No journey is smooth sailing. On the other hand, a journey without interruptions is monotonous.
After Renault entered western Hunan, the climate became weird; it was sometimes rainy and sometimes foggy. After driving off the highway from Jishou, snowflakes fell suddenly, and the road leading to Phoenix was shrouded in a confusing snow world.
If it was just snow, just drive slower; Renault turned the last mountain pass, the lights of Phoenix were not far away calling guests, but the road was blocked, and a car accident blocked the road.
One was a black official car, and the other was a minibus common in western Hunan, the kind converted from a truck. It was only covered with tarpaulin and leaked air everywhere. The people who took this kind of bus were poor locals and Miao people.
Today is New Year's Eve. Many tourists who have returned from afar are catching the last bus to go home for the Spring Festival. The minibus is overloaded and packed with people up and down.
The cause of the car accident is clear at a glance. In the snow, the driver of the official car drove more steadily. The minibus was also going downhill and was too fast to brake. In order to avoid a pair of Miao father and son carrying baskets, it hit the tail of the official car.
The minibus was lying on the road, and the two people on the bus were thrown out. They appeared to be seriously injured.
Zhu Tong stopped the car. He didn't want to get involved in such noisy matters, but Ye'er ran down first to check on the injured, so he had to follow him.
"Don't be afraid. Where is the injury? The doctor will be here soon."
Doctor, everyone knew who Ye'er was talking about. Zhu Tong smiled bitterly in his heart, asking himself, a professional liar and amateur doctor, to come forward again; but Ye'er was soft-hearted, so he couldn't say much, so he rolled up his sleeves and examined the injured.
Fortunately, the car accident had just happened. Two injured people fell into the snow. One suffered a dislocated shoulder joint. Although it hurt, it was easy to treat. After Zhu Tong reset his joint, he began to face the other injured person who had a headache.
This was a thinly-clad young man with a pale face and blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. His pulse was weak and he had stopped breathing. He was in shock.
The fracture of the right upper arm is easy to handle, but the fracture of the ribs is fatal. One of them must have damaged the lung.
Zhu Tong took out silver needles and sealed several acupuncture points on his chest, and then carefully pressed his heart with his breath; he fainted from the severe pain, causing cardiac arrest.
"Ahem! Ahem..."
The boy's heart began to beat, and a "hissing" noise came from his chest; Zhu Tong let out a long breath: Finally, his life was not in danger, but he needed to undergo surgery immediately. Looking at the boy's outdated clothes, the huge medical expenses that followed should be
It is unaffordable; it would be difficult for a minibus driver to come up with such a large sum of money at once.
The snow still hasn't stopped, and the poetry in the tourists' eyes fell on the young man's body, which was like a cold shiver; Ye'er took out his coat from under the car and put it on the young man, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a tissue; Mei Lanting also came over and put his hand in his hand
The juice bottle was put to the boy's mouth.
Zhu Tong saw Mei Lanting put a small pill into the boy's mouth. He raised his head and smiled at her. Mei Lanting's pill must be a good thing.
Over there, the driver of the minibus was being scolded by the driver of the official car. In fact, there was no major damage to the two vehicles. The bumper of the official car was cracked and the headlight of the minibus was broken.
The driver seemed to be very honest, and would only say: "Don't hit anyone, I'll pay for your bumper, okay?"
"How are you? Is your life in danger?" Zhu Tong raised his head and saw a face that was not unfamiliar.
"There is no danger at the moment, but he needs surgery immediately."
"Doctor Li, is his injury serious? Can the hospital in Phoenix City perform such an operation?" The other party also recognized him, smiled and nodded: "Hello, we meet each other everywhere in life, I didn't expect to meet again."
Zhu Tong stood up, no wonder the voice sounded familiar. Two months ago, at the Tianwang Temple in Phoenix City, he had fortune telling for this graceful middle-aged man. His surname was Wang.
"Hello." Zhu Tong stood up, held the middle-aged man's extended hand, and said worriedly: "He needs a professional thoracic surgeon to perform surgery. At this time, I'm afraid the doctors will go home for the New Year."
"Is the hospital in Phoenix OK or not? Is the hospital in Jishou OK?"
What is being discussed now is a matter of life and death. The middle-aged man's words show some dignity, and he can feel that he is a very powerful person. Zhu Tong hesitated and said: "It's best to go to Jishou, the hospital there should be able to do it."
Such an operation."
"Thank you." The middle-aged man squeezed Zhu Tong's hand tightly, let go, and turned around and said: "Contact me immediately and let them prepare for the operation immediately."
The young man standing behind the middle-aged man took out his mobile phone and dialed the number without any courtesy. He asked Zhu Tong about the condition of the injured person while talking to him. After two minutes, he put away his mobile phone and said to the middle-aged man: "Secretary Yuan is here.
Contact the hospital and the surgery can be done in an hour."
"You will follow him to the hospital in a moment; it's time to celebrate the New Year, so don't have any accidents."
"Yes, but the chief..."
The middle-aged man frowned, and the young man covered his mouth with a shy smile.
"Anyway, his injury has something to do with us. Go tell the driver, Master, to stop arguing and move the car. Today is New Year's Eve. Let everyone go home early to celebrate the New Year. There is only one Spring Festival in a year."
The young man turned to break up the fight, and the middle-aged man turned to face Zhu Tong: "Dr. Li, can I know your name?"
Zhu Tong took out a business card and handed it over with both hands. Those who can be called chiefs are all officials of a certain level; Zhu Tong was very curious about his identity, so he did not say his name and gave the business card as a silent request. Under normal circumstances,
The other party should also return the favor with a business card.
"Ocean Hospital, Shanghai; Dr. Li, it seems that we are really destined; I am also from Shanghai."
Sure enough, the middle-aged man also took out a business card and handed it over. Zhu Tong glanced at it through the car lights and was surprised.
There are only three words on the business card: Wang Xiang frame.
The title below is, Consultant of Huayi Foundation.
He is the visitor from Beijing who has been tested to see if he knows him, the husband of Head Nurse Xia, and the leader of the mysterious financial working group.
"Mr. Wang, are you also in Shanghai?"
"Yeah, didn't you suggest that I go to Shanghai?" Wang Xiangjie said half-jokingly, looking back at the lights of Phoenix City; "Two months ago, right there, Dr. Li did a fortune-telling for me; I am
I came to Shanghai after following your advice."
Ye'er stood up and took Zhu Tong's arm: "Can you tell fortunes?"
Zhu Tong smiled bitterly: "I'm just telling you nonsense. Mr. Wang won't take it seriously, right?"
"Who is this?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile when he saw Ye'er.
"She is my girlfriend, and we are coming to Phoenix to celebrate the New Year."
"My name is Su Ye." Ye'er extended her hand generously.
"Okay, okay, the golden boy is just the right girl. Miss Su, your boyfriend is a very capable man, so you must keep an eye on him. He gave me a dog-skin plaster last time, and it was very effective." Wang Xiangjian took a step back and said,
Carefully admiring Zhu Tong and Ye Er standing side by side; "Doctor Li, I still owe you a penny, does it count as repayment this time?"
"I don't know." Zhu Tong knew that Wang Xiangjie was talking about repaying the debt, and he was talking about the boy in the snow. He should bear all the boy's expenses; however, a little liar would not give up so easily to a big shot, and said with a smile
; "The car accident has nothing to do with me, and he has nothing to do with me."
"Yes, it seems that Dr. Li deliberately made me owe you a penny; haha, okay, okay, I owe you."
"A penny?" Ye'er looked at Zhu Tong and Wang Xiangjie strangely; one penny is really too small a number.
"It's one cent, Miss Su. Dr. Li gave me five words: Peacock flies southeast; Gua Qian is one cent. For these five words worth one cent, I went to Shanghai."
Wang Xiangjie was talking, but Zhu Tong was embarrassed to answer. He squatted down and grabbed the boy's right arm, using techniques to reset his broken arm bone. He put on dog skin plaster, folded four branches from the roadside and tied them up. Peacock flying southeast? Wang Xiangjie really knew how to do it.
Just kidding, the little liar doesn't believe that a casual word of his can affect his future.
"Don't move any more here. It will heal in two weeks." This was what Zhu Tong said to Wang Xiangjian's entourage.
After working in Ocean Hospital for a while, Zhu Tong knew the standard of doctors today. Injuries like this would most likely require surgery to nail nails in the hospital, and the boy's right hand couldn't withstand such torture.
The road ahead has been cleared and the minibus driver drove away.
Zhu Tong leaned into Ye'er's ear and whispered a few times. She turned around and kissed her lover on the side of his face. She ran back to the car and took out two thousand yuan and stuffed it into the boy's pocket.
"You are so kind." Xiao Xiao walked down with Yin and Yang in his arms, and immediately retracted when the cold wind blew.
An ambulance drove from the direction of Phoenix City, picked up the injured and drove to Jishou. Wang Xiangjian's young entourage followed.
The driver of the official car reversed the car, and the female secretary Zhu Tong saw last time opened the door for Wang Xiangjian.
"Where do you live? Phoenix City is very famous for the Spring Festival. Many people come here to celebrate the New Year, but they are afraid they will be late and cannot find a place to stay." Wang Xiangjian asked with concern before getting in the car.
Ye'er smiled sweetly: "Uncle Chen left a room for us."
"Uncle Chen." Wang Xiangjian muttered something and said to Zhu Tong: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I will go to Tianwang Temple to offer incense. Doctor Li Xiang, will you go?"
"I will definitely go. It is appropriate to burn incense on the first day of the new year."
"Okay, okay, goodbye." Wang Xiangjian shook Zhu Tong's hand, got in the car and left.
Mei Lanting drove the Renault over and shouted: "Get in the car, I'm going to starve to death."
Not only her, but Uncle Chen was also starving to death. When Zhu Tong and his party arrived at the inn, it was already eleven o'clock.
The lights in Phoenix City are bright, and tourists from far away are walking on both sides of the Tuojiang River, setting off river lanterns, setting off firecrackers, and shouting happily.
Grandma Chen greeted her at the door early, took Ye'er's bag, looked carefully up and down, and smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. It was as if they were not guests from afar, but children of her own family who were away from home.
In the main room, Uncle Chen put out a sumptuous dinner table and complained: "I said it would be there at nine o'clock, but I saw it was snowing, so I advised the old lady to eat first. She said that she would have to wait for Ye'er to eat before it tastes good."
So, a few tourists from afar simply freshened up and then sat at the table to enjoy the two old people's wishes.
