The sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
The sky was overcast.
From the time when the sky was about to light up, light snow had already started to fall, and by 8 o'clock in the morning, large flakes of snow were sprinkled one after another, spinning and falling on the street, covering the ground with a thin layer of white.
The old snow has not yet melted, and the new snow is accumulating again.
A white Audi stopped at the entrance of the big pharmacy. As soon as it stopped, the door was pushed open. Qin Guanglin walked in quickly carrying a black bag.
"Hi, I would like to trouble you to find out what kind of disease this is for?"
The doctor in front of the medicine cabinet looked up, glanced at the tired young man standing in front of him, ignored the medicine he put on the counter, lowered his head again and said, "Isn't it your medicine?"
"no."
Qin Guanglin felt uneasy all night. If there was a label, it would be fine, but the label on the medicine bottle was torn off, and it was still hidden so tightly, which inevitably made him think too much.
The more he pondered, the more uncertain he became. Finally, he waited until after seven o'clock, estimating that the pharmacy would open soon, and immediately came out with the medicine. As a result, the surrounding pharmacies were not open during the Chinese New Year. He drove around for a long time before finding this place.
"Then you can ask the person who takes the medicine. This kind of question is illegal, and I can't tell you."
"..."
Qin Guanglin's hand in front of the counter slightly exerted force, and a small piece of white was pressed out of his nails. After a moment of silence, he turned his head and wanted to go elsewhere.
Hearing this, the doctor raised his head again, frowned and said, "You... tsk..."
"Help me... Thank you." Qin Guanglin looked at her sincerely, "This person is very important to me, and I am very worried. Even if you don't tell me now, I can always ask about it in other places, just want to know about them What is the cure..."
"Others say it's other people's business. I have my professional ethics." The doctor waved his hand to interrupt, but his eyes fell on the medicine he put on the medicine cabinet. His eyes narrowed slightly. Seeing Qin Guanglin turning around and about to leave, he hesitated and shouted again: "etc… "
"Um?"
"The person you are talking about, who are you?"
"...my wife."
"What do you do?" The doctor asked this sentence, seeing Qin Guanglin frown slightly, and added: "I just want to ask, do you work in the hospital?"
Qin Guanglin's heart sank slowly, and he shook his head and said, "No, she's a teacher." He paused, looked at the medicine bottle and pills in his hand, and then raised his eyes to the doctor, "What's the medicine... Question?"
"The problem...is a little bit." The doctor was hesitating whether to say it or not.
If it's some other normal medicine, she doesn't even look at it, and she likes to ask wherever she likes. Matters related to the patient's privacy are the bottom line.
But now is the exception.
After pouring out the pills in the medicine bottle to have a look, she estimated the amount left in it again, her face became more serious, she raised her head and said, "This... is a sleeping pill."
"It's just sleeping pills?" Qin Guanglin was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, slowly letting go of his hanging heart.
It's just sleeping pills. Although this thing is often associated with suicide, Mr. He...is it possible
There is no possibility at all.
"Thank you, thank you very much."
He nodded his thanks, but the doctor ignored it. He reached out to pick up the other medicine, touched it, pointed at it with his finger and said, "Sulolam, this should be estazolam..."
"They are all prescription drugs. In addition to helping sleep, they can also be used to relieve anxiety, fear, tension..."
"... now the control over sleeping pills is very strict, usually they are prescribed by pills, ten pills, twenty pills... no one dares to give a whole bottle directly, this bottle is a whole hundred pills, so I ask your patient What occupation, do you work in a hospital, what about the teacher... I don't know how she bought a whole bottle... "
"...and this bottle is almost half gone, and some of these other medicines have also been taken. Like this, they are highly addictive, and they are usually taken when there is really no other way. Fortunately, this bottle is only a few. I took two slices…”
"... This bag of medicine is all Valium, and a single doctor would definitely not be able to prescribe it. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't say so much... If she took it secretly without telling you, this situation..."
…
"Mom, I'm going to visit River City."
"Hey, eh, why are you in such a hurry? You..."
boom.
Qin Guanglin took his clothes and went out directly, got into the car and started the car.
Now is the time for returning from the Spring Festival travel rush, and I can't get half of the tickets, so I can only drive there.
The car window was opened a crack, and the bitter cold wind whizzed in, making him shrink his neck, and his thoughts kept rolling in his head, mixed with the doctor's words.
chaos.
Very messy.
Qin Guanglin never thought about it, why not be optimistic and cheerful all the time, why not smile and tease him all day long, why not always put a silly smile on his face——
There's a bunch of Valium hidden in the bottom of her storage box... some of them are mostly eaten.
Insomnia
anxiety
still…
If it wasn't for him tidying up the room on a whim... A feeling of fear came to my heart after a while.
Fortunately, it was discovered early.
Qin Guanglin frowned and stopped the car, took out his mobile phone and wanted to call He Wu first, but looked at the mobile phone and hesitated again. Since he was hiding it from him, there must be nothing to ask on the phone, and we still have to meet.
Living together for more than half a year, he didn't even notice...
As a boyfriend, dereliction of duty.
Very remiss.
After restarting the car, Qin Guanglin suddenly paused, staring at himself in the rearview mirror, all the past flashed through his head.
"I can't sleep, come in... Just get up early tomorrow..."
"... Student Qin, are you asleep?"
"I've been a little sleepless lately..."
"... I can't sleep, I miss you so much."
He Wu's voice hovered in his heart, and the car roared towards Hecheng.
Qin Guanglin finally figured it out. Before moving in together, he had already turned off the lights for her and said goodnight at about ten o'clock every night, but she didn't wake up until eleven or twelve o'clock the next day for breakfast.
Does anyone sleep more than twelve hours a day
Maybe occasionally, but few people do this every day.
He squeezed the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turned white, and suddenly he opened the gap of the car window a little wider. Suddenly, the chill rushed in from outside the car, clearing his mind and sweeping away his tangled thoughts. Another question popped up from the bottom of my heart.
After living together, why not go to bed most of the time, and there has never been a sign of insomnia.
this…
has a problem.
It is impossible for the medicine to appear out of thin air, and it is impossible for a small part of it to disappear out of thin air, and it is even more impossible to collect it for a friend.
If a friend suffers from insomnia, why ask her to help
"They are all prescription drugs. In addition to helping sleep, they can also be used to relieve anxiety, fear, tension..."
The doctor's words came to my ears again, and Qin Guanglin's heart twitched violently while driving.
Anxiety... Fear... Nervous...
What is she afraid of
