The smell of blood, and the sound of yelling and scolding.
Looking back on the previous rescues, it was common when blood was splashed all over his face and body, but Shen Shiyan never felt the smell of blood rushing through his nose now.
Finally, the security guard caught up and pulled the group of people away. Xu Yanwu was still grabbing at the man with the knife and beating, Shen Shiyan exerted his strength, and only pulled him out of his crazy state by wrapping his arms around his upper body. When holding him back, Shen Shiyan could still hear the heavy and suppressed breathing of the boy in his arms.
The surroundings were too cluttered, with shouts, faint sobbing, and loud reprimands mixed together, making Shen Shiyan's heart numb. His arms tightened with all his strength, and kept saying to Xu Yanwu in his arms, "Yanwu, calm down."
Being crowded all the time, Shen Shiyan didn't know what happened to Meng Xintang, whether he had any wounds, and when Xu Yanwu calmed down and gritted his teeth to free him, he hurriedly turned around to find the injured Meng Xintang.
As soon as he turned around, his arm was held, and the glasses on the bridge of the nose that had slipped off during the conflict were gently pushed back to their original positions.
"Are you all right?"
Seeing the concerned eyes of the person in front of him, and looking at the blood-soaked wound on his forearm, Shen Shiyan pinched his arm with one hand and frowned, "I should ask this question."
"It's okay," Meng Xintang waved his arms as if to prove it, "it's not serious, it's just a skin injury."
In fact, when Meng Xintang saw the man swinging the knife at Shen Shiyan just now, he immediately put his arm on Shen Shiyan's wrist, but the man was incoherent and irritable when he was swinging the knife. Injured Meng Xintang to block his forearm.
"Don't move." Shen Shiyan grabbed the dishonest person. He pulled him aside, carefully lifted the torn clothes and checked it out. After confirming that the wound was really not deep, he raised his head and said, "I'll take you to treat the wound."
in the office.
"Why did you come here?" Shen Shiyan asked while disinfecting Meng Xintang's wound.
"I happened to be free today. I grabbed the traditional Chinese medicine for you, prepared it and told it to you, but I couldn't contact you, so I came to the hospital to find it."
It's a bit of a blessing to say that, in fact, Meng Xintang will be fine tomorrow. It stands to reason that he could have waited for Shen Shiyan's reply and found a time for him tomorrow. But this afternoon, he didn't know what was going on, he just couldn't sit still and wanted to come over to find him.
"Sorry for bothering you."
Meng Xintang immediately shook his head and whispered, "Nothing."
Shen Shiyan's movements were very light, he disinfected him in an orderly manner, and gave him medicine. Seeing him bow his head and put on a bandage, Meng Xintang remembered how he turned his fingers around his nails in the piano shop that day. It seems that the actions are somewhat similar.
Shen Shiyan kept watching Meng Xintang's wound, but Meng Xintang kept watching him.
"The wound can't get wet, don't eat spicy food like fish and shrimp, and it's best not to eat spicy food, you know?"
Follow your doctor's orders.
Meng Xintang nodded obediently: "I know."
"I'll change your medicine in two days."
From beginning to end, Xu Yanwu sat beside him without saying a word, his forehead was sweaty. Before Shen Shiyan gave him a glass of water, he held it and didn't drink it, just stared at the ground in a daze.
When Shen Shiyan wrapped up Meng Xintang's wound, the police who dealt with the accident also came. The police asked about the general situation and made a record, saying that the fact that there was a change of medicine, the medical dispute was relatively clear, and there would not be any major problems.
After the police left, the old director closed the door and opened it with a sigh.
"You said there was a riot last time, you still don't know who this family is?"
The things on the table that were used to treat the wound were put away one by one, the instruments slammed against the tray, and the person who made the noise was expressionless and calm.
"You know, didn't you sign before the operation?"
Seeing his calm appearance, the old director suddenly became angry, angry that he didn't take things seriously, and that he was not afraid. He chased after Shen Shiyan to teach: "Don't tell me you didn't see the problem, you still dare to operate on them when you see the problem, is the medical trouble a trivial matter? Drill into the sleeve, right? You ask if there is another person in the entire hospital who will do this kind of surgery!"
Shen Shiyan didn't speak, and let the scolding hit him on the head. He poured Meng Xintang a glass of warm water, and asked him whether it was hot or cold, as if it wasn't him who was being troubled just now, and it wasn't him who was being taught a lesson now.
There was a knock on the door of the office at this moment, two knocks, very light, revealing excessive caution.
After getting permission to "please come in", the door was gently pushed open. It didn't open round, only intermittently, cracking a small gap that could barely squeeze people in.
A middle-aged woman entered the door, her sunken eyes were red and swollen, and she was so thin that her skin and bones were detached. Her hand holding the doorknob was still shaking slightly. After seeing Shen Shiyan, her emotions suddenly became more excited, and she stumbled to Shen Shiyan.
Meng Xintang had an impression on her that she was the one who tried to stop the trouble just now.
Before everyone could react, they heard a muffled sound, and the woman's knee slammed to the ground.
"Doctor Shen... I'm sorry... I really don't know..." With the choked sobbing, the woman's words were intermittent, which made the old director frown.
"I didn't know my brother and sister-in-law changed their medicine... They... I'm sorry Dr. Shen... "
Shen Shiyan, who had regained her senses, hurriedly bent over to help her, but probably because of grief, because of the feeling of being overwhelmed, this withered woman's body seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, and Shen Shiyan couldn't move it. Meng Xintang, who was beside him, got up and supported the person on the ground on a chair with him. Shen Shiyan glanced at Meng Xintang's arm, pushed him, and told him to sit down.
The old director brought a glass of water to the woman, reassured her not to be so excited, and said slowly.
"I heard from the police that medical troubles are going to go to jail... Doctor Shen, they know they're wrong... Can you please not sue them... I really don't know if they change the medicine... I, I... "
"I" for a long time, but there is no more words, only the cry of "woo woo", and later, the woman did not utter a complete sentence, not even the words to beg for mercy. If there are too many things to cry about, you probably won’t know what to say and what to cry.
Shen Shiyan silently accepted the pleading gaze, and slowly, the woman's cry seemed to have changed its tone, turning into a long, cold voice that finally declared death on the operating table today.
The office was very quiet, Xu Yanwu didn't know what he was thinking, staring at the woman who was crying so hard, his face was cold. The old director was speechless, his eyes wandered between Shen Shiyan and the woman for a long time, and finally turned his head away, leaving only a helpless sigh.
When the woman's trembling back disappeared in the corridor, Shen Shiyan went back to the house, closed the door, and said to the old director who looked out the window solemnly: "You said, when she begged me to save her father, can I save her? ."
When Shen Shiyan walked in, he passed Xu Yanwu who was sitting in the corner, raised his hand and touched his head. Xu Yanwu was stunned for a moment, then ducked. Seeing this, Shen Shiyan put his hand on his head and slapped it hard.
"Director, I'm off work. My friend and brother haven't eaten yet, so I won't be watching here. I know this won't be over for a while, don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."
"You..." The old director hesitated, and after reconsidering, he continued, "Saving people is right, but if you want to be scolded, the difference between dying on the hospital bed and dying on the operating table is too much. Yes. You took him to the operating table, no matter what the family members have done, they can always stir you in, just one sentence is enough, people die on your operating table. "
While listening to the old director's words, Shen Shiyan had already taken off his white coat. Meng Xintang saw that he hung his white coat on the hanger by the door, and carefully trimmed the cuffs and collar.
"I don't know if the patient's family wants him to live, but I know that this patient wants to live, and I am his attending doctor." Shen Shiyan took off his glasses and raised his hand to squeeze the position of Jingming acupoint. . Meng Xintang also wears glasses, so he knows that this is an action that a person only does when he is extremely tired and exhausted.
"Besides, I was originally responsible for this matter, and I didn't plan to choose myself clearly. I asked him to go to the operating table to show that I saw the possibility of rescue. I decided to do it for him based on his current physical condition. The operation, no matter what the cause of his physical condition, was unable to save him and caused his death in this operation, I am very sorry, and I cannot shirk the responsibility."
Meng Xintang's hand clenched unconsciously, causing the wound on his arm to hurt a little.
Xu Yanwu, who had been sitting quietly, stood up abruptly. The movement was so loud that several people in the room froze. Shen Shiyan seemed to have expected it, and shouted at the people who were about to rush out the door.
Xu Yanwu stopped at the door with his back to the people.
Meng Xintang looked at his back, completely unable to connect the angry young man today with the lazy boss he saw in the piano room.
"My friend and brother haven't eaten yet, Director, I'll go first, please help me keep an eye on it."
Since Meng Xintang drove the car, but his arm was injured again, Shen Shiyan could only drive. Holding the car keys, Meng Xintang asked Shen Shiyan, "Can you drive?"
For so long, he didn't seem to have seen Shen Shiyan drive.
"Of course, I just didn't buy a car, so I don't drive much, but occasionally I will be a driver for my friends who have been drinking." Shen Shiyan said with a smile.
"I'll drive." Xu Yanwu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly interrupted.
Shen Shiyan glanced at him and said, "Pull it down."
As far as Xu Yanwu's emotions were concerned, he didn't know if he could calm him down tonight.
When he got into the car, Shen Shiyan smelled the residual Chinese medicine smell in the car. He turned his head to Meng Xintang and said, "It's a pity for those medicines."
Just before he left, he went to the fifth floor to look around, but he couldn't find it, and it was probably taken away by the cleaning aunt. It's really a pity, but Meng Xintang cooked it by himself.
Meng Xintang stretched out the seat belt, and because one hand was injured, he felt a little awkward when he buckled the seat belt. Shen Shiyan leaned slightly and took it.
"I won't eat, I'll go back to school." Xu Yanwu in the back seat suddenly said.
Shen Shiyan and Meng Xintang both looked at the rearview mirror when they heard the words, Xu Yanwu was leaning on the back seat, his eyes kept looking out the window.
"You are obedient, go have a meal first."
"No," Xu Yanwu's words were not so polite, he moved his body and sat up straight, "I can't eat, senior brother, you take me back to school."
Shen Shiyan didn't make a sound and started the car.
When approaching the Conservatory of Music, Shen Shiyan asked, "How many tickets did you give me?"
No one answered. Shen Shiyan called Xu Yanwu again and repeated the question just now.
"Two."
"Um."
In fact, Shen Shiyan has something to say to Xu Yanwu. For example, if there is a performance tomorrow, we shouldn't fight like this today. How precious is the hand of the piano player. Fortunately, he was not injured today. little things. For another example, he wanted to tell him that what happened today was just an accident, and he wanted to tell him not to think blindly.
But he said nothing, because he knew that he could not comfort Xu Yanwu. To appease his emotions, it is inevitable to mention the past, and it is bound to touch on the point where the two of them have been arguing.
Shen Shiyan frowned unconsciously, and bit his lower lip lightly because of his distress. Meng Xintang caught a glimpse and asked him what was wrong with his eyes.
"Do you have time tomorrow, Yan Wu's graduation performance."
Tomorrow
Meng Xintang thought about it and nodded.
"Have time."
The car drove to the gate of the Conservatory of Music, Shen Shiyan pulled over and parked the car, but Xu Yanwu did not move. Shen Shiyan understood, and silently put out the fire, thinking that what should come is still coming.
"Can't you stop being a doctor?"
This question is abrupt. Meng Xintang tilted his head and looked at Shen Shiyan beside him.
Shen Shiyan sighed in his heart and returned to this question.
"No," he said.
Xu Yanwu bit his lip fiercely, his eyes widened, as if he was holding back something.
"Today's situation is really just a special case..."
"What special circumstances!" Before Shen Shiyan could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Xu Yanwu, "Isn't one time enough!"
In many cases, the explanation is just a handful of gasoline poured over the already vigorous fire.
Shen Shiyan didn't know that this was the first time they had quarreled over this matter, and this time, as usual, he didn't know how to explain to Xu Yanwu that a doctor-patient relationship was not the same as a doctor-patient relationship, let alone how to make Xu Yanwu Believe that he will not be in danger. Because of his distress and understanding, he did not want to touch the scar that Xu Yanwu could not get better after so many years. He could only listen to Xu Yanwu's words like venting his anger quietly as before.
"Isn't this still an accident? If one person didn't take the knife today, what if a group of people took the knife, what would happen if their knives were longer? How many of you do you think would be able to get out! How many people can survive!"
Meng Xintang listened quietly, but he heard a choked voice.
Shen Shiyan didn't speak until he heard the movement of the schoolbag behind him.
"If you are worried about today's events, I assure you that even if you encounter this situation again, you will not put your life in danger."
After a terrifying silence, the door was pushed open and Xu Yanwu got out of the car.
Some people will believe this kind of guarantee, and some people will not believe it at all.
Xu Yanwu held the car door and said slowly, "I will never go to the hospital again in my life."
With a bang, the door was slammed shut, as if to shatter the last thin air in the car.
Shen Shiyan was silent for a moment, folded his arms on the steering wheel, and buried his head.
No one can guarantee anything in the face of the unexpected.
