Chapter 3
Hey! Cheng Boyan irritably slapped the steering wheel; this thing is just like a song on repeat in the mind, once it starts, it cannot be stopped, and his head is filled with a mess of thoughts.
Eat, eat, eat; drink, drink, drink
I should be able to arrive in about half an hour. Cheng Boyan smiled, glanced ahead, and noticed that it did not seem like a normal traffic jam; there was a crowd of people pushing together.
The duration of work in the profession of staging accidents is uncertain. A simple fibula fracture is not difficult to recover from, but if one continues to hop and jump around on the street while holding up a leg and colliding with vehicles, over time, the bone may become severely displaced, which could lead to complications.
Cheng Boyan left the house after finishing breakfast, which consisted of a pot of mixed bean porridge made from various beans and coix seeds. The nutrition was excellent, but the taste... The flavor produced by his culinary skills was indeed somewhat lingering.
"Have you gotten up?" Mother asked
Cheng Boyan was momentarily taken aback when he saw the patient entering through the door; the person smiled at him and said, "Doctor, you look familiar. Have we met before?"
The message on the phone is about a class reunion, a small circle from high school, consisting of seven or eight people, held once a year, and always on time every year
"It's too noisy..." Mother sighed and then raised her voice, "Did I not ask you to buy a soy milk maker? It's been a month since I mentioned it, and you still haven't bought it? Nutrition needs to be balanced and comprehensive; breakfast is so important..."
Cheng Boyan was taken aback, as yet another person, both surprised and frightened, was entangled to the point of desperation, ultimately resorting to paying money for peace.
"It must be bone cancer," the young girl raised her head, shook her phone, and said, "I checked, it looks very similar."
After following the director on rounds, reporting, writing medical records, and having conversations with several patients, it was basically noon. Cheng Boyan felt a slight swelling in his calves and sat on a chair to elevate his legs and move them a bit
Xiang Xi was startled and before he could even scream, his injured leg was embraced by someone.
"You see, the protrusions in your lumbar discs at levels 3, 4, and 5 are significant. The pain in your leg is likely due to nerve compression..." Cheng Boyan was explaining to the elderly man.
Expand the grand blueprint. Consultation Room 4
What? The steamed bun turned its head and said, "Are you sick!"
With the cars behind urging her on, Cheng Boyan had not yet reached the side when she grabbed a handful of money from her bag and threw it in front of those people, shouting: "Take it! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Bored
This is the content written by the attending physician of the young girl in the ward round record
"Why do you still want to have surgery?" Cheng Boyan laughed
Is it really a case of staged accidents
Sometimes, a person merely exists
"There is no indication for surgery in your case..." Cheng Boyan shook his head, "You need to go to our physiotherapy department for treatment"
"Internet café," Xiangxi said
Xiang Xi spat on the ground; he was not afraid of Erpan. When he was picked up by Ping Shu, Erpan was still somewhere out there, engaging in all sorts of deceitful activities.
"It cannot be connected even if we went yesterday." Xiang Xi opened the door
When Mantou was about to come over to help after throwing the car, Xiang Xi slapped him across the face, causing him to let go and fall into the snow.
Xiang Xi was very diligent in washing his hands while grooming himself
"What should we do about this? How should it be treated?" The uncle asked with a furrowed brow, "Does it require surgery?"
He does not enjoy mingling in crowds, nor does he like to meddle in others' affairs. However, just as he was about to turn back to the car, a rather striking face caught his attention.
As for whether it was due to cold, poisoning, or... being slapped to death by oneself, it remains unknown, and no one cares. This topic will be discussed at most until noon, after which no one will bring it up again
Still expanding the grand blueprint, let us greatly showcase the art of opportunistic deception!
There was a car blocking the way ahead. While he was waiting, he took out his phone and dialed his grandmother's number: "Grandma, have you eaten?"
The cars that were blocked began to cluster together, and some people, unaware of what had happened ahead, pressed their horns.
Cheng Boyan hesitated for two seconds before walking over there
"He has already come and gone to buy me a magazine," the young girl said with a smile, then lowered her eyelids, "Doctor Cheng."
This is precisely the point, Cheng Boyan said while writing in the medical record, "When you undergo physical therapy, you should inform them that the doctor has stated you should be transported by car, not to engage in any work, and that you must be well taken care of with good food and drink."
Xiang Xi did not see Cheng Boyan outside the crowd. After taking the money, they needed to leave quickly to prevent the victim from realizing and calling the police
"I won't be working today, okay?" Cheng Boyan found it difficult to describe his feelings
In a world so vast, with so many people, amidst the myriad ways of living that many cannot even imagine, what has happened to a certain detestable individual? Who would care
After hanging up the phone, he got out of the car and took two steps forward to see what was going on
Understood, Cheng Boyan interrupted his mother, it is quite difficult to describe the feeling of having a nutritionist at home, I will go over to pick it up after work today, you don't need to run around
The announcement on the bus sorrowfully informed him that the road home was blocked for nearly 1 kilometer
While passing by the restroom, I encountered Dr. Li from the radiology department. After greeting him, he called out to me: "Xiao Cheng, didn't you mention that a patient with a fracture was coming for an X-ray yesterday? Why didn't they come?"
Osteosarcoma, this is the name that first introduced Cheng Boyan to malignant tumors in his life, and it is also the most deeply etched in his memory
All the way, he listened to the broadcast, pondering what he should eat in the evening
The patient is primarily suspected to have osteosarcoma at the lower end of the left femur. Comprehensive preoperative examinations and preparations are to be completed, and a scheduled open biopsy of the tumor at the lower segment of the left femur will be performed to confirm the diagnosis
Fat fat fat
Hmm? Cheng Boyan was taken aback, "Not here? The injury is quite serious, I estimate I will need to be hospitalized."
I have not yet purchased a soy milk maker, " Cheng Boyan spat out the toothpaste foam, " this is the parrot of the building.
"Where to?" Mantou drove the car out, "Shall we go to the hospital? Didn't Uncle Ping say for you to go to the hospital today?"
"You are afraid that I will see how messy your life is, aren't you?" Mother smiled.
Let me take a look. Cheng Boyan picked up a small lumbar pillow from the side and placed it behind the uncle's back
Since the introduction of the One Two Three Four Splash, Cheng Boyan's alarm clock has been retired
"You seem to have quite the experience with this," Cheng Boyan glanced at his frostbitten fingers, "Pull up your pant legs, let me take a look"
Expand the grand blueprint
He recalled that gaze of ambition, both confused and innocent, and the voice that conveyed a sense of obedience saying "Brother". Quite impressive acting!
Cheng Boyan turned his head and saw a little girl in the hospital room greeting him. The girl is 17 years old and has been admitted for a week.
I just sneezed while carrying a basin of water yesterday, and with a sudden movement, I felt an unbearable pain; my leg hurt, and I couldn't move at all. The uncle repeated his condition once again.
"Open the window for ventilation, it has been closed all night," his mother advised him, "Today the air quality index is excellent"
"Damn it!" Xiang Xi cursed.
"Please do not be so forceful in your actions; you must maintain your composure and take it slow," Cheng Boyan said
After spending the night at the internet café, Xi Zhang stood up and bounced to leave, feeling discomfort in his legs, unable to enjoy the game fully
Brother, don't say that, I don't want to either... My father is ill," Zhang Hongtu lowered his eyelids and sighed softly, slowly rolling up his pant legs, "I can't just watch him die.
He contemplated for a while, took a different route, and made a detour towards his grandmother's house, avoiding the heavy traffic.
As I put on my coat, Uncle Ping held the teapot and asked, "Where are you going?"
Before slamming the door and leaving, he heard Erpan enter the room and loudly say to Uncle Ping: "What is the point of keeping such a prickly thing! It will cause trouble sooner or later!"
"No surgery?" The uncle seemed somewhat disappointed
Enhancing immunity, you are busy with work all day, your life lacks regularity, going to bed late and getting up early, it is beneficial for your health to eat a little of this every day
The next morning when Xiang Xi woke up, he heard someone chatting outside the window, that person was truly dead
"How many people have you seen, counting the dead, on that street in the big depression..." Xiangxi said, "They all live worse than dogs, yet they still manage to get by."
Cheng Boyan felt a pang in his heart, bent down to take her phone and placed it on the bedside table, smiling as he said: "If you can figure it out yourself, what do you need a doctor for? Just rest well. Director Liang will come to talk to you today; he is very experienced, so don't worry"
"Stop it," Xiang Xi frowned, "Do you think he usually lives like that?"
The two individuals braved the old northern wind in the dead of night and returned to Dawa. At the street corner, there was a large pit that required them to get out of the car and walk over. This pit had been there for two or three years, and no one had taken care of it. Every time Xiangxi passed by, he had to examine it, noting how much wider and deeper it had become, witnessing the growth of this pit.
Mohican hairstyle, with a band-aid under the corner of the eye
The driver is a woman in her twenties, looking anxious and restless as she is surrounded in the middle.
Feeling quite depressed, however, when changing clothes to check the rooms, Cheng Boyan couldn't help but ponder over this matter, specifically regarding the injury of Zhan Hongtu.
Therefore, there is nothing much to be concerned about for oneself
Did you hit someone
I will go buy it right after work today," Cheng Boyan quickly said, "I guarantee I will buy it right after work.
"Um, brushing my teeth," Cheng Boyan said, with a mouthful of toothpaste.
"Doctor," an older man entered, supporting his waist as he sat down, placing an X-ray and medical record on his desk. "I have been here before; could you take a look at this X-ray?"
In fact, Cheng Boyan believes that his current situation is quite rare among single men
Erpan stood outside the door, about to enter, when he saw him sneer coldly: "If you can't connect, then you can't connect; just keep my steamed bun brother company."
After casually resting for twenty minutes at noon, he became busy again and did not have a moment to spare until just before getting off work, when Cheng Boyan finally took the time to check the text messages he received two hours earlier
The hospital was crowded, and Xi did not expect there to be so many people in the orthopedics department. Sitting on the bench, he had dozed off twice while watching the silent television, only to finally hear his name being called.
Still ... ? ... Probably influenced by the previous ambitious plans, Cheng Boyan's first reaction was, did I hit someone? Is it a staged accident?
"It still hurts," the young girl frowned, pointing to her thigh, "It's near the knee, is it bone cancer?"
Xiang Xi glanced at him and curled the corner of his mouth: "This is all the ability you have."
Hmm? Cheng Boyan glanced at a Totoro placed on her bedside.
After the uncle left, Cheng Boyan glanced at the time, stood up and stretched a bit, then looked outside the consultation room; there were no patients left.
Good morning," he smiled and walked in. "How are you feeling today?"
Mantou opened its mouth, filled it with air, and said nothing more
"Lying here tonight, I might freeze to death," said Mantou
After the person revealed their face from the darkness, Xiang Xi finally recognized that this was the tenant from the neighboring house, who had been living here for nearly a year, indulging in drinking, gambling, and drugs. Recently, due to deteriorating health, they no longer had the strength to engage in drinking, gambling, or other vices, yet they still persistently clung to their habit of smoking.
"They all have to surround me and serve me," the uncle clicked his tongue, "I just want to enjoy it a little."
The window here is parallel to the bedroom window; as soon as it is opened, the sounds of one, two, three, and four suddenly become louder
Cheng Boyan suddenly felt a bit gloomy; nowadays, those who engage in staged accidents are increasingly dedicated. They get injured and quickly hit the streets to find their victims. Before coming to the hospital, they must have extorted a few people, and in the end, they can manage to pass by the hospital without entering it, no, ... passing by the hospital without receiving treatment
The little girl nodded with a smile and did not speak further
Off work
Beef noodles? Char siu rice? Mixed bean porridge? ... No, I just had mixed bean porridge this morning ... ? ... Single serving spicy hot pot? Sour and spicy noodles? Mixed bean porridge ... ? Why is there mixed bean porridge again, it's so unappetizing. ... ... Fried sauce noodles? Stewed pancakes? ... Mixed beans ... ? ... Porridge? Mixed bean porridge? Mixed bean porridge? Mixed bean porridge ... ? Mixed ... ...
While brushing his teeth, Cheng Boyan received a call from his mother and answered it on speakerphone
He rested his arm on Mantou's shoulder and jumped into the nearby alley. Mantou pushed an electric cart out from the alley entrance, and he sat down and patted Mantou, saying, "Drive."
Unlike the calm and obedient demeanor displayed that day in the hospital, the current expression of Zhan Hongtu is one of impatience, revealing a hint of menace. Coupled with a few accomplices nearby, he appears rather formidable.
Do you make soy milk? Mother was taken aback, This soy milk machine doesn't seem to be of good quality, why is it making such a noise, be careful it might explode
I swear! He shouted, trying to pull his leg out, but the person held on tightly. His leg hurt so much that he couldn't muster any strength. Have you taken the wrong medicine!
Xiao Zhan, the steamed bun no longer insisted on going to the hospital, shrank his neck and headed towards the internet café. "You are the best example of living day by day that I have ever seen, and yet you still refuse to live well.
"Indeed, they did not come. The three who came later did not have fractures," said Dr. Li
He changed his clothes, poured a large cup of cold water, and walked out of the consultation room
The only reason Uncle Ping would remain silent is that Erpan has expressed his thoughts
Today, as usual, he took a look around; there was not much change. Just as he was about to walk in, a shadow suddenly moved by the wall.
He stopped in his tracks, returned to the side of the car, and opened the door. If he knew this girl, he might have given her a lesson on the various adverse consequences of staged accidents and the indulgence of such behavior
If you are busy, I will just buy one and take it over. Yesterday, your aunt brought some fresh Dendrobium officinale, so I will take a piece over to you.
I am a bit tired today and really do not want to go back to do it
This will have to wait until tomorrow's biopsy for a final determination," Cheng Boyan looked at her, "Get some good rest, what time is your mother coming over?
Thanks to his mother's various compulsions, his room is clean and tidy, free from dust. Upon entering, one must use disinfectant to wipe their hands, and clothes worn outside are kept in a separate cabinet. He only orders takeout in case of absolute necessity, and generally eats the terrifying dishes prepared with his own culinary skills, which rival those of a poisoner, according to his mother's various nutritious recipes.
Oh. Cheng Boyan looked outside; the sky was somewhat overcast, and it was still snowing, quite cold, yet he still followed his mother's instructions and opened the window
"That's it! That's what I'm saying!" The uncle exclaimed, slapping his thigh.
A red car is parked in the right lane, and just a little further ahead is the crosswalk, where a group of people is standing on the crosswalk shouting
Cheng Boyan is in the inpatient department this morning and will be seeing patients in the outpatient clinic this afternoon, with a rather tight schedule
During mealtime, he still eats quite a lot. He feels that the most enjoyable meals he has every day are from the hospital cafeteria, which, compared to what he prepares himself, is simply a feast
"Have you eaten?" Grandma shouted loudly, "Are you off work? Did you not have anywhere to eat? Come over, and Grandma will make something for you!"
What do I need that for?" Cheng Boyan sighed
Set aside time this weekend for the summons
In the morning, he opened his eyes to the heart-wrenching calls of the crows. He stretched lazily, got out of bed, walked to the window, drew the curtains, and made a finger gun gesture, firing four shots towards the opposite balcony with a "bang, bang, bang, bang" before turning around to wash up
Your words imply, "Zhan Hongtu sat down heavily on the chair, his voice somewhat low, 'Who would be willing to lie down in the street on such a cold day.'
Good morning, Dr. Cheng," someone called out to him from the side
He quickly wanted to reply, but in a daze, he clicked delete. When he thought of sending another message, the next patient walked into the consultation room
As soon as he stepped out of the hospital, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Cheng Boyan adjusted his scarf and jogged into the parking lot
In any case, this period has begun to involve early scheduling, and from now on, it will mainly consist of various gatherings with relatives, friends, and classmates. Those from out of town will be returning, while locals will be heading back to their hometowns
"I have always been unwell; it is not as if this ailment has suddenly occurred today," Xiang Xi pressed the adhesive bandage at the corner of his eye and said, "Let's go"
Did you not go yesterday? Uncle Gu stared at him, saying, "If the bones cannot connect, others will say that I no longer care for you."
However, Xiang Xi does not care; he has seen too many comings and goings.
He stood up and entered the fourth consultation room
What slightly concerned him was Uncle Ping's silence after the second game.
"Hospital," Xiangxi said
Every time he sees these three characters, he feels a pang of discomfort in his heart
