Chapter 115 Sleeping Together
Qin Yi, who was standing by, calmly pulled him back onto the pillow, then left without saying a word.
But there was an obvious smile on his face.
This Ma Liu usually acted like a big boss in front of the nurses, and even when explaining things to the police, he still had a bit of a gangster attitude...
But when he saw Su Tong, he became furious and completely disregarded his image and face.
Ma Liu lay on the hospital bed in despair. For the first time in his life, he felt remorse for the crime he had committed... If he had not embarked on the road of crime, he would not have met such a horrible woman.
When Qin Yi went out, Su Tong was waiting for him at the corner of the stairs at the other end of the corridor.
He walked over, thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Can you check the blood circulation by pricking your toes?"
"cannot!"
Su Tong also answered seriously:
"I just wanted to let him bleed!"
Even though Qin Yi was habitually serious, he couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder Ma Liu is like a mouse seeing a cat every time he sees you! Your skill in playing tricks on people is amazing!"
Su Tong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although the two men tried to lower their voices, their laughter still traveled far in the quiet night, attracting the attention of the plainclothes officers in front of Ma Liu's ward.
After laughing for a while, Su Tong continued:
"Ma Liu's condition is not normal. I want to see his attending physician tomorrow."
The wind in the corridor was very strong, making people shiver.
When Qin Yi saw her face wrapped in the scarf and still covered in bruises, he began to feel guilty again.
He joined the army when he was a teenager, and has been fighting hard until now, relying on his own strength. He always holds his soldiers to higher standards and is even stricter on himself.
Although this little girl is not one of his soldiers, she is no less capable than any of the soldiers around him. She is sharp, determined, and full of fighting spirit, and she has a spirit of decisiveness that is just as strong as theirs.
As a result, he had this kind of guilt and intolerance more than once during the journey, wondering if he shouldn't have traveled such a long distance to bring her here...
But if I don't bring her along, she'll be unhappy again.
Qin Yi sighed slightly in his heart, turned around and said to Su Tong:
"We'll talk about Ma Liu tomorrow. Let's go find a guesthouse first! You'll have more energy tomorrow after a good rest!"
Su Tong nodded, and when she was about to go downstairs, she pointed to the ward next to her and said:
"I see there are still a lot of empty wards here. Can we talk to the hospital and sleep in the ward for one night? It saves us from running back and forth."
Qin Yi looked to the side and said, "The conditions in the ward may not be as good as those in the guesthouse. Are you used to it?"
"This condition is already pretty good! It doesn't matter where you sleep!"
Su Tong thought to himself that in the past, people could sleep whenever they wanted in the wilderness on the battlefield, let alone here with a bed and a quilt.
Qin Yi didn't care about these things. Seeing that Su Tong had no objection, he asked her to wait here. He went to say hello to the on-duty leader of the hospital, and then bought some toiletries at the supply and marketing cooperative at the door. After they packed up a little, they found an empty ward and went to sleep.
When the doctor on duty received the notification and rushed over with a young nurse carrying specially prepared bedding and water bottles, he found that the two comrades from "above" had already fallen asleep.
The two hesitated for a while at the door of the ward, but decided not to wake them up, so they left quietly.
The young nurse just muttered, "There are several empty wards. There's no need for them to squeeze into one!"
The doctor turned around and glared at her:
"Just do your own thing and don't worry about it."
Qin Yi and Su Tong each had a bed in the ward. They were both dressed and fell asleep quickly.
One of them thought that the simpler it was, the easier it would be, while the other thought that the closer they lived, the more convenient it would be to get things done. They both regarded the other as a comrade-in-arms carrying out the mission together.
Just like the countless times he slept on the ground with his comrades during missions, his mind was focused on the mission and time, and he was so open-minded that he had no other thoughts at all.
Whether to avoid suspicion or not... No one thinks about it or cares about it.
When Su Tong opened her eyes the next day, Qin Yi was no longer in the room. When she came back after washing up, she found that Qin Yi had already placed the breakfast he bought on the small table.
The two of them quickly and quietly finished their breakfast and prepared to go to the doctor's office.
But they got up too early and the doctor had not yet arrived for work, so the two of them had to wander around the flower bed downstairs.
Next to the inpatient department is the hospital cafeteria. Two staff members wearing white hats were pushing a tricycle one after the other to deliver meals to the inpatient department.
There were several large baskets in the truck bed piled high with multi-grain steamed buns and flower rolls, steaming. Next to them were several large enamel buckets that should be filled with side dishes such as porridge, also covered with enamel lids.
The hospital was paved with gravel roads, which were perhaps not very flat. When the tricycle was pushed past Su Tong, it bumped a bit, and the lid of a bucket slipped off with a "clang", and a stream of hot steam mixed with spicy and sour smells came out.
The staff at the back quickly picked up the lid, put it back on while complaining about the broken road, and didn't care whether there was dust on the lid.
Su Tong smelled the smell and felt it was a bit pungent. He turned around and asked Qin Yi:
"What's in this?"
Before Qin Yi opened his mouth, he heard someone behind him answer:
"It's hot and sour soup, which is unique to our Yuzhou. It's sour and spicy. It's eaten with steamed buns in the morning. It's warm and goes well with rice."
The two turned around and saw that it was the doctor who was on duty last night. He was holding a lunch box with two cornmeal buns on it and was walking towards them with a smile on his face.
"Have you two had breakfast? Do you want to go to the cafeteria and try this hot and sour soup? It's hard to get used to it at first, but once you get used to it, you can't stop drinking it. Just look at the special patient you saw, who is paralyzed in a wheelchair and still drinks a bowl of it every day."
The doctor was very enthusiastic and took out meal tickets from his pocket as he spoke.
"Come on! Just use my meal ticket to fight! Otherwise you have to exchange tickets, which is too troublesome."
Qin Yi hurriedly held his hand and said:
"Thank you! We've already eaten!"
Su Tong sniffed. The smell just now still felt irritating. Most people probably couldn't accept this soup.
The doctor pushed for a while, and seeing that they really had no intention of going to the cafeteria, he stuffed the meal ticket back into his pocket and said:
"Oh! You two are waiting for Dr. Li, the attending physician of 'that person'. Dr. Li is here. I saw him when I went downstairs just now."
Qin Yi nodded and thanked him. The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while before finally waving goodbye to the enthusiastic doctor. Then the two turned around and went back to the doctor's office.
