Without thinking, he ran over and asked with concern, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"I..." The old man clutched his ankle, his face turning blue, unable to utter a complete sentence: "It hurts... my foot... it hurts."
Ye Beiping glanced at the hospital gate, then rushed over without saying a word and shouted, "Doctor, doctor, come quick, doctor!"
Hearing the shouts, the doctor ran out: "What's wrong?"
"At the entrance," Ye Beiping said, panting heavily. "There's an old man at the entrance who might have hurt his ankle. Hurry...hurry up."
Upon hearing this, the doctor called two people and ran out with Ye Beiping.
After examining the elderly man, the doctor said, "It might be a fracture. Take him to the hospital immediately."
Ye Beiping also helped the doctors and nurses carry the elderly man into the hospital.
After escorting the elderly man into the consultation room, Ye Beiping prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the nurse stopped him and said, "Hey, you should go pay the bill right away."
"I......"
Ye Beiping looked at the nurse who had already run away and scratched his head: "Why should I, a kind person, pay any fees? I don't even know his name. Are you kidding me?"
He said that, but he wasn't in a hurry to leave.
I just sat quietly outside the consultation room and waited.
More than half an hour later, the elderly man was wheeled out. The doctor told Ye Beiping, "We used local anesthesia. It is indeed a bone fracture. He needs to rest well..."
"Wait, wait." Ye Beiping became more and more confused as he listened, and immediately explained, "I don't know that doctor, there's no point in telling me all this."
"What?" The doctor was also completely bewildered.
Ye Beiping could only explain the whole story before saying, "I just saw him fall to the ground, so I helped call a doctor. How about we wait for his family to arrive before we talk about it?"
"Okay, that's the only way."
The doctor glanced at Ye Beiping's clothes and knew that he was from the countryside and just a kind-hearted person who probably didn't have money to pay the fees.
"But you need to stay here with him for now. We're all very busy. Can you stay here and ask him for his family's contact information when he wakes up?"
"Well..." Ye Beiping thought for a moment and figured he had nothing else to do, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.
The old man was sent to the observation room, and Ye Beiping could only lie bored on another bed in the observation room, staring at the ceiling to rest.
About ten minutes later, the old man woke up and coughed twice: "Cough cough, water... water."
Ye Beiping immediately got up and poured a glass of water for the old man.
He casually asked, "Grandpa, do you have your family's contact information? The doctor said you have a fracture and need to rest. I've been here with you for an hour now, so could you please contact your family to come over? I still have farm work to do back in the countryside."
In order to get the elderly man to contact his family as soon as possible, Ye Beiping had no choice but to tell one lie after another.
Unexpectedly, the old man glared at Ye Beiping and said, "You're so young and you're already learning bad habits. I'm not senile yet. At most fifty minutes have passed since you brought me in. I've been watching my watch."
As he spoke, he actually showed off his wrist.
Ye Beiping was instantly embarrassed and forced an explanation: "Fifty minutes rounded up is an hour, isn't it?"
"snort."
The old man snorted coldly and said, "I have no family, I'm all alone."
"This..." Ye Beiping realized that the old man in front of him was definitely a difficult character to deal with.
The two remained locked in this stalemate for more than ten minutes before Ye Beiping finally gave in: "Old man, it's been an hour now, hasn't it?"
The old man glanced at Ye Beiping but didn't say anything.
He was like a mischievous old man, pouting.
Ye Beiping thought to himself: Well, he's just like my grandfather, a mischievous old man, I have to coax him.
What can we do if we don't comfort him? He can't just leave an elderly person in the hospital.
"Grandpa, how about this? I'll play a game with you. If I win, you can contact your family to come over. If I lose, I'll stay here with you for the whole day, okay?"
"Really?" The old man raised an eyebrow when he heard about playing games.
"real."
Looking at the old man, Ye Beiping sighed inwardly more than once.
Are the elderly really that difficult to deal with these days?
I really admire how the caregivers in nursing homes decades later manage to soothe the elderly.
"Okay, what game did you say?"
Ye Beiping thought for a moment and said, "You draw, I guess. I'll draw something and write the answer on the back. If you guess correctly, I'll stay with you for a day. If you guess wrong, tell me your family's contact information. You only have three chances."
"Alright, alright, let's play this game then." The old man immediately became happy, then thought for a moment and said, "What if your drawing doesn't look like it? How about I draw it and you guess?"
Hey!
A reborn person, with extensive experience and knowledge, would be afraid of this?
Ye Beiping agreed without hesitation and even asked the nurse for paper and pen.
