dance like a butterfly

Back to Xi'an, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

In the bustling metropolis, in the deep night that melts into the endless river of cars, I feel that I am such an insignificant particle, so ordinary and ordinary.

The fate of a person is really like a grass mustard, which can flourish in an instant, or be blown away by the wind in an instant.After this accident happened, I couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion when I thought that I could be hugged back to Xi'an and start a new life just because I had Lao Han and Lao Zuo by my side.

The lights outside the window were brilliant, and despite the chill, it was still a lively scene.

People in Xi'an usually call the Fourth Military Medical University of the People's Liberation Army the Fourth Medical University, and the best hospital in Shaanxi Province is Xijing Hospital affiliated to this university.The Burn Department of Xijing Hospital is the largest burn treatment center in Northwest China, and it is at the leading level in the country in terms of burn treatment and scar plastic surgery.

When we arrived at the hospital, Lao Zuo's comrade-in-arms, Lao Geng (later we all started calling him Director Geng) was already waiting.With his assistance, the hospitalization procedures were quickly completed.

For the first two days, I lived in a general ward in a quadruple room.Two days later, a single room was finally vacated in the overcrowded ward, and I was officially transferred in because I didn't have to worry about the cost and because of Director Geng's relationship.

Half a year later, when my scalding accident was no longer a taboo topic in the conversation between me and Lao Han, I gradually understood from Lao Han's words why Lao Han's bullish temper disappeared during my hospitalization. , why he no longer looked at Lao Zuo with cold eyes and bad words.

Lao Zuo tried his best during my hospitalization.In this process, how much time he spent and how much money he spent may already be a secret that he will never talk about.

Without Lao Zuo's calm and meticulous character to deal with it, during my hospitalization and post-treatment, Lao Han couldn't do many things even if he was energetic.This may be the reason that "the ruler is short, but the inch is long".

Lao Geng looks a few years younger than Lao Zuo. He is a fair and thin person who is about the same size as Lao Zuo. He speaks and does things quickly, and is very dedicated.

He is a professor-level chief physician in laparoscopic minimally invasive treatment of Urology Department of Xijing Hospital. In addition to two expert outpatient visits a week, he almost performs more than two operations every day.Even during holidays, there will be cars from other places to pick him up for consultation or surgery.My feeling is that every hour he spends means hundreds of thousands of dollars.However, as an expert physician who is not specialized in scald treatment, based on the frequency of his visits to me, he should have an unusual relationship with Lao Zuo.

As a puppet on a hospital bed, apart from the occasional torment of my wounds, I had enough time to slip into reverie as I did when I was a child.

I have repeatedly imagined in my mind, how can an officer from the field army and a gentle medical college student have such a big difference in temperament and different ages, how could they become such close comrades-in-arms?Could it be that they, like Lao Han and Chen Hanzhang, used to be...?I dare not think about it anymore.

Ashamed to say it, after I had this strange idea, whenever Director Geng came to my ward, I always carefully observed his face, his figure, and compared him in my heart. Are there any similarities?Every time Director Geng left, I would blush involuntarily when I thought of my absurd behavior just now.How can there be so many comrades!

Of course, as I didn't see anything unusual in the tone and eyes of Lao Zuo and Lao Geng when they interacted, as my wounds gradually healed and I had more thoughts to talk to them, I really knew their past. .

When Lao Zuo had been promoted to deputy battalion commander of the field army, Lao Geng went to the grassroots army to experience life after graduating from the Fourth Medical University.

During a military exercise, Lao Geng followed Lao Zuo's troops as a military doctor.

During a rapid march at night, the troops passed a reservoir dam.Since it was an open area, an order was passed down that the troops were required to run through.Lao Geng, who had never experienced such a situation before, slipped in a hurry and rolled into the deep reservoir beside him.

When Lao Zuo was a soldier, he once won No.2 in the armed swimming of the whole regiment, and his water quality was very good.At this time, he happened to pass by the place where Lao Geng fell into the water.He drove away several soldiers who wanted to go into the water to save people, and while unloading the load on his body, under the flashlight of the battalion correspondent, he carefully observed Lao Geng who was struggling desperately in the water and had already drank a lot of water.He told the correspondent to turn off the flashlight immediately, and with a little moonlight, he jumped into the water with his lower limbs entering the water with experience.

He avoided Lao Geng who was kicking and scratching, approached him from behind, wrapped his arms around his chin, and lightly grabbed his neck, telling him to keep calm while swimming sideways to drag him ashore.

After landing, he put Lao Geng on his lap, took out the water he drank, told a squad leader to take care of him, and then hurriedly left the scene wearing a wet military uniform.

Lao Zuo's move not only saved Lao Geng, but also inadvertently added a project to this performance: he demonstrated to the soldiers present how to save people in the water.

At the end of the exercise, Lao Zuo was commended by his superiors.

Afterwards, Lao Geng found Lao Zuo and expressed his thanks in person, and the two became close friends.

Several experts from the Fourth Medical University first affirmed the treatment methods of Nanzhang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Then they used their own medicine, and this topical medicine did not have a pungent smell, and it also exuded a faint herbal fragrance.

The day after I switched back to this drug, I felt a noticeable reduction in pain.With the dressing changes and injections again and again, as Lao Geng and the experts tirelessly inquired and discussed and adjusted the treatment plan, half a month later, even though I was still wrapped in bandages, I was able to get out of bed and stand on my feet. Window to see the scenery outside.

Life in a hospital is a kind of training for human nerves.

Every morning, accompanied by the nurses taking temperature, the in-and-out delivery of oral medicine, the sanitation workers cleaning the wards every day, and then the doctors, under the leadership of the department director, went round the wards one by one.I'm like an animal in a zoo, seeing people coming and going, I don't feel lonely.

However, during the period from waking up from the afternoon nap until I went back to sleep at night, in addition to enduring the unbearable itching when the wound healed, I also had to endure the irritability that rose from time to time in my heart.Especially when I woke up frequently in the middle of the night due to the discomfort of the wound, looking at the dozing escort beside me, staring at the dim light of the small floor lamp left in the ward, and thinking of my second sister-in-law and my sick father, I often think of cry.

In the first week, Lao Han hired a male escort for me to take care of me from the afternoon until the early morning of the next day.From Monday to Friday morning, Lao Han stayed with me in the ward, paid and took medicines according to the doctor’s orders, and also discussed with Lao Zuo over the phone about treatment matters requiring family members’ opinions based on my injury. .

In the afternoon, Lao Han explained the precautions to the nurse and rushed back to the village to handle village affairs.

Lao Zuo often bought all kinds of delicious meals according to my taste after get off work at night, saying that it would increase my nutrition and promote wound healing.Moreover, Lao Zuo always called Lao Han impatiently, not to give me fish, nor mutton and other hot food, so as not to affect my healing effect.

For two days on the weekend, Lao Zuo stayed by my side almost all day, doing almost all the things I could do

In order to keep me from being too lonely and to divert my attention from the wound, Lao Zuo specially bought me a radio, a portable CD player and a bunch of music CDs that I like to listen to, of course, including my favorite Qin opera drama plate.He told me that if the wound was really itchy and uncomfortable, he would close the door and sing along to the CD.

During the hospitalization, I had more time to think about things, and I also had more energy to observe everyone around me.

I often think that Lao Zuo has taken a fancy to me, and his misfortune is far greater than mine.

Such a man with military temperament, good temper, and attentive service is such a good husband and father!No wonder Tian Zhenzhen would rather let him associate with me than ruin this marriage.

In the beginning, I always thought that Tian Zhenzhen was a psychopath, but now I have a new understanding of the old-fashioned saying "one day husband and wife Bai Rien".

It seems that Tian Zhenzhen's reluctance to divorce Lao Zuo is not entirely out of face.She has been trying to relive old dreams.

However, when I think of Tian Zhenzhen, I feel very uncomfortable.I can never forget her arrogance and insult to me when she left my ward in Nanzhang.

A week later, with the improvement of my wound feeling, the treatment measures became more regular. I insisted not to let Lao Han spend time with me every day, forcing him to go back to work.

Helpless, he had no choice but to let the escort stay in the ward all day during the day, and he came to accompany me at night.

Most of the time, Lao Han stayed by my hospital bed and talked and chatted with me.

I could tell he was desperate for even a brief moment of physical contact with me.He often touched my forehead and my naked body for the convenience of treatment. That kind of emotional touch often made me feel impulsive.

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and see him lying on the empty bed next to him, I will sneak out of bed and lie beside him to look at him.Hearing his steady snoring, I wanted to touch his tired face that I couldn't get enough of, and I wanted to kiss him lightly.

Whenever this happens, I always think, when can I go back to our big bed, let me press on him firmly, without any distance, and let him feel my feelings for him!

However, he was too tired, really too tired.I said to myself, this person is my lover, this person who likes me so much will spend the rest of my life with me, let him sleep for a while.

Sometimes Lao Zuo came to see me after get off work.Seeing Lao Han's unshaven beard, he smiled and said, "Go out and tidy yourself up, and I'll replace you." Lao Han looked at me and saw that I was silent, so he obediently went out to take a shower and get a haircut.

I found that Lao Zuo's mood gradually improved.Once he asked me excitedly: "Xiaohui, have you noticed that Lao Han treats me much better now, even better than you treat me."

I am silent.Seeing that I was silent, Lao Zuo said, "Do you want to know, how did I know about your accident in Nanzhang? Do you know that I bring you another good news today?"
