"Missing?!" When the old lady heard that the child was lost, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. She threw away the fan in her hand, and staggered towards her son, "Why did you lose it? Where did you lose it?"

When she pounced on the man, she subconsciously pushed Xie Jin away in front of her. Xie Jin was defenseless, and his legs softened and hit the sharp corner of the shelf.

Although he knew that the old lady had no intention, Ji Duan still grimaced and clicked his tongue. He pulled Xie Jin to a long wooden stool beside him and sat down.

Lifting the opponent's trousers with his hands very naturally, Ji Duan looked at Xie Jin's knees, but fortunately, the joints were just a little red, and the skin was not scratched.

"Uncle Xie, let's go after buying the air conditioner." Ji Duan thoughtfully put down the trousers for Xie Jin, and the old lady beside him was already slumped on the ground and began to cry, the crying sound gave him a headache.

"But..." Xie Jin hesitated when he heard the old lady's cries. Although he didn't think he could help, but somehow he ran into her and ran away hastily, which seemed somewhat unreasonable.

Ji Duan stared at Xie Jin for a few seconds. He understood what Xie Jin was struggling with, and pulled the person closer to him. Because the crying was too loud, Ji Duan pressed against Xie Jin's ear and raised the volume. .

"The old lady lost her child, and this matter has nothing to do with you. It should be handed over to the police. If you have a specialization in art, you can rest assured and leave it to the police."

That's right, there are specialties in the arts, so what can he, a small ordinary person, do.

Xie Jin's gaze stayed on the grief-stricken face of the old lady, he pursed his lips, and finally nodded in agreement with Ji Duan's point of view.

"Then I'll go and tell the boss, don't worry about installing the air conditioner, let them hurry up and find the child."

Xie Jin approached amidst the old lady's long-pitched cry, and before he could say the words he was planning, the old lady in front of him suddenly let out a short scream, and then fell limply to the side.

"Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you!" The middle-aged man exclaimed in shock. His world was no different from collapsing at this moment. First, the child was lost. If there was any problem with the elderly mother, he would really go crazy.

"May I call an ambulance for you?" Xie Jin was so frightened that he stopped in his tracks. He froze on the spot, hesitating whether to go forward, his face full of anxiety like a man's.

"Ambulance! Can you call an ambulance for me? Please!! Please!" The middle-aged man begged in embarrassment, "Please, help my mother..."

Xie Jin didn't hesitate any longer, he decisively took out his mobile phone and made an emergency call, hurriedly looked at Ji Duan standing behind him, and seeing that the other party didn't show any objection, he tried to communicate with the man who was emotionally broken.

"Brother, big brother, put your mother down first, don't worry about holding her, it's easy to have difficulty breathing." Xie Jin put a cool hand on the man's shoulder, his words calmed down the man who was at a loss.

The man nodded, and put the old lady flat on the floor tiles as Xie Jin said. He looked at the young man in front of him dully, thinking it was his own life-saving straw, and desperately grabbed the hem of his mother's clothes and refused to let go.

Xie Jin was a little awkward, but he was too embarrassed to let the man let go, so he could only endure the discomfort and tremblingly feel the old lady's pulse.

When the team was still there in the early years, Xie Jin had a certain knowledge of first aid because of the need to explore outside all year round. Cold fingers caressed the old lady's neck, and her pulse was gradually weakening.

"Brother, did your mother have any medical history before?" Xie Jin was a little anxious, he broke free from the man's hand, and lay on the old lady's chest, listening to the slow and heavy heartbeat.

"My mother has heart disease, and she has been in poor health these days." The middle-aged man's voice was choked up. He watched the young man in front of him change his initial shyness and start performing CPR on his mother. a sour.

At the same time, Ji Duan also changed. He couldn't help, so he could only pick up Xie Jin's mobile phone and call 120 when no one was paying attention.

He stood aside and watched Xie Jin busy, but this time he discovered a different side of Xie Jin, which was an urgent desire for life.

To have such feelings towards a stranger, he suddenly discovered that something had changed in Xie Jin's body unconsciously.

The ambulance arrived half an hour later. The old lady was carried into the car on a stretcher by the medical staff and replaced with an oxygen machine. The old lady's son, that is, the middle-aged man named Zai Min, expressed his gratitude to Xie Jin , Said that he will come to the door to thank him some other day.

But Xie Jin, who has always been not good at words and even a little afraid of strangers, offered to accompany the man to the hospital.

Although the man felt strange, Xie Jin was a kind person who helped his mother after all, so he didn't say much, and let Xie Jin and Ji, who was invisible to others, get into the ambulance.

After arriving at the hospital, the old lady was pushed into the operating room by the medical staff for rescue. Xie Jin led Ji Duan to follow the middle-aged man to go through a series of payment procedures.

It was already an hour later when really sat down. The middle-aged man was holding a stack of bills in his hand, staring dully at the three big characters of "First Aid" flashing red light.

"Brother, don't worry too much, your mother will be fine..." Xie Jin didn't know how to comfort the man, so he could only hand him a bottle of water and said softly.

The man regained his composure, took a sip of the water, and then gave Xie Jin a grateful look: "Thank you, brother, there have been accidents at my house these past few days. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't know What should I do..."

Thinking of his lost son, he became depressed again. The middle-aged man rubbed his face with his big callused rough hands, covering his tears with his big hands. He bit down all the hardships and sorrows and went straight to his stomach. Riton.

Patients and medical staff passed by from time to time in the corridor of the hospital, and they had no time to take care of this down-and-out man. Only Xie Jin sat beside him silently, watching the man's slightly trembling shoulders without making any sound.

Xie Jin can understand the delicate mood of the man at this time. Everyone has their own bottom line in their hearts. One day, the last bottom line collapses, and they lose everything and fall into despair. Xie Jin is very clear about that feeling.

A long time passed, and the man was trying his best to control his collapsed emotions. After Xie Jin saw that the man's condition had stabilized a little, he continued to ask: "Brother, your son...can you tell me what happened specifically?" ?”

The man nodded, his red and swollen eyes were lowered, and his voice was a little hoarse: "My family's conditions are not very good. After the child was one year old, his mother ran away with others, and Xin Xin followed me...he was my help." Raised by shit."

"You also know that my family makes second-hand electrical appliances, and I need to come to install them. Xin Xin usually doesn't want to stay in the shop with grandma. When he grows up, he always goes out to work with me."

The man choked up again when he said this, his rough face was covered with tears, "I think it's not good to bring the child to work, every time I let him sit in my car and wait, but I didn't expect... I didn't Think of it!"

His face is full of self-blame. His son and his mother are the only motivations for his life, so no matter how hard and tiring life is, he has no regrets when he is with his family, but now the child is lost.

Just as he scolded himself with tears in his eyes, the door of the emergency room was pushed open, and a medical staff in surgical gowns held a page of agreement and looked over here: "Which of you is a family member?"

"I am, I am!" The man didn't even bother to wipe his tears, he rushed to the medical staff and grabbed their sleeves, "Doctor, how is my mother? Is she okay?"

"The patient's coronary artery is severely stenotic and needs heart bypass surgery. This is a critical illness notice. Please sign it here after the family members confirm it."

The medical staff had masks on their faces, and they were particularly ruthless because they couldn't see their faces. She handed the notice together with the agreement to the man.

The man was still a little dazed. He looked at the critical illness notice in his hand and the astronomical figures on another page in disbelief, and he froze in place.

"Family? The patient's family?"

It was the call of the medical staff that brought his thoughts back to reality. The man looked blankly at the masked face of the other party, and it took him a long time to understand what he was talking about.

"The hospital has a rule that emergency surgery gives priority to rescuing patients. You can pay the fee later. If there is no problem, please sign here. Time waits for no one. The surgeon is still waiting."

Xie Jin watched from the side as the man signed in a daze, and then fell down on the cold iron chair. He just glanced at the operation fee, and it was an astronomical figure for both him and the man.

"80,000 yuan..." the man murmured, holding his head and shrunk himself into a ball, "80,000 yuan, what do I have to pay back?"

Xin Xin hasn't found it yet, and the store at home cannot be sold. With only the meager income and savings, the man knows that he can't afford his mother's surgery fee.

Thinking that the situation of his friends around him was no different from his own, the man became completely depressed. He looked up at the cold incandescent lamp in the corridor, and suddenly wanted to take a puff of cigarette.

He was a senior smoker in the early years. Later, when his son was born and his wife ran away, he quit smoking and left the extra expenses, desperately earning money for this crumbling family.

Business has been difficult in recent years, especially his family's business of recycling second-hand electrical appliances. The hard work they usually put in is completely inversely proportional to their income...

The man stared blankly at the ceiling, he didn't know how many times warm liquid flowed out of his dry eyes today, he finally couldn't restrain himself, and burst into tears in the hospital corridor.

The abnormal noise attracted the attention of passing patients and doctors and nurses. The crying sound was not pleasant, let alone a man crying bitterly.

More and more people looked at this side, but the man didn't seem to feel those malicious or concerned gazes. He was just immersed in the edge of his own collapse, and spoke out loudly the voice suppressed in his heart.

Finally, some medical staff came forward to ask, Xie Jin hurriedly explained that the man was his friend, and he would be responsible for stabilizing the man's emotions. After some stumbling explanations, he managed to persuade the onlookers to leave.

"What should I do now..." Xie Jin looked at Ji Duan as if asking for help. He didn't know how to comfort the man, so he could only keep patting the man on the back.

Ji Duan had no choice. He scratched his hair a little irritably. In the only memories he had left, it seemed that he had never bothered about money.

...didn't care about money?

A figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and Ji Duan's expression became a little weird. He said to Xie Jin, "Uncle Xie, call Wen Liang and see if he can help."

Uncle is so miserable, a man, double twelve, have you cut your hands?
