The Pentium Era - South to North

At around three o'clock in the morning, Xiang Nan and Lao Wan Xiaohu also rushed to Yongcheng from Shanghai. Feng Laogui was still in the rescue room and did not come out. As soon as Xiang Nan heard about this situation, he slumped in his chair. On the bed, she burst into tears. Tan Shuzhen quickly hugged her, and her own eyes were red.

At around four o'clock, Feng Laogui was finally pushed out of the operating room and sent to the intensive care unit. Tan Shuzhen and Xiang Nan followed in. Ding Baigou and Zhang Chen hurried to the doctor's office nearby and asked the doctor, The doctor looked at them, then shook his head and said to them:

"This is Mr. Zhang, right? Director Ding, Mr. Zhang, when the anesthesia wears off, it will be a blessing for the patient to wake up. We are all acquaintances, so I don't have to hide them. I just speak plainly. You should prepare for the funeral." Well, it won’t take long.”

Zhang Chen quickly asked: "Is it still too late to send it to Hangzhou and Shanghai now?"

The doctor took off his glasses, took a breath, wiped them with a cloth, and said to them:

"We have done all the surgeries that can be done, but there are blood clots in the patient's skull, and there is nothing anyone can do. Do you understand? The long and bumpy journey will only accelerate death. Whether he can reach Hangzhou alive is a question, let alone In Shanghai, we can still notify the family members as soon as possible and let them say goodbye. As it is, the vital signs may be maintained for a day or two in the ICU."

It couldn't have been said more clearly.

Ding Baigou patted Zhang Chen's shoulder. The two of them walked out of the doctor's office and walked to where everyone was sitting in the hall. The families of the crying driver had already moved to the funeral parlor. Zhang Chen looked at Ding Baigou. Let me tell everyone that you should go back first. Lao Gui's surgery has been completed. What will happen in the end will be discussed after the doctors' consultation during the day.

After everyone heard what Zhang Chen said, they all breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and left. Zhang Chen asked Lao Wan and Xiao Hu to send Lao Tan and Mrs. Tan back, and then go to Huanglong Moon Bay Hotel to stay and get a room for himself. He guessed that I can't go back for a day or two.

Zhang Chen and Ding Baigou said: "I will go to the intensive care unit to guard it. Tan Shuzhen and her daughter alone will definitely not be able to do it."

Ding Baigou nodded and said to Zhang Chen, "If anything happens, call me."

Zhang Chen said yes.

"Let's go, I'll take you there, and I'll also take a look at Lao Gui." Ding Baigou said.

The two people walked over and reached the door of the intensive care unit. The nurse stopped them and refused to let them in. Ding Baigou got angry and shouted: "Call your dean and see if we can go in!"

The doctor in the next office heard the noise and came out. When he saw it was them, he told the nurse, "Let them in."

The nurse pursed her lips, but still let them in.

Feng Laogui was on the hospital bed with a tube inserted and was still in a coma. Tan Shuzhen and Xiang Nan were sitting by the bed. Tan Shuzhen's eyes were red, and Xiang Nan was holding Tan Shuzhen in her arms and sobbing softly.

Zhang Chen and Ding Baigou stared at Feng Laogui on the hospital bed, and they sighed in unison.

Zhang Chen and Ding Baigou said, "You should go back too, leader, I'm here."

Ding Baigou said yes, he walked over, patted Tan Shuzhen and Xiang Nan on the shoulders, and then made a phone call gesture with Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen nodded, and Ding Baigou left.

Zhang Chen sat down on the other side of the hospital bed and looked at Feng Laogui. Feng Laogui's breathing was fairly even.

Zhang Chen, Tan Shuzhen, and Xiang Nan were sitting there. None of them spoke and didn't know what to say.

The entire intensive care unit was quiet, except for the slight sizzling sound of the electrocardiogram, ventilator, and intracranial pressure monitoring equipment that monitored Feng Laogui. Occasionally, you could hear the nurse on duty packing away the equipment. The utensils made one or two crisp knocking sounds when they hit the white enamel plate.

The sky outside gradually began to get brighter, and Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that if Feng Laogui survived the night, there was still hope. Aren't people only leaving at night? Now that the night has passed, dawn is about to come. arrival.

"Dad, Dad!" Xiang Nan shouted, squatting in front of the hospital bed and holding Feng Laogui's hand.

Feng Laogui frowned, opened his eyes, and smiled reluctantly when he saw them.

The nurse came over to take a look and said, "The anesthesia is over. Let the patient have a good rest and don't talk too much."

Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen nodded quickly, but they couldn't hold it back. Zhang Chen shouted: "Laogui, Laogui, how are you?"

Feng Laogui shook his head and called Xiang Nan again. Feng Laogui looked at her and said with difficulty: "Nan Nan... you, why are you here... acting, performing... competing..."

Xiang Nan kept shaking his head and shouting: "Dad, you need to get better!"

Feng Laogui nodded slightly and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes again and stared at Tan Shuzhen for a while, then said in a weak voice: "Zhenzhen..."

Tan Shuzhen took a step closer, bent down, and approached Feng Laogui. Feng Laogui said intermittently: "...talk to Nannan...talk to Zhenzhen...talk to Nannan..."

Tan Shuzhen shook her head. Feng Laogui wanted to say something else, but couldn't and closed his eyes.

The nurse came over again and said to them impatiently, let the patient rest, just leave one of you here.

Tan Shuzhen and Zhang Chen said, "Zhang Chen, you go and have a rest. Nannan and I are here."

Zhang Chen looked at his watch. It was already six o'clock. He looked at Feng Laogui again. His eyes were closed. He didn't know whether he was asleep or unconscious. Fortunately, his breathing was still even.

Zhang Chen expected that the next day would be a difficult day for Feng Laogui. One of him and Tan Shuzhen would always be by his side to hear what else he had to explain.

Zhang Chen agreed, "I'll go to the hotel and take a nap, and I'll come back to replace you around eight o'clock."

Tan Shuzhen shook her head and said, come back at noon. If anything happens, I will call you.

Zhang Chen nodded, walked over, touched Xiang Nan's head, and said to her, "Stay with daddy."

Xiang Nan nodded "hmm".

Zhang Chen left the hospital and drove to Huanglong Moon Bay Hotel. Lao Wan and the others had already booked a room for him, and the key was left at the front desk.

Zhang Chen went upstairs and entered the room. He fell on the bed and fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.

It was already past nine o'clock when Zhang Chen woke up. He quickly took out his cell phone and looked at it. Except for a missed call from Xiaofang, there was no call from Tan Shuzhen. Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that when he fell asleep, he Expensive but not dangerous.

When Zhang Chen called back, Xiaofang said, "I'm already at the office. Brother Tan and the others are on the way. How is Nan Nan's father?"

Zhang Chen sighed: "The doctor told us that we can't survive. It's just a day or two. I was in the hotel. I just woke up, took a shower and went to change Tan Shuzhen. She and Xiangnan are in the hospital."

Xiaofang sighed and said, "Okay, then go quickly."

Zhang Chen hurriedly took a shower and went downstairs to the hospital. By the time he arrived at the hospital, it was already past ten o'clock. During the day, the hospital hall was bustling with people coming and going. Zhang Chen walked towards the intensive care unit and arrived at the door. , seeing Lao Tan and Ding Baigou standing here, Zhang Chen looked inside through the glass and saw that Tan Shuzhen was the only one sitting there.

Zhang Chen asked: "Where is Xiangnan?"

"Going to Shanghai." Ding Baigou was afraid that Zhang Chen thought he was forcing Xiang Nan to go back to Shanghai, so he quickly explained: "After you left, Lao Gui sobered up again. He must go back to Shanghai in the south. Xiang Nan promised him ”

Lao Tan sighed: "Lao Gui is also an actor. How come he doesn't know the importance of the performance? This is going to be ruined. It's not Nan Nan's fault, it's the whole group's fault. What's more, he just won the Wenhua Award. The impact is too great. Big.”

Zhang Chen didn't want to hear what they said, so he asked, "How is Laogui?"

"When he sobers up and becomes confused, I have already asked the driver to go to the countryside to pick up his parents." Ding Baigou said.

"I'll go in and change Tan Shuzhen." Zhang Chen said to Ding Baigou and Lao Tan, both of whom patted him on the back.

…

In the afternoon, Feng Laogui's parents arrived. The two old people were in the ward, almost fainting from crying. Zhang Chen asked Xiangxiang and her husband to take them to a hotel to rest.

Xiao Wu and Lao Yang also rushed over from Hangzhou.

As soon as it got dark outside, Feng Laogui's condition began to deteriorate. At about seven o'clock in the evening, the electroencephalogram was flat, and the doctor declared that Feng Laogui was brain dead. At about eight o'clock, spontaneous breathing stopped and his arteries The pressure dropped sharply, and at around nine o'clock, Feng Laogui's heart also stopped beating.

The doctor pronounced the time of death to be 9:18.

Tan Shuzhen said to Zhang Chen with red eyes: "Nan Nan is still on stage."

Zhang Chen nodded.

Zhang Chen invited Tan Shuzhen out first. He and Xiao Wu helped the nurse clean up and change clothes for Feng Laogui. While Zhang Chen was doing all this, he couldn't help but feel sad. How long has it been? , I will experience such a thing again.

After changing clothes, wearing red shrouds, hats and quilts, and tying them up, Tan Shuzhen supported Feng Laogui's mother, Xiangxiang's husband supported Feng Laogui's father and came in. Other people in the troupe also poured in. Intensive Care Unit There was a lot of crying inside.

Zhang Chen walked out and walked outside to the garden. He looked up at the sky. There were stars in the sky tonight, and the March wind blew on his face, which was warm.

"Laogui, Laogui, go away!" Zhang Chen screamed in his heart, his eyes blurred.

The funeral home's car came and took Feng Laogui to the funeral home. Xiao Wu, Xiangxiang's husband, and seven or eight others crowded into a car and followed the funeral home's car. Zhang Chen and Tan Shuzhen stood there, unaware of them. What to do, I don’t know what I should do next.

Lao Yang came over and said to them: "Let's go."

Zhang Chen asked: "Where to go?"

"Funeral parlor." Lao Yang said.

Zhang Chen was confused and asked, "Can I still go to the funeral parlor at night?"

Lao Yang became even more confused and said, "Don't we all have to go to the funeral parlor?"

After Lao Yang told them, Zhang Chen found out that the funeral parlor here was different from that in Shanghai. The funeral parlor here had a mourning hall. Feng Laogui's body would be placed in the freezer of the mourning hall, and relatives and friends would also need to keep vigil until the cremation. when.

Zhang Chen, Tan Shuzhen, and Lao Yang got into the car and drove toward the funeral home.
