White dove

When Biancheng saw Tongtong again, it was not what they planned and thought. They passed by Yijiang on the way to mining, and they met logically.

Tong Tong is now lying in the ICU, unconscious.

Biancheng stayed outside for three days, his eyes were red, and the doctor told him to prepare for the worst.

Three nights ago, Biancheng was in a restless mood, tossing and turning all night without knowing why, several times he had to call impulsively to ask where Tong Tong was.

Still awake at 5 o'clock in the morning, he just sat up and sent a message to Tong Tong: "Little Tong, have you arrived yet? Is the journey going well?"

Tong Tong didn't reply, maybe he arrived very late at night, so he should still catch up on sleep.

Biancheng checked the website and saw a piece of news: At 3 o'clock in the morning that night, there was a series of traffic accidents on the Haitong Highway in Chengchuan Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Due to the continuous heavy rain, landslides were triggered, and the vehicles passing by the cliff section of the Haitong Highway were hit and slipped one after another. , is currently in emergency rescue.

There is a short video of the scene in the news. The falling mountain completely destroyed the road guardrail. The vehicle that was hit was rushed down through the gap. In the picture, a large container truck can be seen upside down in the Jinsha River, and the front half of the vehicle body is submerged in the water. , the second half stood on the water, besides, there were several large and small vehicles that were hit by the scene, hanging precariously on the edge of the cliff road, and the medical team was carrying out the bloody people from it.

Biancheng only felt a "buzz" in his head, Haitong Highway was the place Tong Tong had to pass on his way to the night last night, he quickly grabbed his mobile phone and called, but no one answered, and when he called again, no one answered.

After ten calls in a row were not answered, Bian Cheng went crazy, he called Shen Shen again, Shen woke up from his sleep, told Bian Cheng and Tong Tong the phone numbers of other people in the same group, Bian Cheng called one by one, but no one answered.

Half an hour later, Shen Chen called and told Biancheng that the car of the work team had been involved in an accident in Chengchuan, and everyone in the team was missing.

Biancheng arrived in Chengchuan on the same day and went to the hospital mentioned in the news. The medical conditions in Chengchuan are very limited. All the people who needed to be rescued in the accident were sent here. The whole hospital was in a mess. Doctors, nurses and medical resources were urgently dispatched from the neighboring state for support. .

Those who were sent for emergency treatment hadn't had time to sort out the list. They searched around the border town, but they didn't see Tong Tong, but Ruan Fei was sitting on a wheelchair in the emergency room, with his head and face swollen like a pig's head.

Ruan Fei said that the accident happened very suddenly. They saw the big truck in front of them being smashed into the river. Their car was stopped, but the whole car was crushed. The driver and the photographer sitting in the co-pilot were knocked out of the car by the huge impact on the spot. They didn't know where they fell, and they didn't know if they were rescued. He and Tong Tong Sleeping in the back two rows, he was lucky not to fall directly into the river, but the body of the car was hit by mudslides, his own leg was broken at that time, and he passed out.

"How is Tong Tong? Have you seen him?"

"One second before I passed out, I only saw blood on his head. He must have been hit on the head. Later... I don't know."

Shen Chen also rushed over, and the two of them ran countless times from the hospital to the police station before confirming the specific casualties of the working group: the driver and photographer Xiao Zhao fell into the river and died on the spot, Ruan Fei and the producer were seriously injured and the other was slightly injured, and Tong Hitomi was the most injured, with severe head injuries, and is undergoing surgery.

The two stood guard outside the operating room, both so worried and silent that they couldn't speak.

There is also remorse, Biancheng regrets why he didn't stop Tong Tong forcefully, if he hadn't been driving at night, he wouldn't have encountered mudslides, he wouldn't have... He scolded himself ten thousand times in his heart.

Three hours later, the door of the operating room opened, and Tong Tong was pushed out, but was quickly admitted to the ICU.

The doctor who performed the operation was an expert transferred from the provincial capital urgently. The doctor said that although the operation was completed, it was not out of danger and needed to be observed.

It is also said that various situations may appear after the injured wake up, such as temporary amnesia, unresponsiveness, dizziness and nausea, and many unpredictable situations.

Bian Cheng thought that he was not afraid that Tong Tong would forget himself, but that he would not be able to wake up.

He rented a folding bed and slept in the corridor outside the ICU. On the first day, Tong Tong didn't wake up.

The next day, the attending expert doctor came to him and Shen Chen. Before the operation, due to the urgent situation, there was no time to check carefully. Today, he retrieved the patient's past medical records and suggested to Bian Cheng and Shen Chen that it is a family hereditary disease like chorea. For those who are born, it is best not to do high-intensity work, and not to be overly stimulated mentally, so as not to induce genetic etiology.

Both of them were taken aback, and Bian Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Tong Tong had never mentioned this before, but he seemed to have grasped something.

The doctor told him that once this family genetic disease occurs, it cannot be cured and can only be alleviated by drugs, but the final result is predetermined. As for whether it will occur, it is hard to say, the probability is 50%.

Biancheng only asked one thing, which year was the genetic disease detected in Tongtong's medical records.

The doctor told him the time with certainty.

Biancheng was stunned there, yes, at that time Tongtong said that he was going to go out to sea for a boat trip and go for a medical examination, that's when he knew all about it.

It was him who was like a fool, running business and starting a company all day long, and didn't realize that the people around him were hit by a bolt from the blue.

You must have felt like a burden when you left me, didn't you?Through the glass of the ICU, Bian Cheng asked the unconscious person inside.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. On the third night, Tong Tong opened his eyes. His body was still unable to move. He only rolled his eyes slightly and saw Biancheng who was lying asleep outside the ICU. For a moment, tears trickled down from the corners of his eyes.

The next morning, when Biancheng woke up, he saw a pair of eyes smiling at him in the ICU.

He was stunned for half a second, then ecstatically, he strode to find the doctor.

The doctor came to a conclusion after looking at the various test data in the ICU, and it was considered to be out of the dangerous period.

Tong Tong was transferred to the ordinary VIP ward. He was still in the oxygen tube, his head was wrapped with thick gauze, and the indwelling needle in his hand was infused with fluid that seemed to last forever.

But he said to Biancheng: "I had a long dream. When I woke up, I saw you and thought I was in a dream."

Bian Cheng gently held his hand, rubbing his bony wrist and phalanx: "Did you dream of me?"

Tong Tong nodded lightly: "Yes, I dreamed that you were 80 years old."

Bian Cheng laughed: "Are you too old to walk?"

Tong Tong shook her head: "No, she is still very proud, with white hair, walking with her hands behind her back, and calling my name while turning her head, it looks like a..."

"What?" Bian Cheng asked.

"...Retired veteran cadre." Tong Tong couldn't help chuckling, the movement became a little louder, and he coughed a few times.

While following his heart, Bian Cheng smiled helplessly: "They all narrowly escaped death, so they can't be more obedient."

Then it seemed that I realized it: "You dreamed that I called your name? That is, we are still together at the age of 80, aren't we?"

Tong Tong coughed again and nodded lightly.

Bian Cheng stopped talking, just held his hand and looked at him deeply.

After a few more days, Tong Tong has stabilized a bit, Shen Chen bid farewell to them and returned to the original research team to continue working. Before leaving, Bian Cheng told him that he would take Tong Tong back to Yijiang for a period of recuperation, and that work might have to go to the hospital. There's a row in the back.

Shen Shen nodded again and again, although this accident was not his responsibility, but for some reason, he was also overwhelmed by guilt and great panic in his heart. Some colleagues died because of this, some old friends were seriously injured, and the partners narrowly escaped death. As the boss, he , also full of self-blame for this sudden change.

He told Biancheng to take good care of him, let him rest well, and don't think about anything else.

Ten days later, Tong Tong removed the gauze and sutures from his head, and left a winding, shocking scar from the forehead at the same level as the corner of his right eye to the top of his head.

Bian Cheng didn't dare to look him in the mirror, but Tong Tong said, "It's so good. If it's disfigured, it will save a lot of trouble. As long as you don't think I'm ugly, I'm not ugly."

Bian Cheng said: "It's not ugly, how could it be ugly."

He took the mirror and put it in front of Tongtong. Tongtong looked at himself in the mirror very calmly. During the operation, part of his hair was shaved off. Now the rest is messed up and looks very funny. He couldn't help laughing. Tell Bian Cheng: "Can you cut your hair? I think I shaved it and regrow it."

Bian Cheng said: "Wait, I'll go buy a clipper, and I'll cut it with you."

In the ward of the hospital, Bian Cheng held a clipper and Tong Tong held a mirror, watching Bian Cheng carefully shaved off his hair strand by strand.

He became playful, and Bian Cheng said that he would shave his hair by himself, but Tong Tong refused, so he picked up a clipper and helped Bian Cheng shave it off. The two looked at the person in the mirror, touched each other's head, and laughed together.

Biancheng bought two more hats, and said to Tong Tong, "It's cold in Yijiang right now, we need them after we get off the plane."

"Hmm." Tong Tong picked up the hat and tried it on. It wasn't a cute and funny tiger hat, but a plain dark gray woolen hat. He turned to Biancheng and said, "Let's go home."
