Chapter 62 Twenty-six

After closing in the evening, we were all exhausted. We had to endure every minute of the four or five hour shift just now.The master praised us, saying that we really managed to hold our breath and did not cause trouble.He settled the bill and gave us a special reward of one hundred yuan each, but he sighed and warned us: Sons, you have all seen tonight how hard it is for us!You usually only complain about the strict discipline of the master. Look, is the outside world very friendly to us?If the situation is still like this tomorrow night, those outsiders will come to our Anle Township to make troubles and tear down the place, sons, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in this place any longer!

Back at Mr. Fu's house, it was already midnight and the weather was a bit chilly. I was wearing a military jacket left by Fu Wei.All the lights in Mr. Fu's house were turned off, and it was pitch black. I felt the darkness and went to the porch.Usually Mr. Fu goes to bed early, but he always turns on a small light in the entrance to let me illuminate the way.I didn't come back last night, so I couldn't help feeling a little worried.After I entered the house, I quietly walked outside of Mr. Fu's room, and listened intently through the door for a moment. I seemed to hear a faint groan in Mr. Fu's room.

Old man, I called out in a low voice. There was still a humming sound inside. I opened the door and walked in. The light was not turned on in the room. In the darkness, the moaning sound from the bed of Mr. Fu became more and more clear, as if he was breathing heavily. Difficult.I turned on a lamp on the bedside chest of drawers. Mr. Fu was lying on the bed, his face was pale, beads of sweat were beading from his forehead, his two iron-grey eyebrows were tightly knit together, and his throat was always twitching. Hoarse groans, looking extremely painful. Father, what's the matter?I knelt down, approached Mr. Fu and asked.

Mr. Ah Qingfu called out with difficulty, and went to pour a glass of boiling water. I hurried to the kitchen, poured a cup of warm water from the kettle, and brought it back to Mr. Fu's room. That bottle of medicine Mr. Fu raised his hand and pointed to a plastic medicine bottle on the chest of drawers beside the bed. Inside the medicine bottle were green capsules of pills, not the medicine Mr. Fu usually took.I remember that Mr. Fu said that this is a special medicine, it is really a heartache, and it is for emergency use.The bottle says to take one pill every six hours.I took out a pill, helped Mr. Fu to sit up, stuffed the pill into his mouth, slowly fed him half a cup of boiling water in the glass, and then put his head back on the pillow .Mr. Fu's hair was soaked with sweat, and it was a cold sweat. I took out my handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks for him.

Old man, do you want me to take you to the hospital to see a doctor?I asked, Mr. Fu's illness seems to be very serious this time, and I couldn't help feeling a little panicked.Mr. Fu waved his hand, his eyes were still closed, and said: After taking the medicine, I'm fine for the time being. Tomorrow I'll go to Mr. Rong to see Dr. Ding. Dr. Ding Zhongqiang, Dr. Ding is the attending physician of the Cardiology Department of the Veterans General Hospital. He has always treated Mr. Fu's heart disease. Then I'll take you there early tomorrow morning, old man.I said. Mr. Fu nodded, and after a while, he opened his eyes, and then slowly explained the cause of his illness. It turned out that he went to Lingguang Nursery in Zhonghe Township in the morning to treat the crippled man without arms. The child Fu Tianci took him to National Taiwan University Hospital to see a doctor.Fu Tianci has been ill for a week and has been running a fever.The nurse's special doctor prescribed medicine, but it didn't work. The child was very sick. Mr. Fu couldn't bear it, so he wanted to take him to National Taiwan University Hospital for treatment.Unexpectedly, the elevator at National Taiwan University Hospital was broken, and the internal medicine clinic was on the third floor.Usually Fu Tianci walked unbalanced and fell easily, not to mention he was ill.When Mr. Fu half hugged and dragged Fu Tianci up to the third floor, he collapsed from exhaustion, and his heart ached in the hospital, and he almost passed out.After Mr. Fu finished speaking, he looked at me for a while, with a tired smile on the corner of his mouth, and murmured:

Ah Wei's clothes are just right for you, Ah Qing. I looked down at the dark green military jacket I was wearing, and said: It's getting a little cooler outside. At night, I slept in Mr. Fu's room and rested on a rattan couch in the room.Neither of us really fell asleep that night. Mr. Fu was probably very uncomfortable, and he would groan after a while. When he groaned, I would wake up with a start. This went on and on until dawn.I got up to boil the water and made a glass of Ovaltine. Mr. Fu refused to drink it at first, but after persuading me for a long time, I finally finished the glass of Ovaltine.I found a double-breasted jacket and put it on for Mr. Fu.Then I went to wash up quickly. At 8:30, I stopped a taxi at the entrance of the alley and helped Mr. Fu from the bed. His right arm was around my neck, but my left hand was scratching Passing his hunched back, hugging his whole body, the two leaned on each other, supported each other, and staggered down the porch step by step.

When we arrived at Shipai Rongzong, it was not yet nine o'clock, and we registered a special number.In Dr. Ding's outpatient clinic, it was Mr. Fu's turn first, and the nurse specially pushed a wheelchair to take Mr. Fu in.I waited outside for about forty minutes, but Dr. Ding came out in person to talk to me.Dr. Ding Zhongqiang is a tall, silver-haired doctor, wearing a white uniform, with a dignified appearance. He called me over and said in a low tone: Your old man is seriously ill this time, I want him to be hospitalized immediately. Oh, are you coming in today?I asked in a whisper.

Move in today.Doctor Ding said firmly. Then he gave me a rough explanation of Mr. Fu's condition.Mr. Fu's heart has always been weak. This time he has a myocardial infarction, and he will go into shock at any time. If he faints or falls, he will be in immediate danger.Then he handed me a certificate of hospitalization signed by him, and told me: You first go downstairs to go through the hospitalization procedures, your old man is doing an electrocardiogram. I went downstairs to the inpatient room and completed the hospitalization procedures for Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu is an old veteran and does not need to pay the hospitalization fee in advance.Back upstairs, Mr. Fu had already finished the electrocardiogram. He put on a green patient nightgown, sat on a wheelchair with his back bent, and let the nurse push him to another consultation room.He saw me, but called me over, and told me in a weak voice:

You go back first and bring me two sets of clothes that I washed and changed, as well as my toothbrush, face towel and other things. Let’s talk about it later.In the past few days, I'm afraid you're going to run away at both ends. It doesn't matter, old man, I quickly responded, do you still want to bring the medicine from the old man's house? No need, Mr. Fu waved his hand, and Dr. Ding prescribed another medicine. Father, I'm going, I'll be right back, I said, I won't go to work at night. Mr. Fu's lips trembled, and when he wanted to say something, he only nodded.I turned to leave, but Mr. Fu's hoarse voice asked behind me:

Do you have money? have!I turned around and patted my trouser pocket and smiled.
