章)In the middle of the winter night, a series of rapid and sharp horns on the road broke the silence of this ordinary winter night.
A few minutes later, several ambulances stopped in front of the door of the emergency hall of the First Peoples Hospital of the city.
The rear door of the car opened immediately after it stopped, and the ambulance personnel carried the injured person lying on the mobile bed out of the car. The doctors and nurses on the car followed closely behind, "Quick! Send him directly to the emergency room! Also notify the orthopedics department to come for consultation!"
"Understood!"
The wheels rolled hurriedly across the floor of the emergency hall, leaving a stain mixed with blood. Before the cleaning lady had time to deal with it, another new stain was printed on it. In a short while, the originally smooth and clean floor became extremely dirty.
A major chain car accident occurred on the elevated road within the city ring. The First Peoples Hospital of the city, which was closest to the accident site, received a notice from the transportation department. All departments within the hospital made various preparations to receive patients early in the morning. As the only way for the injured to be admitted for treatment, the emergency department naturally took the lead.
As the number of injured people increased, various wailing and shouting in the emergency hall also followed one after another. The red light in the emergency room did not go out for a long time, and the nurses in front of the triage desk were like a clockwork top, spinning and busy.
At about four oclock in the morning, the medical staff who had been busy all night had just taken a breath, and another new injured person was pushed in unexpectedly.
Before others could make any move, Meng Ruchuan on the side took the lead and simply checked the vital signs of the injured. His voice was not as tense as before, "The wound is not big, and the amount of bleeding is also small. Go and treat the wound first, and then send it for a brain CT scan to prevent cerebral hemorrhage."
After speaking, Meng Ruchuan turned his head and glanced at the young doctor following behind him, "Wen Jiang, this patient is in your charge."
Meng Ruchuan is the director of the emergency department. Wen Jiang has been interning under him since graduation. After listening to his arrangements, he nodded and agreed.
By the time he was done, the sky outside was about to brighten. A faint halo appeared in the clouds in the east, and the sun that rose and set in the evening was hidden behind the layers of clouds, revealing a shadow.
The dirty ground earlier was cleaned up, and the air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. If you smell it carefully, there seems to be a little bit of blood and some other unknown smells, which mixed together to form the unique smell of the hospital, dull and depressing, but full of hope.
Wen Jiang took a cup of hot water and stood in front of the window at the end of the corridor. The hot steam from the cup blurred the morning light. The emergency room was not quiet, but it was much calmer than the previous chaos and noise.
Wen Jiang did not stay in front of the window for long. It was just the time to drink a glass of water, and then he returned to the emergency room.
After the emergency patients were received and processed, there were still many trivial matters to follow up. The patients medical record alone was enough to give people a headache.
Meng Ruchuan has always been strict about these things. Wen Jiang did not dare to delay and went to the ward before returning to the office.
Fang Cheng, a familiar nurse on duty in the ward, talked to her, "Why havent you gone home yet? Arent you off duty today?"
Wen Jiang shook the notebook in her hand, and said helplessly, "How dare I go back when the medical record hasnt been written yet."
Meng Ruchuans rules for leading interns are well known in the entire emergency department. Fang Cheng could only give Wen Jiang a sympathetic look after hearing this.
Fortunately, Wen Jiang is still an intern, and there are not many patients under his charge, and the situations are not very complicated. After checking them one by one, Wen Jiang closed the notebook, stretched out his hand to pinch his sore shoulders and neck, and walked out slowly.
The emergency corridor in the morning was sparsely populated, and the winter sun fell in through the glass on the fire escape door, a thin layer, without much warmth.
Wen Jiang lowered her eyes to think about something, not noticing the man passing by. Halfway through her walk, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Third brother, this way!"
Wen Jiang stopped, came to her senses, turned her head to look at the source of the sound, but only saw a slender and broad back silhouette flashing past the door of the ward.
She didnt care and walked straight back to the office.
On the other side, Chi Yuan had just stepped into the ward, and then he seemed to remember something and turned back to look outside the corridor.
A long corridor went straight to the end, and there was nothing.
Xiang Ningchen followed his line of sight and looked out, but he didnt see anything. He retracted his head with a puzzled look on his face, "Third brother, what were you looking at just now?"
Chi Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, his tone was lazy and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false, "I saw a ghost."
I dont know if it was an illusion, but after hearing Chi Yuans words, Xiang Ningchen always felt a chill on his back. He couldnt help shrinking his neck and complained helplessly, "Third brother, you should at least pay attention to the occasion when you joke. This is in the hospital."
Maybe you really saw a ghost.
Even if Xiang Ningchen had ten times the courage, he would not dare to say the second half of the sentence in front of Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan had been playing all night at a friends newly opened bar last night. Just as he was getting sleepy, Xiang Ningchen called him to the hospital. He was in a bad mood and a little irritable. He had no patience to take care of Xiang Ningchens fragile heart. "Youre talking so much nonsense. Wheres Chengyu?"
"There." Xiang Ningchen pointed in a direction. Chi Yuan looked over and met Xiang Chengyus gaze, which he couldnt withdraw in time.
Chi Yuan snorted and laughed, then looked back at Xiang Ningchen, "Whats going on with you two?"
After saying that, he lowered his head and approached Xiang Ningchen. He smelled a little bit of alcohol on him, and his tone suddenly became cold. "Drunk driving?"
"No!" Xiang Ningchen was about to argue, but he caught a glimpse of the nurses gaze and pushed Chi Yuan out of the ward.
The two stood in the corridor, and Xiang Ningchen reached out and scratched his chin, "No drunk driving. I did drink, but Chengyu was the driver, he didnt drink."
Chi Yuan didnt answer, waiting for him to continue.
Xiang Ningchen hesitated for a long time before saying a few words, "...but Chengyu hasnt got a drivers license yet."
Chi Yuan endured it again and again, but finally couldnt help it, raised his hand and slapped Xiang Ningchen on the back of the head, "How dare you let him drive on the elevated road without a drivers license?"
Xiang Ningchen didnt dare to speak again even if he had a hundred reasons.
Chi Yuan scolded the culprit in a few words, and before he was done with his anger, he pulled the person lying down and scolded him, "Xiang Chengyu is already 20 years old, how come he hasnt even got a broken drivers license yet?"
"Im taking the test." Xiang Ningchen said tremblingly, "I just took the second subject test a few days ago, and failed. Im waiting for the make-up test these two days."
Chi Yuan felt a throbbing pain in his head.
The three of them grew up in the same family compound. Xiang Ningchen and Xiang Chengyu are brothers with a two-year age difference. Chi Yuan is two years older than Xiang Ningchen. Originally, according to Chi Yuans age, the two Xiang brothers should call him the eldest brother, but Xiang Ningchen has two older brothers in his family, and the Chi and Xiang families are old friends. They were afraid of calling him too much, so they simply arranged their own order by age, with Chi Yuan ranked third.
Since they were young, the two children loved to play behind him. Perhaps it was because his responsibility as an elder brother was too dazzling. They still had the habit of not looking for anyone but Chi Yuan when they encountered problems. Even when Chi Yuan went abroad to study, he often called him for help in the middle of the night.
Chi Yuan didnt speak, and Xiang Ningchen didnt dare to speak either. He just lowered his head obediently, but couldnt help but secretly look at him from the corner of his eye.
The man frowned, looking a little impatient, his dark eyes were full of displeasure, and it was almost written on his face, "Im very unhappy now and want to hit someone, youd better stay away from me."
Xiang Ningchen couldnt help but want to step back, so his body subconsciously took a step back.
The movement was not big or small, Chi Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly. Xiang Ningchen wanted to die, and begged for mercy with a sad face, "Third brother..."
Chi Yuan raised his hand, rubbed his thumb against his temple twice, and finally let go, "I will deal with this matter, but it wont happen again."
After getting this definite answer, Xiang Ningchens heart, which had been raised all night, finally returned to its original position, and he explained to Chi Yuan the accident tonight in a few words.
It was unfortunate that Xiang Chengyu had been driving without a license for a while. Today, he was on the elevated road for the first time. He encountered a chain car accident before he went too far. It was not a big deal, but he was nervous and mistook the accelerator for the brake. He suddenly hit the rear of the car in front of him, and the cars in front of him had some minor bumps.
The situation of the car accident in front was critical at that time. They had no time to deal with this small rear-end collision carefully. After the traffic police understood the situation, they recorded the photos and identity information of the two people for evidence, and then arranged for medical staff to take the two people to the hospital, waiting for follow-up accountability.
The family rules of the Xiang family have always been strict. To this day, Xiangs father still advocates stick education. Xiang Ningchen did not dare to tell his family about this. When he woke up, he called Chi Yuan as soon as possible.
"Third brother, I promise this is the first and last time." Xiang Ningchen was now relaxed. Seeing that it was time for breakfast, he said, "Third brother, are you hungry? Do you want to go downstairs to eat something?"
He didnt think so at first, but after he mentioned it, Chi Yuan was really a little hungry even though he was very sleepy. He nodded and said, "Lets go."
When he walked downstairs, Chi Yuan took out his wallet and took out a few red bills and handed them to the driver waiting by the car, "Thank you for your hard work. Go eat something first and come pick me up in half an hour."
The driver took the tip that was obviously more than the actual salary, thanked him, returned the car keys to Chi Yuan, and turned to walk to the side path.
There is a time-honored porridge restaurant opposite the hospital. Xiang Ningchen ordered two signature set meals for dine-in and another one to take away.
While waiting for the meal, Xiang Ningchen thought of the gossip he had heard some time ago. He looked up at Chi Yuan who was sitting opposite him playing with his phone, and couldnt help asking, "Third brother, I heard that Uncle Chi is planning to arrange a marriage for you?"
Hearing this, Chi Yuan raised his head, put his phone on the table, and said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "How did you know?"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ningchen knew that the gossip was most likely true, "I heard my mother mention it casually a few days ago, is it true?"
Chi Yuan didnt answer, and glanced out the window casually.
The porridge restaurant was built beside the road, facing the gate of the city hospital from a distance. There were cars coming and going on the road, and people were constantly flowing.
Xiang Ningchen couldnt resist the gossip factor in his heart, and kept chattering, "Which girl, have you seen her? What does she look like? Is she pretty?"
A figure crossed the road outside the window, getting closer and closer, so close that it was almost overlapping with the figure Chi Yuan had seen in the photo not long ago.
"What kind of..." He looked away, raised his chin to the window, and said nonchalantly, "Shes like that."
