Chapter 4 The Truth
Cao Bo leaned back and slept for a while, and suddenly felt that someone was stabbing him. Cao Bo opened his eyes and saw Liu Nan standing beside him at this time.
"Excuse me." Liu Nan obviously apologized for waking up Cao Bo. He told Cao Bo that when Wang Yaoxiang went back after the operation just now, he specially asked Liu Nan to come and find Cao Bo, saying that there was something important.
Although Cao Bo did not know why the other party wanted to find him so early, Cao Bo could hear that Wang Yaoxiang had an operation all night. For a profession like a chief surgeon, staying up late is undoubtedly a kind of torture for both health and mental health.
Cao Bo followed Liu Nan to Wang Yaoxiang's office. When he saw the man, Cao Bo felt that although the other party was only in his thirties, he became extremely haggard at this moment.
His hair was a little hairy, his eyes had turned red at this moment, and even his eyes were soaked out. A blue beard was exposed on his chin, and he walked in to see a few white hairs on his temples.
Wang Yaoxiang waved his hand to Liu Nan, indicating that he could go out to rest, and Liu Nan was obviously busy all night. He just nodded and yawned and left.
"sit down." Wang Yaoxiang asked Cao Bo to sit on the hospitality sofa, and he held a medical record in his hand. Cao Bo guessed that it should have been sent to him by Director Liu, and the name on the printed medical record was probably the name of the old man Wang Hongguang.
"Does he run a bar?" Wang Yaoxiang suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly, the name of the bar should be 'Love Sea', right?"
Cao Bo was a little surprised, because he didn't know why Wang Yaoxiang knew about this. No one should pay attention to that bar at ordinary times.
"He said that his son went abroad? Can't you come back now?" Wang Yaoxiang paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "What about the old man Wang's wife? Did you come with me this time?
Cao Bo shook his head and told Wang Yaoxiang that the old man's wife had passed away three years ago, and now he is just a person guarding the bar. Moreover, Cao Bo also said that no matter how he persuaded him just now, the old man did not agree to the operation.
"I don't know what's going on. I'm so seriously ill, but I don't tell my son, and I have to keep the bar for him..." Cao Bo muttered incomprehensiblely, but Wang Yaoxiang sighed deeply.
"What if I tell you that his son will never come back?" Wang Yaoxiang's words stunned Cao Bo. He didn't understand why the other party asked.
"You should know the earthquake in western China three years ago..." Wang Yaoxiang's eyes seemed to have followed his memory back to three years ago.
The earthquake three years ago shocked the whole country and even the whole world. Its destructive power and spread range are rare in recent decades.
After the earthquake, nationwide fundraising began, and tens of thousands of volunteers also came to the west through various channels, hoping to do something for the people in the disaster area.
"At that time, there were more than a dozen people in the same car with me. Our goal was a small county in the local mountainous area." Wang Yaoxiang naturally participated in the rescue team as a first-aid medical staff, and the people in the same car came from all walks of life, but most of them could play some roles here.
"The atmosphere in the car was actually quite depressing along the way. Because of the environment at that time, we saw the destroyed houses and those who had been killed along the way, and everyone's heart was uncomfortable." Wang Yaoxiang said frankly: "And there are aftershocks there from time to time. Except for the casualties, no one is worried about their own safety."
What Wang Yaoxiang said is indeed the truth. Even if these people go there with blood, no one wants to go back.
"But there is a very different one in the car, because he keeps talking to everyone and tells two jokes from time to time." Wang Yaoxiang said that in the environment at that time, no one was in the mood to joke, and everyone was in a bad state. Some people even quarreled with that guy because of this matter, saying that he should not go there with such a relaxed and happy attitude.
Although the man was blamed by everyone, he still did not shut up obediently. On the contrary, he still chatted with the people around him. Although no one was willing to talk to him, this guy seemed to be singing a monologue, constantly talking, and sometimes he could sing two sentences.
Wang Yaoxiang paused again, as if the song was still echoing in his ear at this time.
"It's really unpleasant..." Wang Yaoxiang smiled. He said that the people in the car also laughed at that time. People in the car are talking about that person. Since the song is so unpleasant, don't come out, but that guy still has to continue to cry and howle.
"In fact, people should really laugh when they are depressed, which will relax the pressure in their hearts." At that time, Wang Yaoxiang didn't know why he was slowly attracted by the person who liked gag. He believed that other people also had this feeling, that is, when facing disaster, it was useless to cry and be full of sadness in his heart.
So the atmosphere in the car gradually became harmonious, and the previously silent car gradually became lively.
"Some people's ability is really innate. He can change the atmosphere around him with his own strength." Wang Yaoxiang's admiration for that person was beyond words, and he began to pay attention to that person at that time.
When these people came to the small county with the troops, they found that the damage to the area was also very serious. Even after the visible range, there was no complete and undamaged house.
The rescue work was carried out in a rapid and orderly manner. Although the people in the car were not as well-trained as soldiers and they were not qualified for too heavy work, these people selflessly contributed their every bit of strength at this time.
Set up tents, transport supplies and the wounded, and rescue the injured in the earthquake... As long as they can do it, everyone will spare no effort to do it and strive to do their best.
Wang Yaoxiang treated the wounds of the injured people in the temporary surgical tent. Although he was busy every day, Wang Yaoxiang would go out to look around during the break. At that time, he didn't know why he just wanted to find someone. He was the one who was talking about to liven up the atmosphere. Dude.
"Because I am under a lot of pressure every day, not only is my physical and physical strength completely overdrawn, but also my spirit is gradually unable to bear it." So Wang Yaoxiang wanted to see what the man was doing. He hoped to hear that guy tell two more jokes to relax his mood a little.
Maybe there is some tacit understanding between them. When Wang Yaoxiang was thinking so, suddenly the guy's strange but interesting song sounded again. Wang Yaoxiang said that he had never heard such a funny singing method. Although it was really unpleasant, he really relaxed a lot after laughing.
Later, Wang Yaoxiang gradually got to know and familiar with that person, and they gradually became good friends who said nothing. In war or disaster, even people with estrangement will become the closest comrades-in-arms.
"That guy's name is Wang Yongguang. He said he opened a bar." Wang Yaoxiang said that at that time, almost all the people in the same car were volunteers from one place. Because of this relationship, the relationship between the two of them was better.
In fact, since Cao Bo began to talk about this matter, he has been guessing whether the funny person has anything to do with the old man Wang Hongguang. When Wang Yaoxiang said that the man opened a bar, Cao Bo finally knew who he was talking about.
"Is he his son?" Cao Bo was a little excited, so there was something wrong with this sentence, but Wang Yaoxiang understood it, sighed gently and nodded.
The rescue operation that year was very smooth, and when these people were preparing to evacuate from the mountains, there was a sudden aftershock of 5.8. And with the earthquake, a landslide occurred. Countless stones rolled down the mountain, and almost all the simple tents at the foot of the mountain were threatened.
In order to rescue those who were killed and besieged, the soldiers of the army have rushed up, and several of the volunteers have also gone up. Because one more person's effort may save one more person's life.
Wang Yaoxiang was supposed to go up, but he was pulled by Wang Yongguang.
"He said that I was a medical staff, and the task of saving people should be in the emergency tent. He also said that he would help me make up for my share..." Wang Yaoxiang said this, and his red eyes were a little blurred.
Wang Yongguang did not eat his promise. He proved with his actions that a person's potential in times of crisis is infinite.
One, two... Wang Yongguang seemed to have inextricable physical strength. After he recited the injured, he even turned around and ran to the mountain without even gasping.
"That..." Cao Bo was also a little entangled when he heard this. Although he had guessed the ending, he didn't want the optimistic young man to lose his life in the earthquake.
"The formation is broken..." Wang Yaoxiang sighed heavily, saying that Wang Yongguang had saved several people at that time, and Wang Yaoxiang was also busy at the operating table at that time.
But suddenly Wang Yaoxiang only felt an obvious vibration under his feet, and then there was a rumbling sound outside the tent.
Wang Yaoxiang suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart at that time. After he quickly bandaged the patient, he also ran out of the tent.
"At that time, the rock layer under Wang Yongguang's feet broke. He and three soldiers were trapped there, and the rock fracture marks were getting bigger and bigger, and there was a possibility of collapse and being submerged at any time." Wang Yaoxiang finally couldn't help wiping the corners of his eyes. He said that the earth under his feet continued to vibrate at that time, and his heart fluctuated even more strongly than the earthquake, because the good friend in the distance was about to be swallowed up by the broken rock.
However, just when everyone was anxious and didn't want to witness the tragedy, Wang Yongguang, who was trapped in it, suddenly sang.
"I still remember very clearly that the guy sang "Life and Death", and I didn't know at that time that he sang so well..." Wang Yaoxiang said and hummed softly. Although he couldn't remember the lyrics and the melody were not completely accurate, Cao Bo listened at this moment. I feel so shocked when I get up!
Wang Yaoxiang finally couldn't control the tears in his eyes. He shed two lines of tears without hiding it...
The man's tears are not light. Wang Yaoxiang's tears do not mean his cowardice. On the contrary, this is the most affectionate memory of his comrade-in-arms.
"I brought this bad news to his family. I didn't expect that his mother died soon because of excessive grief..." Wang Yaoxiang finally controlled his emotions. He said that he pulled the topic back: "Because Wang Yongguang was buried in the broken rock at that time, he couldn't find it at all. When it comes to the body, perhaps for this reason, the old man has been sticking to the bar and telling others that his son is abroad?
"Because he has been looking forward to when his son can come back to meet him again..." Cao Bo also felt that his nose was a little sore. He nodded as if he had made up his mind: "Then we shouldn't sit idly by? Grandpa Wang's operation must also be done!"
Wang Yaoxiang also agreed with Cao Bo's words. He said that he still had 30,000 to 40,000 yuan of savings to take out first, even if he did something for that friend. But if you want to have an operation, you have to convince the old man, otherwise it will be useless for him not to cooperate with everything.
"And the rest of the money..." Wang Yaoxiang seemed to be afraid of putting too much pressure on Cao Bo, so he just stressed that he would find a way to raise it.
Cao Bo can also see Wang Yaoxiang's difficulties, but there are only two days left, and there is still a gap of tens of thousands of yuan. Can he make up for it in such a short time?
If Cao Bo had considered how to persuade the old man to sell the bar before he heard Wang Yaoxiang talk about this history, but now he has made up his mind that this bar should be kept anyway! Because that is the only spiritual sustenance of the old man...
