Three or Two Things about Rebirth

Although Qiu Luming said he was not afraid, he still had many chaotic dreams.

She dreamed that she and her classmates and teachers boarded a train from Changsha. Halfway through the journey, the conductor suddenly asked her to show her ticket. She searched through all her luggage but couldn't find her ticket. Everyone else had a ticket, but she didn't. The conductor pushed her off the train rudely. She struggled and screamed, asking her classmates for help, but everyone watched indifferently. Teacher Li, who was in charge of the transfer, suddenly turned into the strict female supervisor of the girls' school, pointing at her nose and yelling: You can't even hold your ticket, get off the train!

She shouted angrily, and suddenly found herself in Hong Kong. Everyone was saying that there was a serious epidemic on the Yunnan-Vietnam line, and people infected with malaria died suddenly. Her classmates were panicked and bought dry food and water. She didn't have much money because she had almost lost contact with her father. She regretted not knowing how to save and spent the money her father sent her lavishly.

Chen Jingyi generously sold her jewelry and bought high-end glass bottles of mineral water, which she planned to drink when she entered Vietnam. The scene changed, and she was on the train again. She saw her friend Tian Peizhi give the precious mineral water to the greasy-haired boy who was good at sweet talk. She tried to stop him, but was pushed off the train by the boy.

She screamed and fell down. She fell for a long time but did not hit the ground. Just as she was wondering, she found herself being carried on the shoulders of a horse bandit, who was riding a big horse and laughing strangely. She beat the man's back in fear and kicked her legs desperately. While she was struggling, the horse bandit suddenly slapped her on the buttocks. She screamed in shame and anger.

——I opened my eyes and the lights in the ward came on.

"Oh yo, are you dreaming?" It was the mother's voice.

Qiu Luming was panting heavily, her throat hurt badly. She sat up and hugged He Manshu, "Mom, I was scared to death..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. What kind of dream are you having? You're tickling and kicking me. You won't wake up unless I smack your butt."

"...Nothing." Qiu Luming pouted, rubbed his face in He Manshu's arms, and wiped away the tears that had just flowed.

"Don't be afraid. What happened yesterday was an accident. Don't let it scare you! If others say something unpleasant, don't take it seriously. Remember?" He Mansu said it nonchalantly, but in fact she had not slept. Whenever she closed her eyes, she thought of what happened to Su Xiaoyun, and she was always worried.

Although her daughter was unharmed, she still couldn't sleep. When she heard her daughter screaming in fear in her dream, her heart was broken, and she wanted to rush into the operating room immediately, pull her husband out, and let him die.

"Yeah." Qiu Luming nodded.

"Oh, right!" He Manshu straightened up. "What did you whisper to Xie Zhi about last night? Aren't you afraid that the Han family will talk about it?"

"mom!"

"I know, I know you've moved on, but you don't understand men's psychology. He will think that you will never forget him in your life... Do you understand?"

"...what?"

There was a noise at the door of the ward. He Manshu went to open the door. The nurse said in a low and apologetic voice, "Teacher He, I'm so sorry. That patient will be off the operating table soon. The police said he has to stay in a separate ward..."

"Oh, got it! We'll make room for it right away!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. He!" The nurse said apologetically, "Director Qiu is out of surgery. You can go to Director Qiu's office to rest."

"Don't say sorry, it's us mother and daughter who have caused you trouble."

"It's not a bother, it's just that I didn't think it through..."

The two of them were standing at the door, being very polite.

Qiu Luming sighed in his heart, his mother was just like that, no matter how unhappy she was, she would always present herself as someone who was wise and upright in front of others.

She found her handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from her head, and looked at her watch. It was two o'clock in the morning. Oh, what a patchy sleep she had.

I got out of bed, put on my cotton shoes, and walked out of the ward.

There was a noise in the corridor, and several nurses pushed the robber over. Qiu Luming really wanted to know what this man looked like, so he leaned over to take a look, and saw that the man on the moving bed had his head and face wrapped in gauze, like a big cocoon, and his face could not be seen at all.

As they walked, Qiu Jiye explained the patient's condition to Officer Xiao Zhang, "... Five stitches were sewn on the corner of his eye, eight stitches on his chin, and his scalp... his nose and cheekbones were fractured. All the wounds were sutured, and the surgery was successful. The four missing teeth can be replaced at a dentist in the future. It's just a moderate concussion, and there may be some sequelae. The patient is not conscious yet, and he may vomit when he wakes up later. Even if you want to interrogate him, you should avoid irritating him."

"Good! Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Qiu!" Officer Xiao Zhang shook hands with Qiu Jiye, "Thank you so much!"

"It's my duty." Qiu Jiye turned around and saw his wife and daughter. "Hey? You didn't go home!"

"I had been planning to go home with you, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. My daughter and I didn't dare go home, so we just slept in the ward for a while. They said they were going to vacate the ward for someone else, so we left," said He Manshu.

"You two are really reasonable and understand the greater good! This man is called Xu Changjiang. If he wakes up and knows who saved him, anyone would feel ashamed!" Officer Zhang added, "It's still a while before dawn. You two should find a place to rest for a while. I'll be guarding in the ward. He will definitely not be able to escape. He must be brought to justice!"

"You've worked hard. You just took a short nap!" said He Mansu.

"It's okay! We're used to it."

He Manshu followed Qiu Jiye to the vice president's office. Qiu Luming heard her whisper, "I'll make you a pack of instant noodles. Eat it before going to sleep."

The nurse on duty cordially invited Qiu Luming to go to the nurse duty room, and said considerately, "Go to sleep peacefully. I have to be busy until dawn and will not come back to disturb you."

"Thank you."

In this way, Qiu Luming slowly fell asleep in the smell of Lysol.

This time she did not dream. She did not know how long she had slept, but suddenly she heard her second brother's voice. She woke up suddenly, opened the door and shouted, "I'm here!"

Qiu Jiashu strode over, hugged his sister, and said angrily, "I can't leave for even a day!"

"I'm fine."

"You're still okay despite your sore throat! Go home quickly!"

Qiu Luming obediently turned around to get her down jacket. When she passed the mirror on the wall, she saw her hair was messy like a grass nest. When she got closer, she saw that her eyes were blurry. She screamed, wiped the mucus away quickly, and combed her hair with her hands.

In the corridor, Xiao Zhang came out of the ward to greet Qiu Jiashu, and blocked the door tightly, "No, no, you can't go in, his head is already messy! This way, when he gets better, I'll find a chance for you to vent your anger. Not now, absolutely not!"

Upon hearing the noise, patients and their families from other wards came out to watch the fun.

Qiu Luming went out and tugged at Qiu Jiashu's sleeve. Qiu Jiashu looked down at his uniform and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, no one has dared to mess with my sister in years!"

Xiao Zhang smiled apologetically, "There was a power outage last night, and there were no street lights. That kid had absolutely no idea that he was robbing your sister, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to mess with our sister! Lu Ming was very brave and didn't even cry. This kid got his comeuppance, his head was split open, and his bones were broken. Alas, your dad stayed up all night to perform the surgery on him, what a shame."

He Manshu came out of the vice president's office and asked Qiu Jiashu, "Didn't you go to the countryside? When did you come back?"

"Xie Zhi called me three times in the middle of the night. I called back and got anxious. I called home but no one answered, so I drove back overnight."

"Why are you panicking? I and your dad are here. It's okay. Driving in the middle of the night is so dangerous. Go home and have some sleep. We'll talk about it when you wake up!"

The family of four was about to leave the hospital, but they ran into Xie Zhi in the lobby on the first floor. He was surprised to see Qiu Jiashu, "Brother Qiu, didn't I tell you that nothing happened? Why did you come back this night?"

"Thinking about my sister." After saying this, Qiu Jiashu shook his head slightly at Xie Zhi, and the two went to the corridor together.

He Manshu frowned, "Why are you being so mysterious again?"

"Don't worry about it. They are from the same unit, so it must be a work matter," Qiu Jiye said. "Go home and make some porridge."

Qiu Luming lingered at the gate for a while, and heard Xie Zhi say, "Don't worry, Brother Qiu, these are not your photos. They are just photos of a few girls casually taken on the beach. There are several people in the back. Everyone else is laughing, but you are holding a kebab and looking at Dajiang from the side. You look so deep!"
