It was four forty in the morning.
In the on-call room.
Nurse Wang Jia, Chief Resident Yu Yuan, and houseman Ma Yanlin, who had just finished his marriage leave, sat in front of an alcohol stove. They stared at the Zhoushan salted fish cooked with pork glutinous rice balls, and their eyes were a little dazed.
Ma Yanlin was tired.
Marriage was a hard thing, and life after marriage … was even harder.
Ma Yanlin stared at the fresh meat glutinous rice balls with listless eyes. His mind was blank, and only when he twitched did his hands subconsciously scratch a few times.
Yu Yuan and Wang Jia stared blankly at the salted fish cooked with pork glutinous rice balls.
Especially Yu Yuan, who had been hungry for a whole night, she said indignantly, "I think that fresh meat glutinous rice balls can be eaten, but what's the purpose of cooking salted fish? Are you afraid that the soup will be too delicious? "
"At least it's salty. It's better than sweet soup and salty glutinous rice balls, right?" Wang Jia looked at the glutinous rice balls that were spinning in circles, and her appetite kept increasing. But when she smelled the salted fish in the soup, her appetite kept decreasing.
"You can eat now," Ma Yanlin suddenly said. His whole body seemed to be shining, and he encouraged himself, "Eat until you're full, then work harder. Ten bowls of rice, one drop of blood!"
As he spoke, Ma Yanlin picked up a piece of salted fish and started chewing.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly, poor child. Is it because you're married that you don't have to cook at home anymore, or is there something going on?" Yu Yuan watched Ma Yanlin eat, and she suddenly felt less hungry.
Ma Yanlin mumbled and said, "I don't have time to eat. It's either cold steamed buns or soaked noodles."
"So bad? What are you doing after marriage? "Yu Yuan was extremely shocked.
Ma Yanlin swallowed the crispy and soft fish bone in his mouth, stared at Yu Yuan, and said, "What do you think?"
Yu Yuan thought for a while and suddenly understood. "I was wondering …"
"Yeah."
"We removed a patient's testicles yesterday." Yu Yuan happily changed the topic. "The reason is … Guess what?"
Ma Yanlin's body tensed up, and he silently put down his chopsticks.
"It's because his wife can dance … Hahahaha …" Yu Yuan laughed three times.
Hahahahaha …
Laughter also came from the end of the corridor.
After layers of absorption, the laughter became soft, stiff, and distant.
Wang Jia obviously shrank her shoulders. "It's the echo, right? The echo is so far away? "
"How can there be such a slow echo?" Yu Yuan's expression became serious. She lowered her head to look at the time and said, "It's four forty-four in the morning."
"Forty-four … points?" Wang Jia repeated and whispered, "What a coincidence. Forty … Alibaba and the Forty Thieves?"
"Are the four extra bandits dead?" Ma Yanlin smiled and stood up. He wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go take a look. It's not like there's no one in the ward. Even if …"
"Hahahaha …" The woman's laughter flew out from the even more ethereal air.
Haha …
Hahaha …
Ma Yanlin's expression changed slightly and he stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yuan asked.
"We, the people by the sea, are a little particular sometimes. Usually, when this kind of thing happens, it's not suitable for a newly married man like me to show up." Ma Yanlin chuckled and returned to the alcohol stove. He scooped a bowl of soup and sipped on it to warm himself.
Wang Jia asked, "Why? Is it because you don't have enough Yang energy? "
"Because it's too cruel to die right after getting married," Ma Yanlin raised his head and said. He then sipped on the soup again.
Yu Yuan also became silent. After a while, she said, "It's a pity that I don't have black donkey dung with me."
Ma Yanlin, who was drinking the soup, could not help but put down the bowl in his hand. "Most people use black donkey hooves."
"That's just a rumor. It's only because black donkey hooves are stained with black donkey dung that people say that black donkey hooves can ward off evil spirits," Yu Yuan said solemnly. Yu Yuan said solemnly, "I've studied the history of this, and I think that the earliest thing that was used was black donkey dung."
"I don't believe it. If black donkey dung is useful, who would use black donkey hooves? Aren't they afraid of spending money?"
"Of course, the people who are invited to perform the ritual are not afraid. If they want to use black donkey hooves, you have to kill the donkey. After killing the donkey, don't tell me that you don't want to give them meat? " Yu Yuan looked at the depths of the hospital's corridor with an expression as if she had seen through everything and said, "It's the same with black dog's blood."
Ma Yanlin was stunned when he heard that. "You've really studied it."
"Yes."
"Then, what's the best strategy to deal with this kind of thing?"
"Oh … Just hide." Yu Yuan shrank back to the stove and said, "In horror movies, the ones who die the most are those who are curious."
* Bang. *
As soon as Yu Yuan finished speaking, someone knocked on the door hard.
A young nurse rushed in excitedly. "The patient is awake."
"What?" Ma Yanlin raised his head, and his face was pale.
The young nurse despised his expression. She looked away and said, "Doctor Ling performed the surgery yesterday. The husband of the couple from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is awake now. By the way … Is Doctor Ling not here yet? "
"Doctor Ling will be here soon," Yu Yuan explained and asked, "It's fine if the patient is awake, but why is it so noisy?"
"It's probably because the patient's family is all doctors, and they think it's an unexpected surprise." The young nurse recalled for a while and was full of excitement. She said, "When I heard them talking, I felt very depressed. They all said that they were going to die and that they felt that they would not wake up. They were afraid that the sequelae would be too severe. I didn't expect that he would wake up in less than twenty-four hours, and his data is very good … The doctor in the ICU said that he can be transferred to a normal ward in two more days."
Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Where are the patient's family members laughing?"
"They're sitting in the meeting room," the young nurse said softly. "Chief Physician Tao opened the door for them."
Yu Yuan was surprised. "Chief Physician Tao hasn't gone back to sleep yet?"
"He just came. I heard that Chief Physician Tao often sleeps on the sofa and buys breakfast for his wife before dawn. Sometimes, to sleep on the bed, after watching the news broadcast, he quickly runs to sleep. The next day, he can't sleep anymore at three or four o 'clock in the morning, so he comes to the hospital …" The young nurse casually gossiped.
Wang Jia's eyes lit up when she heard it. "Chief Physician Tao has such a dark history?"
"What dark history? This is something that is happening now. So, it's not strange for Chief Physician Tao to come to work this morning. "
"If that's the case, Chief Physician Tao woke up at about the same time as us." Ma Yanlin thought about it, and he was in a good mood.
Yu Yuan had been in the office for the longest time. She laughed when she heard it. "Don't spread rumors. Chief Physician Tao goes home by bike at night. He's still on the road when the news broadcast comes."
"If that's the case … then he doesn't buy breakfast for his wife?"
Ling Ran said with certainty, "Of course not. When Chief Physician Tao wakes up, the breakfast shop is not open. He usually starts to make breakfast for his wife at three or four o 'clock in the morning. He steams buns, cooks tofu pudding, and so on … "
"Makes his own tofu pudding?"
"Yes. Chief Physician Tao's hands are very dexterous. When he was young, he performed emergency appendectomy. At that time, there were many emergency appendectomies in our hospital, and Chief Physician Tao could finish one case in 15 minutes. "
Ma Yanlin was fascinated by what he heard. He sighed and said, "I don't know when I can reach Chief Physician Tao's level."
"Soon." Yu Yuan smiled, and her expression changed. "Doctor Ling."
"Doctor Ling?" The young nurse, who had her back to the door, almost jumped up.
Wang Jia also lowered her head. She adjusted her hat before she showed her best smile and faced the door.
Ling Ran nodded at them and asked, "Did something happen?"
"The patient is awake." The young nurse rushed to repeat the information she said before.
"It's good that he's awake." Ling Ran smiled and said, "Then, let's go for a ward round."
"Doctor Ling." Yu Yuan quickly stopped him and said, "Let's go to the meeting room to take a look."
Yu Yuan was full of responsibility at this moment.
Doctors, patients, and their family members were considered to be second only to teachers, patients, and their family members.
The family of a professor from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was, of course, the best of the best.
Even if it was past four o 'clock in the morning, Yu Yuan still felt that she should not be negligent.
Ling Ran did not care and said, "Then, let's go to the meeting room first."
As he spoke, he took a new white coat and took the lead to turn and go out.
The long laughter in the corridor was even more terrifying.
In particular, the laughter was not continuous. Instead, after a while, there was a burst of laughter, and after a while, there was another wave of laughter.
At this time, there were already more than twenty people in the small meeting room.
The patient's family members and friends were chatting happily.
"Chief Physician Tao." Yu Yuan greeted and gave up her position to Ling Ran.
"Ling Ran?" Chief Physician Tao showed a surprised smile, and he laughed even more confidently. "Everyone, this is our chief surgeon, Doctor Ling Ran. Doctor Ling makes ward rounds at dawn every day, and it's very tiring. "
