietly." Zhang Youzhi waved his hand to the student and asked again:
"Do you have any bridges here? Where is the nearest park?"
Seeing his resolute attitude, Hao Shanzhi had no choice but to inform this man about the distribution of nearby overpasses and parks.
"Okay, thank you, classmate Hao." Zhang Youzhi stood up, stopped looking at him, turned around and left.
He just noticed that several nurses on duty in the distance had seen him covered in blood. If he didn't run away, he would probably be caught in the ICU.
"Hey, brother, wait, I'm worried about you like this." How could Hao Shanzhi just watch him leave? He got up and chased after him.
"Stop following me. I'm going for a walk. Come back quickly and have some fun. It's not easy for high school seniors to have a holiday."
Zhang Youzhi walked faster and faster, and finally even started running.
The pills produced by Baishi Company are really powerful. Zhang Youzhi ran as fast as he could regardless of how long his life was running out.
Hao Shanzhi actually found that he couldn't outrun him!
He is a member of the school sports team!
The vomiting of blood in the car just now was not fake, was it? Who is a terminally ill patient who can run away like that?
Just when Fan Wei was at a loss, he suddenly felt a gust of white wind blowing past him.
It's those three talented doctors.
"Hey, that patient in front of me, stop here, why are you running?"
The doctors went to arrest Zhang Youzhi.
…
Four hours after escaping from the doctor.
late at night.
Crane City.
Old Hejiang Bridge.
In an inconspicuous bridge cave, Zhang Youzhi spread a layer of soft cushions for himself inside, and also spread a small printed blanket that Li Douyu gave him, using his schoolbag as a pillow, and then lay down contentedly in it.
The bridge hole was U-shaped. Lying inside, Zhang Youzhi was like a fish lying in a bowl. He was forced to bend his body, making it a bit uncomfortable no matter how he slept.
But it’s not bad. It feels like living in a cave dwelling when teaching as a volunteer. At least it’s protected from rain and wind.
It's already past eleven o'clock, and the center of the river is pitch black. Colored lanterns are hung on both sides of the river, stretching out a long strip of light into the distance.
After being chased by doctors and stopped for questioning by well-meaning people, Zhang Youzhi gave up his preparations to settle in the city for ten days, and also gave up the options of Internet cafes and cheap hotels.
It was too easy for me to die on the way. I only had the last pill left in my hand. I hoped that the primary school students and the old man on the bus in the afternoon were not frightened.
This Hejiang River is the dividing line between the city and the suburbs. It is usually very remote, but not deserted. The place where the old bridge is located is in the old city, which is far away from the city center.
In the warm little bridge cave, Zhang Youzhi patted the egg yolk pie, pie bread, calcium milk biscuits, a bottle of mineral water, two bottles of Niulanshan, and several boxes of Liqun lying beside him with satisfaction. These are all
Supplies he bought from the do-it-yourself store.
Under the bridge, Zhang Youzhi even had a neighbor.
A pair of gray geese built a nest, but there were no eggs in it.
During this period, the dry and flood season is abnormal. It can be seen that only a shallow layer of Hejiang River is left, and many reed fields and mud grass fields leak out in many places.
He also climbed into the bridge hole effortlessly along the steel ladder. Judging from the traces Zhang Youzhi found, this bridge hole should have been lived in in the past.
That being said, after he dies, he will probably have to make room for those who come after him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Youzhi decided to leave a few words for those who came after him, but soon he became inspired by poetry. He found a broken piece of red brick and used it as chalk, and he impromptuly carved a poem on the inner wall of the bridge tunnel.
[Linjiangxian·Wodonghejiang]
[The withered flowers at dawn have all faded away, and there is no trace of dust at the end of the sky. Thousands of miles of cold current is lying on my body. The starry sky is rippled, and the river is slowly moving away without leaving a trace.
Where are we going on the old road now? I don’t know the autumn and the spring. The old man holding the boat thinks of the perch. I don’t want to be lonely. I am an ordinary person in the market.]
