One month will pass quickly.

Chi Yu went to work as usual every day, and on Saturday, he took Xi Boyi to the new villa to see the decoration, and invited Cheng Jia, Mu Ke, and Limao out to have a big meal by the way.

Stay home and practice on Sunday.

As for the horror house owner who was still living in the hospital, I don't know if he was stopped by Xi Boyi halfway, or was settled by the Yaoshen Bureau, but he never made a fuss in front of Chi Yu.

During the period, Chi Yu asked Xi Boyi about the owner of the horror house, but the man just said don't worry about it.

In ward 4009 of the hospital, the shop owner leaned on the bed and directed his wife to peel an orange for him to eat.

In the past month, he has been lying in bed every day, eating and sleeping, and playing with his mobile phone when he wakes up. Life is not to mention more nourishing, and he has obviously gained a lot of weight.

At this moment, he was watching the video with his mobile phone, and when he saw the mention of high blood pressure in the video, he suddenly thought: "Daughter-in-law, are you running out of blood pressure medicine?"

The middle-aged woman was a little confused by the question, subconsciously said: "Yes, what's the matter?"

The shop owner said: "After a while, you can ask the doctor which antihypertensive drug is the best. Take your medical card and go downstairs to buy thirty or fifty bottles for your own use."

The middle-aged woman was shocked: "Three... thirty or fifty bottles, why buy so many?"

"Tsk."

The shop owner gave her a look of resentment, glanced at the two hospital beds next to her, and said in a low voice, "What else can antihypertensive medicine do? Take it."

Middle-aged woman: "Fifty bottles, this will last until the Year of the Monkey!"

The shop owner suppressed his voice: "If you can't finish eating, you can sell it to other relatives and friends. Now that you are older, no one has any problems with high blood pressure."

The middle-aged woman still hesitated: "But... if you buy so much at once, the hospital won't sell it, right?"

The shop owner said with disgust: "Hey, you can't turn a corner with your brain, buy less at a time, buy five bottles or ten bottles, and go again after a while. The doctor treats thousands of patients every day. Who remembers you? who."

The middle-aged woman thought about it and found it reasonable: "Then I'll ask now."

The store owner stopped her: "Wear a mask when buying medicine."

The middle-aged woman nodded in response.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged woman walked in with a bag full of joy.

The shop owner couldn't help being happy when he saw it, "You bought it back?"

The middle-aged woman nodded: "Well, I bought fifty bottles."

The shop owner was surprised: "So many!"

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I told them that it was taken for the old sisters in the same community, and the doctor gave me a few more instructions before prescribing it for me."

"And I bought not only antihypertensive drugs, but also hypoglycemic drugs. My mother has diabetes, as well as the calcium tablets that our grandson usually takes, and the vitamins that our son and daughter-in-law take. I bought them all!"

She said, and handed the prescription list to the store owner.

The middle-aged man was very happy after watching it, he gave her a thumbs up, and praised: "You did a good job."

"Then in the afternoon, you can take these medicines home, and take a good sleep when you go back."

The middle-aged woman said worriedly: "You can do it here by yourself."

The shop owner waved his hand indifferently: "Oh, okay, didn't the doctor say that I have a cracked hip bone. Apart from needing to rest in bed, there is nothing serious about it."

If it wasn't for compensation, he would have gone home long ago.

The middle-aged woman also knew that there was nothing wrong with him, so she said worriedly: "Old man, I don't know why, my heart is always fluttering, you said it's been a month, and the person who did it has been doing nothing except the first day. never showed up..."

The shop owner interrupted her: "Don't worry, he doesn't show up, as long as the money is in place."

"Didn't he recharge 5 yuan into the medical card last time, and now he is hospitalized without us paying, why are you flustered?"

The middle-aged woman said: "I'm afraid

refused to pay. "

The middle-aged man hesitated for half a second: "Probably not, I think that person is very happy to give money."

Half a month ago, he called, but the other party just hummed and hung up the phone, and charged 5 yuan to the medical card that day.

Middle-aged woman: "But don't you think he gave the money too quickly?"

The shop owner thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I'm worried that my exposure on the Internet will make him lose his job."

After all, not everyone can do the work of the police.

Middle-aged woman: "Anyway, I just feel uneasy."

The shop owner said indifferently: "Never mind him, sooner or later they will have to give an explanation and make compensation for this matter. Think about it, our son's down payment for buying a house is still more than 20 yuan short, and they don't care about the 30 to [-] yuan. After taking it out, it shouldn’t be difficult to get another [-] or [-] yuan, and when the down payment is made, maybe tens of thousands of yuan can be left for the two of us to take care of for the elderly.”

The middle-aged woman heard the words, thought about the more than 4 yuan in the medical card, and said nothing more.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

The middle-aged man was lying on the hospital bed, his face was pale, his left abdomen was covered with one hand, and his brows were tightly frowned.

After a while, a middle-aged woman walked in with a few checklists, her face a little more anxious.

Seeing her coming in, the shop owner forced himself to sit up and asked, "How is it? Did you find any problems?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "The doctor said that apart from the hip bones, no other problems were found."

The shop owner: "Hiss, that's strange, why does my stomach hurt so much when I'm fine?"

The middle-aged woman also felt strange: "Yeah, why is it so good that my stomach hurts? We just had a physical examination before, and the doctor said there was nothing serious."

On the day the shop owner was sent to the hospital, he had a full-body examination. Except for a fractured hip bone and chronic diseases that already existed in his body, basically no major problems were found.

But today my stomach hurts so badly.

Just now he did another abdominal examination, but still found nothing wrong.

The middle-aged woman said: "Is it because you have eaten too much greasy food for the past two days, and you have a stomach problem?"

"It's possible." The shop owner said, "Then go downstairs and buy some stomach medicine."

The middle-aged woman responded, and immediately ran downstairs to get the medicine.

In the afternoon, the shop owner’s abdominal pain did not subside, so he asked the woman to borrow a wheelchair, and pushed himself to the gastroenterology department to see a doctor. The doctor listened with a stethoscope, and also watched the abdominal examination they performed, saying that there was no major problem with the stomach. After tossing for a long time, I didn't find out the cause of the stomachache.

Later, there was no way but to drink painkillers to relieve it.

That night, the store owner had a nightmare.

In the dream, he was sleeping curled up on his side on the hospital bed, when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a doctor in a white coat came in.

"Check bed, Zhang Youlai, how are you feeling today?"

Zhang Youlai is the name of the shop owner.

But at this time, he didn't dare to respond because he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

Obviously the doctor was standing at the end of his hospital bed, but the shop owner just couldn't see his face clearly.

"My old man has a terrible stomachache today."

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, which startled Zhang Youlai. Looking back, he saw his wife sitting beside the hospital bed.

"..."

Shouldn't she be sleeping in the corridor right now?

No, this is a dream.

It must be that his stomach hurts too much, which caused him to dream that the doctor came to see him at night.

Sure enough, the doctor who couldn't see the face clearly heard the words and hung the stethoscope on his ear: "Yes, let me listen."

Zhang Youlai wanted to refuse, but before the word 'no' came out, the doctor had already walked to the bedside, and pressed the stethoscope directly on the abdomen through the clothes.

"Where do you feel pain?"

It may be that the doctor's questioning voice was too gentle, which made the store owner's vigilance less relaxed.

He pointed the approximate area of ​​abdominal pain with his fingers, and didn't dare to speak.

The doctor didn't mind either. He listened carefully to the part he circled, and gave the diagnosis after half a minute: "Colon cancer."

"what!"

Now the shop owner couldn't care less about talking less in his dream, so he exclaimed.

The middle-aged woman next to her also denied it: "Impossible, we just had a full-body examination a month ago, and there is nothing wrong with our body. We also had an abdominal CT scan today, and there is nothing wrong with it."

The doctor said calmly, "There is no problem now, but there will be problems soon."

The store owner's face was pale: "What do you mean by that?"

The doctor explained: "Literally."

"Aren't you suffering from abdominal pain? This is a manifestation of colon cancer in the middle stage. After another week, the pain will intensify and will be accompanied by blood in the stool. In the middle and late stages, you may need to take painkillers every day for relief."

Shop owner: "No, what do you mean when you said that there will be problems soon?"

The doctor said: "Didn't you already use the 5 yuan?"

"That's the money to buy your life. The abdominal pain is just a wake-up call. When you spend half of the money, you will be diagnosed with colon cancer. When the money is gone, you will be gone."

"Impossible!" The store owner retorted loudly: "That's the medical expenses they should pay me!"

Doctor: "But you know in your heart that your injury doesn't cost that much. In fact, it can be treated for two or three thousand dollars. The main reason is that you need to rest for a month or two."

"Now that a month has passed, your bones have basically healed, but you have been refusing to leave the hospital because you are waiting for the other party to come and ask for compensation."

"To tell you the truth, the other party will not take the initiative to reconcile with you. If you want to live, you can live forever. Anyway, 5 yuan won't last long. According to your current spending method..."

The doctor snapped his fingers and calculated randomly: "It's only a month at most."

"One month is enough for you to explain your funeral slowly."

"No...impossible!"

The shop owner couldn't believe it, and kept repeating the word "impossible", but apart from this, he couldn't say anything else to refute.

The doctor said indifferently: "Anything is impossible, any disease can be found in the hospital."

"You live in the hospital, and you check this item or that item all day long. You just want to find out something. Don't worry, you will be able to find cancer soon."

The shop owner blushed from holding back, so he gave a hammer at ease.

He took the opportunity to check his body just to reassure himself of his health. If cancer is found, how can he be at ease!

The doctor continued: "I always want to take advantage of it, but there are so many advantages in the world. You killed four red fox cubs to save money, and you have a debt that you have to pay back."

The store owner immediately retorted: "I didn't!"

"The death of the red fox cub has nothing to do with me, I didn't want to harm them."

Doctor: "You don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you, don't you understand?"

"Okay, the outpatient visit is over, I'm leaving."

The shop owner: "No, tell me clearly, what do you mean this [-] is my life money, if anyone wants to kill me, don't go!"

He was answered by a gentle slam of the door.

"Boom."

"Ah—" Zhang Youlai, who was sleeping, woke up instantly.

Because the sound was too loud, it also woke up the patients in the two beds next door.

The other party asked confusedly, "What's wrong with you?"

The shop owner panted heavily, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I had a nightmare."

The other party said oh, closed his eyes and continued to rest.

The shop owner was completely sleepless. He looked at the dark surroundings, recalled the scene in his dream just now, and couldn't help but clutch his left abdomen in fear.

.

Colon cancer, life money, bad debts, confession...

The doctor's words are all clearly remembered, and they keep circling in his mind.

False, must be false, this is just a dream.

It must be because my stomach hurts too much during the day and I am thinking wildly, so I have this outrageous nightmare at night.

The shop owner kept comforting himself, and kept saying that dreams are reversed, dreams are reversed, but he couldn't help trembling all over his body.

At dawn on the second day, a middle-aged woman came in fetching water to help him wash, only to see him staring straight at the ceiling with his eyes open, with a pale face, and asked with concern: "Old Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Youlai's voice was hoarse: "I had a nightmare last night."

The middle-aged woman wondered: "What nightmare?"

Zhang Youlai told the middle-aged woman the content of the dream in a low voice, and the middle-aged woman turned pale after listening.

"This is how to do?"

Zhang Youlai shook his head: "I don't know either."

"By the way, how much money is left in the medical card?"

The middle-aged woman said: "More than 8000."

Zhang Youlai calculated it secretly, and found that when he asked his wife to buy medicine three days ago, he used the 5 yuan in it.

He thought for a while and said, "Don't panic, maybe I think too much during the day, so I have nightmares at night."

At this moment, the people in the two beds next door were awake, so the two of them didn't say anything more.

That Thursday, when Xi Boyi was eating with Chi Yu, the phone on the table vibrated, indicating that a call had come in.

The man glanced at the phone number and picked it up.

A middle-aged man's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Xi, we want to talk to you about reconciliation."
