I rubbed my eyes to make sure I read it right, that curly hair no one else could imitate.

Obediently, Long Dingdong, why did he come here?

As I rushed downstairs, I picked up my cell phone and made a call.

It's a pity that the phone was not connected, and the stairs downstairs were locked.

Who locked the door, really took us as prisoners!

I had no choice but to walk back cursing and calling my mother and father repeatedly, but the signal was always busy.I changed the number of my eldest brother and second brother, but still no one answered.

Back on the floor where I lived, I looked out from the narrow window in the hallway.The doctors and nurses in charge of this isolation area gathered by the iron gate in the yard, and the light outside was dim, shining on people, creating multiple shadows.Chi Qian's small figure was submerged in a blur of black shadows.

"This is not where you should come, go back!"

"Let go! Kids, let go!"

All that could be heard were the doctors yelling sharply, but Chi Qian's voice was not revealed at all.

I leaned half of my body outside, trying my best to see where he was and to hear if there was his voice, but only the whistling of the wind was in my ears.I could only hear the louder and louder voices below. Those tired medical staff must have worn out their patience. From my direction, I could already see someone pulling their hands, as if they wanted to forcibly pull Chi Qian out.

"Ugh-"

There was a broken sob, and my heart was raised, and I shouted loudly: "A Juan, A Juan!"

The people below paused for a moment, and looked up at me.The people spread out a little, and I could finally see Chi Qian who was surrounded, he was holding on to the iron fence, and he was still in the posture of being pulled back.

"Dad!" he yelled loudly.

This scream made my heart tremble, and I quickly formed a trumpet shape with my hands: "Hey, that's my child, don't be so heavy on your hands and feet! Don't hurt him!"

The doctors whispered to each other for a while, and soon a nurse broke through the crowd and ran out. She crossed the yard very quickly and came towards me.

Yes, yes, come up and open the door for me!

I quickly ran to the stairs again, and just as I reached the locked stairs, the nurse also arrived.

"Open the door!" I said eagerly.

Panting, the nurse supported her knee and waved her hand: "Is that your son?"

"It's my son, you open the door quickly." I said.

"Why don't you take a look at your own children! Let the children come here to make trouble! How dangerous!" After she regained her breath, she slapped me on the head and covered her face. If it’s not enough chaos, come and add to the chaos!”

I had no choice but to make amends: "I'm sorry, the child is ignorant. He hasn't seen his father for a long time. He is also worried. He probably sneaked out from his grandma. We are wrong about this matter. I apologize to you. Calm down too, can you open the door for me? I'll go down and help you teach him a lesson!"

The nurse's complexion improved, and she shook her head: "This door can't be opened, and you don't need to teach him, just tell us your home address, and we will help you send the child back. You are still a patient, go back and have a good rest." Let's go!"

I soaked it for a long time, and the nurse didn't like oil or salt, so I had no choice but to tell my parents' home address, and I begged them to help me send Chiqian back.

As soon as the nurse turned around, I hurried back to the corridor. Seeing that the stalemate was still there, I quickly shouted to Chi Qian: "Juan, go home with uncle and aunt!"

He looked up at me, didn't speak, and didn't let go of his hands.

"Be obedient, go home with uncle and aunt!"

His hand loosened slowly, and I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when I saw him short and hit the abdomen of the doctor closest to him like a cannonball, the doctor fell to the side in pain, and he took the opportunity Run away from the crowd.

"A Juan! A Juan!" I shouted desperately while leaning on the window, but he just ran away blindly, the little man was running so fast that he was out of sight in a blink of an eye.

This is bad.

I really can't wait to jump off the stairs and chase him!

The powerlessness of being unable to do anything made me extremely anxious, and I kicked the wall hard.

After much deliberation, the only option is to quickly find someone to bring the child back.But my mobile phone was almost smashed by me. No one listened to the landline at home, nor did my parents' mobile phones. Even my eldest and second brothers disappeared!

Have you all been abducted by aliens?

I scratched my head anxiously.

You said that such a young child ran out so late, what should he do if he catches the cold, what if he encounters a human trafficker, what if he is hit by a car,!

Oh yes, Wei Heng, isn't there Wei Heng, how could I have forgotten him!

At this moment, it was like a drowning person had found the last straw. I quickly called Wei Heng.

Every second of the waiting time was stretched like a time, and I stomped my feet while muttering: "Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up quickly!"

The beeping busy tone was finally replaced by a brief clicking sound, and Wei Heng said somewhat confusedly, "Hello, Ayan."

I just noticed it was late at night.

I didn't bother to apologize, and said incoherently: "Wei Heng, I don't know what happened at home, and no one answered the phone. I don't know how Chi Qian knew I was here, and even ran over, and now I don't know how to run away." Where did you go..."

"Wait a minute, take your time, I'm about to get dizzy from you." Wei Heng interrupted me calmly.

I took a few deep breaths before saying: "Chi Qian ran away from home and found me here somehow. I called back and asked my parents to come and pick him up, but no one answered at home. Parents, elder brother No one answered my second brother's cell phone."

I don't need to explain further, Wei Heng has already fully understood what I mean, he immediately said: "I understand, don't worry, I'll go to your house to have a look first. Maybe your parents are asleep and didn't hear, by the way See if Chi Qian has gone back."

"Brother, thank you." I breathed a sigh of relief, my tense nerves relaxed, and I felt very dizzy.It was a damp and cold spring night, and the draft in the hallway blew the sweat from my back onto my skin coldly.Saying goodbye to Wei Heng, I walked back to the room slowly, leaning on the wall, already a little bit dizzy.

Throwing myself on the bed, I buried my face in the futon that smelled of disinfectant.

What my father is doing is really failing more and more.I can't take good care of my children, and I have to worry about me as an adult in turn, and now I have fallen to the point where I demand everything from others.It's really bad luck for Wei Heng to have an incompetent friend like me.

Worry and self-blame made me more and more depressed, coupled with the growing discomfort in my body, I couldn't figure out how to fall asleep or pass out in the end.I just remember how long it had passed, around five or six o'clock, I vaguely heard the sound of birds chirping from outside the window, and the dim light hit my eyelids with a warm feeling.

At this time, someone opened the door, and the person brought a chilly wind as he walked, and it took me a lot of effort to barely open my eyes.

It's a doctor, followed by a nurse with a metal tray.

It's for a routine inspection.I closed my eyes again.

A pair of hands with plastic gloves rested on my forehead, and rolled my eyelids after a while.The nurse on the other side has already handed over the thermometer and stethoscope. After a lot of tossing, I finally became a little conscious again.

I thought to myself a little mockingly, but after two or three days, I seem to have gotten used to being tossed about, and I can fall asleep even when being moved by others.

"Over 39 degrees, the condition is getting worse." The doctor said in a low voice.

"Should I inject another protease inhibitor?" The nurse asked softly from the side.

"Let's lower the temperature first. Give him a cephalosporin injection first, and remember to get an ice pack to apply to his forehead later." The doctor shook his head and said disapprovingly, "I heard that his examination has not been completed yet. You should be more cautious, don't take medicine rashly, if the medicine is not right, the consequences will be more serious."

"Why hasn't the inspection been completed yet? There are still several patients waiting here..." The nurse's tone was full of worry, "Isn't this delaying the condition?"

"The laboratory department..." The doctor seemed to think of something terrible, his voice distorted, and he paused before continuing, "Some colleagues have died in the line of duty, and the emergency department is even more dangerous. It's starting to get completely out of control..."

The nurse was silent, and after a long while, she said awkwardly: "I heard from the head nurse that she will call us to help in the afternoon..."

"Oh." The doctor smiled wryly, "If you help, just help. Since you are wearing these clothes, these things must be done. We can't escape, and we can't escape."

The nurse bit her lip and didn't answer the doctor. She just stretched out her hand to tuck me in the quilt, raised my arm, and said softly, "Close your fists tightly."

In fact, I can't use any strength anymore, I can see people blurry, and even if I try my best to hold it, it is still soft.

The nurse tied my hand, patted the back of my hand, pushed the needle into the blood vessel, fixed my hand and put it aside. After all this was done, she softly answered what the doctor said just now: "I understand what you mean , I'm not afraid of anything happening to me, I'm afraid of... seeing family members in the hospital... have you heard? The five-year-old daughter of the head of pediatrics yesterday... no It's..."

The doctor didn't seem to know how to respond and could only remain silent.

The nurse's face twitched, and her emotions suddenly became agitated. She knelt heavily on the ground, covering her face and weeping: "I haven't been home for three months, I haven't been home for three months, I dare not go back, I won't Dare to go home..."

I panted lightly, looked at her, at this helpless mother like me.

Turns out they were too.

Finally, the doctor patted her on the shoulder and helped her up: "Let's go, wipe away the tears, it's time to go to the next patient."

The nurse stood up with her face down, and silently followed behind the doctor.

After a soft bang, the door closed quietly.

I coughed and turned over to see what time it was.

I groped around on the bed for a while and couldn't find it, so I gave up.He fell asleep on the bed after a while.

When I woke up, I thought I had slept for three hours at most, and my throat was so thirsty that it felt like a fire was burning. I staggered and poured water to drink, but saw darkness outside the window.I was wondering, it was clear that the sky was getting bright at the time, why is it getting dark again?

I unwrapped the package of plums in a daze and ate them, but when I had a fever, my whole tongue seemed to be broken, and I couldn’t even taste the plums. As I was eating, I felt how quiet the corridor was today. It was very strange, there was no metallic sound of nurses pushing carts past, and no whispered conversations.

The more I thought about it, the more ominous I felt. I shook the quilt and gasped for breath. Finally, I found the mobile phone that I left on the bed yesterday. After turning on the screen, I realized that it was already eight o'clock in the evening. sleep all day!

Looking again, there are still more than a dozen missed calls from Wei Heng, and three unopened text messages.

I was refreshed, wondering if I found Chi Qian?

I opened the first letter, and there was a short but thunderous sentence on it: "Ayan, I went to your parents' house just now, and there was no one there. I found out from the neighbor's house that your little nephew suddenly developed a high fever tonight, and sent it to the hospital in the afternoon. Emergency treatment at the hospital, due to large shadows on the chest X-ray, heart palpitations, and difficulty breathing, it was diagnosed as ** that night, and now your family is still accompanying you in the hospital."

Tremblingly, I opened the second letter: "The neighbor promised to take care of your niece Chen Tian and Chi Qian, but one inattentive, the two children sneaked out. The hospital is now closed to other people. I don't know the general situation. Situation, contact your second brother tonight, he said that Chen Tian has found his parents, and they are in the hospital together now. He said he will call you back when he is free."

The third letter only had one sentence: "There is no news about Chi Qian."
