Xingchuan

The liver donation operation is scheduled for a week later.

It was a cloudy day, with dark clouds outside, and the air was cloyingly damp.Ling Yi, dressed in a hospital gown, sat on the hospital bed with her hands folded on her knees and looked out of the window. The distant mountains were covered by thick dark clouds, leaving only a spire.

He met his biological father Wu Shiqian again the night before.After living for more than [-] years, the father and son met almost all of them in this week, and of course it wasn't because Wu Shiqian suddenly thought of him as his son.

It's because of this liver.

He reached out and touched his stomach.

Since he was a child, no one kept it from him. Since he was sensible, he knew that his biological father was someone else, but he didn't know who it was, and thought he had died long ago.When he was 22 years old, he was suddenly told one day that his father was not only alive and well, but also alive and well, powerful and powerful.

At first he was really happy for a few days, imagining that finally someone could rescue him from the fire pit.It turned out later that it wasn't what he thought at all.Wu Shiqian abandoned his wife and son first, and climbed another high branch later. Now not only has no intention of recognizing him, but wants to cut half of his liver away from him to cure his cirrhosis of the liver.

Life is so ironic.Obviously only this body is still healthy, but there are still people who want to squeeze his oil, drink his blood, and pick off his bones as firewood.What's more ironic is that these people occupy the commanding heights of public opinion. If you don't accept exploitation, they will poke your spine and call you unfilial. If you offer an equivalent exchange, they will point your nose and call you lustful.

It is said that blood is thicker than water, and it is imperative to save his biological father, but when he is bullied and insulted, where is the so-called father?

To Wu Shiqian, Ling Yi is not a flesh and blood at all, at best it is just a mistake made by an educated youth when he jumped in line, a mistake that men all over the world will make.In Wu Shiqian's words, Ling Suhui is the root cause of this situation. If she is not allowed to give birth, she will give birth, so it would be better if she shed it as soon as possible!

Not long after, someone came to push Ling Yi into the operating room.After all, he was only in his early twenties, and he hadn't experienced any life-or-death events. His lips were so nervous that his lips turned white.

"What about your family? Who will take care of you after the operation." The nurse asked.

"Only me." He refused to say more.

This trip came without telling his mother Ling Suhui, and the purpose was to get money to go abroad and start a real new life.

Li Xingchuan deliberately came late that afternoon, and the surgery had already started when he arrived.

There was no one in the stepfather's ward, only a set of clothes on the bed.Just as he was about to leave, the nurse came in and bumped into him, "You recognize the patient in bed No. [-] next door, right? Come, I'll give you his things."

A transparent sterile bag with a metal object at the bottom.Li Xingchuan clamped the mouth of the bag with his index and middle fingers, and moved his gaze to the bottom of the bag.

"It's a navel ring, taken from him."

"There are more and more navel rings now, almost every week. But I think..."

While the nurses were chatting nonstop, Li Xingchuan saw that fair and delicate face covered in rain, with a waist so thin that it was not much wider than the book.He picked up the bag, looked at it, and put it away in his coat.

That night, Ling Yi, who was overwhelmed by the anesthetic, was in such pain that he couldn't sleep, and couldn't even turn over.

Only a small light was turned on in the ward, and the wound looked like a knife cut. He moaned slightly, sweat dripping from his forehead.At an unknown time, a tall figure came in.

"Your things, take care of yourself." Li Xingchuan threw the bag containing the navel ring beside the pillow.Just as he was about to leave, a hand gently grabbed his sleeve.

"Wait...call me a nurse..."

The voice sounded weak.He looked down at the hand on the sleeve, and pressed the calling bell expressionlessly.

The nurse rushed over within a minute and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

Ling Yi muttered and couldn't speak.The experienced nurse approached with a smile, and said halfway through, "I want to urinate but I can't, wait, I'll help you find a way."

The incandescent lamp above his head suddenly turned on, Li Xingchuan raised his eyes slightly, and saw the gray face on the hospital bed.Ling Yi's eyelids were covered with cold sweat, he twisted his lips and said nothing, I don't know how long he had endured it.

Soon the nurse brought hot water, wrung out the hot towel and applied it to his lower abdomen.Lifting the quilt, thick gauze covered the bloody wound, Ling Yi's face turned pale, then red and then white, and he sucked in a suppressed breath in his throat.

"Come here," the nurse beckoned to Li Xingchuan, "press the towel for him, and I'll give him a massage."

The room was dead silent.

"Come here." The nurse scolded, "Aren't you classmates, you can't help me with this little help?"

Li Xingchuan finally walked over with a rather ugly expression on his face.

"Come on, press here, lightly."

The naked lower body is just like this, nothing is clearer than this.A big hand pressed down on his lower abdomen with a towel, his facial features turned towards the white wall.Gradually, Ling Yi was in severe pain from being pressed, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her left hand involuntarily held the wrist of her right hand resting by the bed.

Li Xingchuan frowned, but didn't take out his hand.

I don't know if it was because of nervousness or what, but not a drop of urine came out for a long time.

The nurse frowned and joked, "You have a stubborn illness." Then she looked at Li Xingchuan, who only offered two hands, "Can you whistle?"

"No." Li Xingchuan's tone was cold, his annoyance was evident, as if he was about to get up and leave the next moment.

"How can such a big boy not even whistle."

Li Xingchuan frowned, pulled away the hand held by Ling Yi, took out his mobile phone and whistled directly.

"Is it loud enough?" He satirized in a low voice, "Is it not enough? I'll connect another speaker."

"..." The nurse gave him a reproachful look.

Ling Yi's eyes turned red, she turned her head and said nothing, but it didn't take long before the hand on her lower abdomen hurt sharply.In order not to make a sound, he clenched his teeth tightly, knocking his upper and lower teeth slightly.

A moment later, the back of the head was pushed.Turning his head with difficulty, Li Xingchuan looked at him indifferently, "Shout when it hurts."

Ling Yi's lips were tightly pursed into a line, and she refused to utter another syllable.

After a long torment, the night gradually deepened.When the nurse left, she turned off the light and closed the door. Li Xingchuan went out to wash his hands, and threw the coat he took off on the chair.Ling Yi's whole body seemed to have just been fished out of the water, and the back of his neck was wet.

Not long after, Li Xingchuan came back to get his coat, and when he was getting dressed, he heard the person curled up on the hospital bed whisper: "Thank you for tonight."

He zipped it up and ignored it.

"I saw you when I was a child." Ling Yi's thin back protruded from the shape of the spine, "When you were seven years old, you didn't see me at that time. I remember you riding a dark blue transmission."

That time it was Ling's mother who brought Ling Yi. The mother and son guarded the gate of the old party school for a day, and finally followed Wu Shiqian back to the nearby community, where they met Li Wei's mother and son who joined him.

At that time, Ling Yi didn't fully understand these things. She only remembered that her legs were sore from waiting and her stomach was growling with hunger, but her mother still refused to leave.That was the only time and the last time Ling Suhui came to see Wu Shiqian, even though she did not meet each other in the end.

"I was thinking at that time, you are so tall." His voice was very low.

"What are you trying to say?" Li Xingchuan looked at him calmly.

Ling Yi was silent for a moment, turned over slowly, looked up stubbornly: "Don't tell others about me? Just pretend that these things never happened, anyway, we won't see each other again in the future."

He refers to the matter of exchanging half of the liver for 50 yuan.

Li Xingchuan looked at him condescendingly: "Since I feel disgraceful, why did I agree?"

Ling Yi's face was pale, and his lips moved: "This is my business."

—

That night, the two returned to their own worlds.

A few days later, Li Xingchuan came back to the hospital with several plastic lunch boxes in his hand.As soon as he entered the stepfather's ward, his mother frowned, "Didn't I tell you that the two of us have already eaten, so you don't need to buy it?"

"If you eat leftovers with your classmates at noon, take them home and feed them to the dogs."

"Don't get too close to those stray cats and stray dogs, beware of germs. Last time you were caught like that on your neck, don't you know how to learn a lesson?"

Stepfather Wu Shiqian didn't know what secrets he was browsing, his eyes were glued to the phone, and he didn't care about what the two of them said.

"In a while, you go and settle the hospitalization fee next door, and we won't care about it afterwards." Li Wei deliberately said this in front of Wu Shiqian.

"Can he be discharged from the hospital?" Li Xingchuan asked.

"The money has been taken, the thread has been removed, what are you going to do if you want to stay here?" Li Wei crossed his legs and knocked on the bed frame with his shoes, "Send him away as soon as possible, we have one less thing to do, do you expect him to stay as long as possible?" filial piety?"

Wu Shiqian snapped his fingers, as if he was deaf, and did not express any opinion.

The pungent fragrance of flowers in the ward was all sent by Wu's subordinates.Li Xingchuan sat for a few more minutes, then got up and walked outside.

Li Wei asked: "Leave now?"

"There are classes in the afternoon."

Leaving this ward, turned around and went to the next door.

Ling Yi can indeed get out of bed and is packing her things.It seems that no one needs to rush, he is very self-aware.Hearing the sound, a pair of clear eyes looked over from behind the closet door, "Why didn't you knock?"

Li Xingchuan walked over and threw a stack of documents on the bed, including ID cards, medical insurance cards, and medical records.

Ever since he agreed to have the operation, Li Wei withheld his ID on the grounds of going through the formalities for him, and was only willing to return it today.Ling Yi saw it, quickly put it in the bag, and took out her clothes from the cabinet.Halfway through the arrangement, he seemed to think of something, and asked seriously, "Have you paid the hospitalization fee?"

"No," Li Xingchuan glanced at his abdomen, "Take your other half of the liver in exchange."

This person's attitude has always been like this. If you can save it, you can save it. If you can't save it, it's not pleasant. Ling Yi is used to it.He didn't ask any more questions, anyway, asking for money is not a life-threatening thing, and if it's a big deal, everyone will know about it.

After tidying up, I saw a takeaway box on the bedside table.He looked at the steam-covered box in the plastic bag, and then at Li Xingchuan, "You bought it for me?"

His face was full of disbelief, and even his eyes lit up a few degrees.

Fingers stuck in his jacket pocket touched the receipt given by the restaurant, and Li Xingchuan silently folded it into cubes, "Take it home to feed the dog."

Ling Yi was startled for a moment, then her cheeks were burning, and she clenched her teeth and stopped talking.

Li Xingchuan ignored him and left after the documents were delivered.After he left, Ling Yi packed up all her things, checked it one last time before going through the discharge procedures, and then noticed the dog food that had been left on the table.

After struggling for a while, he unwrapped the bag and found a bowl of rice porridge, half a steamed fish, and two pieces of hard-boiled eggs inside.

—

Li Xingchuan had nothing else to do that day. After returning to school, he went to help set up the stage for Xie Siyun's drama club.After returning to the dormitory after ten o'clock, the mobile phone rang in a hurry before changing clothes.

It's a landline number.

He picked it up and heard the other party ask, "Are you Li Xingchuan?"

"I am," he took off his shoes, "Who are you?"

"This is the Public Security Bureau of the Western District. Do you know a person named Ling Yi?"

Li Xingchuan paused for a moment, took off the phone and checked the phone number again.

The other party repeated: "Do you know Ling Yi?"

"know."

"Then you come here now, we need to check with you in some cases."

He glanced at the sneakers he had just taken off, put them on again without much hesitation, "What did he do?"

"Extortion."
