Chapter 1 Saving the Big Toe
Everything in front of him made Zhao Peng feel like he was in a dream.
Grey-white walls, old-fashioned wooden double-opened glass windows, six white-painted steel pipe beds, and patients with an old smell on their faces are only smelled in hospitals. Everything he saw and felt was so unreal.
What makes him feel most unreal is the bedside card. The admission time column actually says 1996.6.18. The style of the bedside card is old, but the handwriting is clear, which is definitely not like the one that has not been changed in 16 years.
Since Zhao Peng woke up, he has been pinching the root of his thigh, which made him pinch purple. The pain of skin and flesh is so real that there is no feeling of dreaming at all.
What the hell is going on! Zhao Peng was at a loss.
At this time, the little nurse passing by the door saw Zhao Peng sitting and looking around. He hurried in and said to Zhao Peng, "You're awake!" Lie down quickly."
Zhao Peng looked at the beautiful little nurse and asked, "What is this place?"
The little nurse looked at the handsome guy and muttered in a low voice, "The brain is also broken."
Although the little nurse's voice was as low as that of a mosquito, Zhao Peng still heard it. He felt more and more wrong. He reached out and grabbed the little nurse's white coat and asked, "What year and month is it?"
"96, June 19th." The little nurse glanced at Zhao Peng's hand and looked at his bright eyes.
"How could it be 1996?" Zhao Peng's hand holding the white coat was weakly loosened.
"Doctor, the injured man's head was broken." Seeing Zhao Peng's unruly appearance, the little nurse was a little scared, shouted and ran out.
Zhao Peng looked at the little nurse's thin back, but his thoughts were spinning rapidly. He remembered that he was entangled by three students who wanted to eat a bully meal in the restaurant, saying that the half-dead cockroach crawled out of fish-flavored shredded pork. As the front office manager of the hotel, if there are guests who don't pay the bill, their salary will definitely be deducted. In order not to be deducted from his salary, he could only casually pick up the half-dead cockroach with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and pretended to be very comfortable and said, "This is chopped green onion."
After eating this cockroach, Zhao Peng saw the eyes of the three students as if they had seen a ghost.
Then he felt weak and softened. At the moment of fainting, he heard one of the students say, "Didn't you say that this cockroach has been tortured by your chemical laboratory for a month. It has no vitality for a long time. Why is it so lethal?"
Then, Chaopeng didn't know anything. When he opened his eyes just now, he saw the ward and knew that he had been sent to the hospital. But how could it be 16 years ago?
Sixteen years ago!
Zhao Peng suddenly thought of the car accident 16 years ago, which can be said to have changed his life. Because of the doctor's carelessness, a small piece of glass between his toes was not taken out. The glass fragments later cut his toe tendon and had a serious infection. In the end, he had to amputate the big thumb of his right foot and lost his lifelong disability. Zhao Peng, who had a flamboyant personality, completely sank.
Thinking of this, Zhao Peng carefully looked at his right foot wrapped in gauze, gently moved his big toe, and a tingling between his toes spread all over his body. Zhao Peng had a cold war, and he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Everything proves that it was 16 years ago.
At this time, the little nurse came in with a female doctor.
"Doctor, I suspect that his brain is also broken." The little nurse quietly pointed to Zhao Peng.
The female doctor came to Zhao Peng, opened Zhao Peng's eyes and asked professionally, "What's your name?"
Zhao Peng did not answer the doctor's question, but asked the doctor, "I came in because of a car accident?"
The little nurse stretched out her hand and pulled the doctor's white coat and pouted, meaning, you see, it's brainy.
The female doctor turned around and nodded slightly to the little nurse, and then turned her head to ask Zhao Peng, "Tell me, what's your name?"
"Tell me first, did I come in because of a car accident?" Zhao Peng still did not answer the doctor's question.
"Yes, you came in because of a car accident." The doctor frowned and felt that the little nurse was right.
Zhao Peng frowned and asked, "I took a long-distance bus from Dongbin to Bingcheng?"
The female doctor nodded and then said to the little nurse, "Take him to do a brain CT."
There was a tumbling in Zhao Peng's heart. He never thought that a cockroach in a biological laboratory would bring him back 16 years ago.
The little nurse came over timidly and wanted to help Zhao Peng to do brain CT. Zhao Peng blocked the little nurse's hand and said to the female doctor, "I'm not sick. There is a small piece of glass between my right toe and second toe. Help me take it out."
The little nurse smiled at the female doctor when she heard this. The female doctor couldn't help smiling and said, "Go for a brain examination first, and then help you take out that... what glass piece."
Zhao Peng knew that the female doctor and the little nurse firmly believed that her brain had been broken. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "There is indeed a small piece of glass between the big toe and the second toe of my right foot. If it is not taken out, it will slowly cut the tendon on the inside of my big toe, and there will be a serious infection. Finally, my big toe will have to be amputated. I will become a disabled person."
"Puff." The little nurse couldn't help laughing.
The female doctor looked at Zhao Peng's serious appearance and smiled. But she quickly put away her smile and said righteously, "We have dealt with the trauma of your right foot. There will be no problem. You have been in a coma all night and have a brain CT examination.
It was not only the little nurse and the female doctor who confirmed that there was something wrong with Zhao Peng's head, but also the patients next to him felt that there was something wrong with the young man's head, and they all felt sorry for the handsome young man.
"Wow--." Zhao Peng exhaled a long breath of turbidity and said very solemnly, "Doctor, when you treated the wound, it was not treated thoroughly. There was a small glass fragment between the big and second toes of my right foot. If I don't take it out, I will completely become a disability in my life.
"Became him for brain CT." After the female doctor finished speaking, she didn't want to talk nonsense with another brainy guy and turned around to leave.
"Hight! Doctor, there is something wrong with my brain. There is something wrong with my feet. Zhao Peng shouted loudly.
The female doctor turned around, looked at Zhao Peng impatiently, and then said to the little nurse, "Open the gauze on his right foot and let him see for himself."
The little nurse looked at Zhao Peng and the female doctor with an unwilling face.
Seeing that the little nurse did not move, the doctor said, "Take it apart and change the medicine for him by the way." After saying that, I went out.
The little nurse nodded helplessly, turned around and left.
As soon as Zhao Peng saw that the little nurse was leaving, he hurriedly shouted, "The doctor asked you to change the medicine for me."
"I'm going to push the nursing car." The little nurse replied unhappily.
Zhao Peng was relieved. He had been disabled for 16 years in his last life, and he could no longer be disabled in this life. Just when Zhao Peng felt happy, he faintly heard the disease near the door whisper, "People with brain problems say that their brains are fine."
Zhao Peng felt that his ears seemed to be better than before. He was separated by two beds, and his voice was so low that he could still hear them clearly. He is so excited that he doesn't have time to care about this with others.
After a while, the little nurse pushed the shabby nursing cart to the bedside and said to Zhao Peng impatiently, "Be patient, don't cry for pain."
"I know." Zhao Peng answered impatiently.
The little nurse opened the gauze layer by layer. As the gauze opened, Zhao Peng saw his red and swollen right foot. The little nurse looked at the foot impatiently and said, "It's all right. There's no problem."
"Between the big toe and the second toe, take a closer look." Zhao Peng said.
The little nurse glanced at the big toe and the second toe and said coldly, "No problem, well, just poke and reduce the swelling."
Zhao Peng finally saw that the little nurse recognized that she had a brain problem and fooled around here. He raised his right leg, stepped on the bed with his heel, and said to the little nurse, "Give me the tweezers."
The little nurse was stunned and didn't expect this one to be real. In her surprise, Zhao Peng had taken the tweezers from the nursing car. He opened the big and second toes of his right foot with his left hand, and put the tweezers into the wound little by little with the pain. In order not to be disabled in his next life, he risked everything.
At this time, the female doctor just came back from the room inspection and came over again. Seeing the blood flowing between Zhao Peng's toes, he couldn't bear to say, "You will enlarge the wound like this."
"I know." Zhao Peng said firmly, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and the tweezers penetrated into the wound little by little.
The little nurse couldn't bear to look at Zhao Peng's bloody feet again and turned her head away.
Zhao Peng's eyebrows were tight and his facial features were tight, but his right hand and right foot were as steady as a rock.
When Zhao Peng slowly withdrew the tweezers from the wound, there was a small piece half the size of a fingernail on the tip of the tweezers.
The female doctor and the little nurse were a little dumbfounded when they saw this blood-stained glass.
"Ding." Zhao Peng threw the tweezers and that thing on the white steel plate of the nursing car.
The person next to him came over curiously and said in surprise, "What a small piece of glass!"
At this time, Zhao Peng was already in pain as if he had just steamed a sauna. His body was weak and his head was sweating. He lay on his back and said to the stunned little nurse, "I have something else to do. Change the medicine for me!"
"Good." Only then did the little nurse wake up and began to treat Zhao Peng's wound.
The female doctor looked at Zhao Peng in disbelief, paused for a moment, felt that it was not very good to stand here, and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Doctor, wait a minute." Zhao Peng wiped the sweat on his head and called the doctor.
The doctor was shocked by Zhao Peng's sound. He quickly turned around and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Let me use the phone." Zhao Peng said.
"Telephone, there is a phone at the nurse's station." The female doctor replied in a hurry.
Zhao Peng frowned and said to himself, this is 1996. Big Brother is a luxury. How can an ordinary doctor afford Big Brother? He smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "I know."
After saying that, Zhao Peng lay down again. He has saved his foot now, and the next thing to do is more important. He is going to save a girl's life.
According to Zhao Peng's memory, in the last life, he took a bus to the Ice City overnight to save Sister Wen Xiu.
