Chapter 102

Although what Weisheng said made sense, Aunt Pang still wanted to take the midnight bus to Shangning City. Even if she couldn't see Pang Sihai immediately, she could arrive in Shangning City earlier and feel more at ease.

Weisheng couldn't persuade him further. After all, they didn't know the extent of Pang Sihai's injuries. If he was seriously injured, they might not even be able to see him one last time if they arrived too late. In that case, her kindness would be in vain.

Since they had decided to take the midnight train, Weisheng asked Pang Shanchuan to buy the ticket and asked Pang Ganma to look after the luggage while she went to the guesthouse outside the train station.

I found the staff inside and discussed the issue of temporary housing.

There are no hourly rooms available at this time, but half-day rooms are available in special circumstances.

Weisheng used the letter of introduction issued by the village to book a half-day room. Because men and women had to live together, Weisheng gave the staff two kilograms of national food coupons.

The staff member also understood the situation and directly opened a triple room with a private bathroom for them.

After getting the key and checking the room again, Weisheng returned to the train station.

It wasn't even noon yet, and the train was at 10:30 PM. According to Weisheng's plan, they would stay at the guesthouse until 4:00 AM the next morning, then check out and head to the train station to catch the 5:00 AM train to Shangning.

No one suffered and nothing was delayed, but the old lady just didn't agree.

Alas~

I went to the train station to pick up the mother and daughter and brought them to the guesthouse. Afterwards, I didn't go out for dinner, but took out all the food they brought.

Weisheng cooked a dozen tea eggs, and Aunt Pang cooked six chicken eggs, six salted duck eggs, and also baked a few pancakes.

Aunt Pang said that tea eggs have a salty taste and can be kept for a long time, so the three of them ate the boiled eggs she brought. Then Weisheng took out all the sauces she brought and put some sauce into two seasoning dishes she brought with her. After that, he put them back into the basket.

Eat sweet potato buns and pancakes with sauce, drink some hot water, and you've completed your meal.

After the meal, Weisheng cleaned up the food quickly and then chose a single bed by the window to sit on.

Aunt Pang slept on the middle bed, so Pang Shanchuan chose the bed near the door.

Pang Shanchuan didn't sleep well last night, and now that he was full and satisfied, he felt sleepy.

Weisheng was fine. Although she'd gotten up early, she'd gotten some sleep on the bus. She wasn't exactly sleepy, but she felt a bit lethargic. So she pulled a copy of "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talent" from her backpack and flipped through it, lying on the bed.

This book "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents" is of great value. Its content includes military affairs, agriculture, cooking, industry and commerce, accounting, handicrafts, etc., and it covers a very comprehensive range.

Aunt Pang, who had been sleeping all the way, was the most energetic at this moment. Looking at her eldest son who was already asleep on the left, and her goddaughter who was reading a book on the right, Aunt Pang felt upset and bored. She wanted to do something, but felt that she couldn't concentrate on anything.

After Aunt Pang lay down and sat up, and then lay down and sat up again two or three times, Weisheng stood up with a smile, first fed himself a brain-stimulating pill, then took a small piece of "sedative incense" from his bag. He lit it in front of the old lady, then pulled her back down and used massage techniques to coax her to sleep.

By the time the "calming incense" was finished, Aunt Pang and Pang Shanchuan were already fast asleep, not knowing what day it was.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were asleep, Weisheng returned to the space. When he came out again, it was already 8:30 in the evening.

He woke up both the mother and the son, and urged them to wash up, and then have a late dinner.

The waiting room wasn't very large at that time, and the guesthouse was only five minutes away. However, the train had to check in ten minutes early, so when it was almost ten o'clock, Weisheng and the other two took turns using the restroom before packing their bags and going to the front desk to check out.

…

At one o'clock in the morning, they arrived in Shangning City.

It was pitch black outside the train station, and there were not many people at the exit.

It was their first time traveling far away, and they got off the train in the middle of the night, so both mother and son were a little nervous.

Weisheng sighed and took them to the bus stop. He found out that the bus was leaving at 5:00 a.m. Then he asked how to get to Shangning City Hospital and which bus to take.

After finding out all this, Weisheng asked Aunt Pang whether she wanted to wait for the bus at the train station or find a way to go to the city hospital.

Aunt Pang hesitated for a moment, but finally expressed her desire to go to the hospital as soon as possible. "Shangning City is so big, but we can always get to the city hospital before dawn, right?"

I'm really scared of you!

Weisheng was complaining in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just asked Pang Ganma and Pang Shanchuan to wait here for a while while she thought of a solution.

Half an hour later, Weisheng came back on a tricycle.

Both Pang Ganma and Pang Shanchuan were a little surprised, but Weisheng let them get in the car first without explaining anything.

After the people and luggage were on board, the tricycle driver began to carry them towards the city hospital.

Many trains have freight cars. Shangning City is the provincial capital, so letters and parcels sent to and from other provinces often transit through Shangning City. Weisheng had just visited the area of ​​the train station responsible for receiving goods.

Afterwards, they found a tricycle driver and paid five dollars to have him take them to the city hospital.

It's one or two o'clock in the morning, when there's nothing to do. If you can earn five dollars, this job is worth considering.

The master slowed down after riding for more than twenty minutes, so Weisheng ordered Pang Shanchuan to take turns with the master.

They rode for more than fifty minutes in total before the three of them got off at the entrance of the city hospital.

Weisheng paid the money, and the three of them picked up their luggage and went to the hospital duty room to inquire about the situation in the inpatient department. They heard that visiting was only allowed at five in the morning, so Weisheng and the other two waited outside the inpatient department.

Seeing that it was only around three o'clock, Weisheng figured they couldn't leave right away. If they were staying at the guesthouse, they should have booked a room long ago to save themselves from sitting around like an idiot.

So Weisheng suggested finding a guesthouse nearby first, putting down the things they brought and then coming back.

Pang Ganma and Pang Shanchuan brought a lot of things, some for themselves, some for Pang Sihai, and some for the journey. To save time, they put all these things in two large backpacks and a medium-sized basket.

Compared to the mother and the other two, Weisheng didn't have much: a cloth schoolbag slung across his body, a backpack on his back, and a small basket for food that he either carried or slung over his arm.

Weisheng didn’t know how big the ward Pang Sihai was in, and whether it would be inconvenient to bring these things into the hospital to visit the patient.

Another thing is that even if we don’t know whether the hospital has any strict requirements on the number of bedside companions, it is absolutely impossible to let all three of them stay in the ward.

Now is the coldest season here. If they don’t arrange a warm place to stay in advance... the other two might get sick with the cold before Pang Sihai is discharged from the hospital.

Weisheng: "...I think living in a guesthouse is not a long-term solution. Let's first see how Fourth Brother is doing. If we need to stay in Shangning for a few more days, it would be more convenient to rent a house."

Aunt Pang and Pang Shanchuan had no idea what to do, so they just followed Weisheng's instructions.

So Weisheng went to the guesthouse not far from the hospital and booked a room for three people again...

As soon as five o'clock in the morning arrived, Weisheng followed Aunt Pang and Pang Shanchuan into the inpatient department with just a small schoolbag slung over his shoulder.

Because the telegram didn't say anything, after entering the inpatient department, they first went to inquire which department and ward Pang Sihai was in.

Fortunately, the nurse was not busy at five in the morning, and it didn't take long for them to get Pang Sihai's hospitalization information.

Abdominal stab wound, general surgery ward, room 303.

When Pang Ganma heard that Pang Sihai was stabbed, her legs went limp and she sat on the ground.

Seeing this, Weisheng and Pang Shanchuan hurriedly helped the man up. Just when he was about to say something, Pang Ganma suddenly showed some strength, shook off Weisheng and Pang Shanchuan, and ran towards the stairs.

He climbed up to the third floor in one breath without any weakness in his legs or breathlessness, which made Weisheng amazed.

The ward was still quiet at this time. Wei was afraid that Aunt Pang would cry and yell at the top of her voice like she did in the village, so he stopped her before she pushed open the door of Room 303.

He quietly reminded her to keep her voice down and not to cry or yell. After thinking for a moment, Weisheng reminded her again: "If you speak too loudly, you will be kicked out."

Aunt Pang, who had already prepared her roar and cries, said: "..."

Weisheng left Aunt Pang at the door to calm herself down, and then he pushed the door open and walked in first.

The ward was large, with eight beds, all of which were occupied. Weisheng's gaze swept from left to right, and he saw Pang Sihai leaning against the headboard under the window.

Pang Sihai had woken up long ago. Because his bed was next to the window, he would spend his time looking out the window every day. When he heard the sound of the ward door being pushed open, he turned his head subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, I saw his little sister.

Just as he was about to call for help, he pulled the wound, and the next second his little sister also saw him.

Weisheng quickly walked over to Pang Sihai and looked him up and down. He reached out to feel his pulse and asked, "Fourth Brother, are you okay?"

"Why are you here?"

"After receiving a telegram at home, my eldest brother sent me and mom here." After Weisheng said this, Aunt Pang and Pang Shanchuan also entered the ward.

As soon as she saw her son, Pang Ganma burst into tears, wiping her tears with one hand and covering her mouth tightly with the other.

If Weisheng had not specifically reminded her before, Pang Erma would have burst into tears the moment she saw Pang Sihai's pale face.

Pang Sihai, who was originally just a little bit fragile, felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw his mother crying in such a suppressed way, and his eyes instantly turned red.

When Pang Shanchuan saw his mother and brother like this, he turned his back and wiped away a few tears before turning back.

Weisheng, who couldn’t cry at all: …Is it because I’m not your biological child?

←_←

After taking Pang Sihai's pulse, Weisheng asked him to lie down again, then naturally lifted up his hospital gown and pulled his pants down.

When Pang Sihai was extremely embarrassed, Weisheng used the tools he brought to heal Pang Sihai's wounds.

He personally checked the size and depth of the wound, then re-bandaged it with the medicine and gauze he brought.

After doing all this, Weisheng also helped Pang Sihai tidy up the hem of his clothes and pants.

Pang Sihai: “…”

Ignoring Pang Sihai, Weisheng said to Pang Ganma: "The wound is very deep..."

The wound is on the left abdomen. Judging from the depth and the angle of the puncture, it may leave sequelae.

In addition to the external injuries, the pulse can also show that Pang Sihai lost a lot of blood when he was injured and now needs to be nourished.

"Fourth brother, do you have a headache?"

"Head?" Pang Sihai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "My whole body hurts."

Weisheng frowned and asked him again, "Have you had a head check since you were admitted to the hospital?"

Pang Sihai couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard Weisheng say this, "No, what's wrong?"

"I just took your pulse... I think there's some blood clots on your head. Let's take an X-ray later."

Pang Sihai: “…Yeah.”

Pang Ganma was worried and asked Weisheng hurriedly, "Is it serious? Is there anything wrong?"

Weisheng was about to tell the truth when Pang Sihai on the side responded first: "I'm already in the hospital, what could be the problem? Mom, you haven't told me why you got here? Why are you here so early?"

Since coming to Shangning to study in the spring of 1973, Pang Sihai would return to the village every winter and summer vacation. However, Pang Sihai always traveled by car, so he really didn't know what time the train would arrive in Shangning.

He graduated in his seventh year this year and was just trying to figure out how to stay in the city when the opportunity arose. Although he was badly injured, at least he achieved his goal.
