In the silent place

Chapter 65 Silent is better than sound

Leaving the airport at ten o'clock in the morning, Jiang Ping took a taxi and went home. After taking a shower, he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.He was away on a business trip for the past few days, and had a lot of socializing and entertainment. The alcohol was free, but he played with clients until late at night every day, and he wanted to catch up on a good night's sleep.When I opened my eyes again, it was already past three in the afternoon.His stomach was growling with hunger, he got up and stretched, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and dialed Bai Yutang's number.

"Fifth, it's me."

"Fourth brother?"

"En." Jiang Ping responded, and asked, "Are you free now?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Shall I go to find you, or will you come to my place?"

After a short silence, Bai Yutang's surprised voice came from the phone: "Are you back?"

"Well, I'll be back early when things are done."

"Wait, I'll go find you."

"Okay, by the way, bring me some steamed stuffed buns."

"Okay, I'll hang up then, see you later."

Before Jiang Ping could reply, the phone had been hung up.Hearing a beeping busy tone, Jiang Ping tilted his head and smiled, threw the phone on the bed, and walked leisurely into the living room.

An hour later, Bai Yutang rushed to Jiang Ping's residence with the warm steamed stuffed bun.The two washed their hands, walked into the kitchen and began to chat while eating.

"Fourth brother, do you have a drink?"

"No, I seldom drink that stuff, can tea work?"

"Forget it, no need." Bai Yutang picked up a mouthful of cold dish and put it into his mouth, chewing and asking, "When did you come back, why don't you just say, I'll pick you up at the airport."

"I'm not afraid that you are busy, so I didn't tell you." After Jiang Ping finished speaking, he paused for a while and asked, "How is Zhan Zhao?"

Bai Yutang sighed softly, and said, "Jiang Dong said that he's been in better spirits these past two days."

"I'm not here for a few days, have you visited him?"

"No." Bai Yutang replied in a muffled voice, thinking how dare he.As for Jiang Dong's great nerves, if he doesn't go, he might tell him off one day, and if he goes, he won't reveal his secret immediately.After thinking about it, he just held back and didn't show up.

Every day, Jiang Ping either saw this or that. He circled between the two of them, and was tortured to death by these two. "Follow me after dinner and watch him go!"

Bai Yutang was so moved that he almost shed tears.He is the youngest among the five brothers, and the four brothers love him very much, thinking about him and letting him go.But the fourth brother, Jiang Ping, is the one who knows him the most. "Fourth brother, you are a true confidant."

"Don't be so sour, I've heard goosebumps all over my body." Jiang Ping trembled, and said: "Hurry up and eat, and open the way after eating."

Bai Yutang grinned, and gnawed on the bun sullenly.

When the two arrived at the hospital, Zhan Zhao was on an IV, and Liu Rong was sitting on a wooden chair beside him, scraping apple puree spoonful by spoonful.Jiang Ping knocked on the door and went in to have a look. He wanted to laugh a little. In his impression, only children would eat like this.But after thinking about it, I felt a little uncomfortable again.

"Xiao Jiang?" Liu Rong turned her head and saw him, she was a little surprised, she stood up and said, "Didn't you go on a business trip? You're back so soon?"

"Fourth brother?" Zhan Zhao shouted from the bed.

"Yeah. I came back early." Jiang Ping said, walked to the bedside, looked at Zhan Zhao on the hospital bed, and said, "Not bad, he looks much better than when I left."

Zhan Zhao was in a good mood when he heard him coming, and smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of childish broken teeth. "Fourth brother's affairs are done?"

"Well. Almost there."

Seeing that her nephew was happy, Liu Rong put the apple on the bedside table and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, you chat with him, I'll go home and cook first."

"Okay, you go, I'm here, don't worry."

"Then I'll trouble you, his cousin will come over later." Liu Rong said, picked up the handbag, and gave a few more instructions to her nephew before turning and leaving.

Walking to the end of the corridor, just about to turn a corner, he saw Bai Yutang standing by the wall, as if he had just finished making a phone call.

"Auntie, hello."

"Xiaobai is here?" Liu Rong walked over to look at him and said gently.

"Well, I happen to be free today." Bai Yutang said, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Your fourth brother is here. You should go and see him too. I'll go home and cook."

"Okay. Then you go slowly."

"Well, let's go."

Bai Yutang nodded to Liu Rong, turned around and walked towards the ward.

When Jiang Ping saw Bai Yutang pushing the door, he intentionally pulled the wooden chair beside the bed, the creaking sound was sharp and piercing, masking the slight sound when the door was opened.

Jiang Ping sat in the wooden chair and didn't speak for a while, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"Fourth brother, the last signing was really thanks to you."

"It's a little effort, but I didn't really help much." Jiang Ping replied flatly, seemingly absent-minded.

"Is things not going well?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"No." Jiang Ping let out a long sigh.

Bai Yutang on the side wanted to punch Jiang Ping, this yin and yang is weird, why did you come here?

Normally, the fourth brother can be eloquent, but this is the first time he has been so silent today. Zhan Zhao didn't know what happened, so he asked cautiously, "Fourth brother has something on his mind?"

"No, no, don't think too much." Jiang Ping said in a hurry, but it sounded like he was trying to cover up.

"Fourth brother and I are still seeing each other?" Zhan Zhao asked with a light smile.

"No, I..." Jiang Ping said after a slight pause, and said with some hesitation: "There was a news last night, I don't know if you heard it."

"What news?" Zhan Zhao asked suspiciously.

"Drunk driving and rear-end collision on the Xiangzhu overpass caused eight vehicles to collide in succession, resulting in two deaths and six injuries."

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know." His heart was pounding, and he always felt that something was wrong with Fourth Brother today. "What do you want to say?"

Bai Yutang stared at Jiang Ping intently, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.What does this have to do with Zhan Zhao?What are you talking about with him?

"Zhan Zhao, actually..." Jiang Ping stopped in the middle of speaking.

"Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Then make sure you don't get too excited no matter what I say later."

Hearing what Jiang Ping said, Zhan Zhao felt a little nervous, nodded and said. "Well, fourth brother, let's talk."

Jiang Ping glanced up at Bai Yutang, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, Lao Wu was also at the scene of the car accident..."

Bai Yutang looked at Jiang Ping in disbelief, wishing he could stare at Jiang Ping two holes.Mouth kept saying dumb words:'What are you doing? ! Jiang Ping raised his hand to his mouth and made a hissing motion, signaling him to keep quiet.

"You...what did you say?" Zhan Zhao felt as if his heart had been shot by a bullet. He tried his best to control it, but his fingertips still trembled uncontrollably.

"Zhan Zhao, listen to me..."

"Where is he? How is he...how is he?"

Seeing that his face was pale and his voice was shaking, Bai Yutang felt a sharp pain in his heart, and kept shaking his head to Jiang Ping, but he was too scared to speak out, and was so anxious that he broke out in sweat.

Jiang Ping didn't say a word for a long time, and the room was so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat.

Zhan Zhao only felt the blood vessels in his temples throbbing, as if they were about to explode in pain.The fourth brother just said that the person was also at the scene of the car accident...Could it be...The picture of my mother lying quietly under the white sheet suddenly flashed in my mind, and the black and red blood mixed with the soil on the broken thumb had solidified ...impossible!This is impossible!Without knowing where the strength came from, he suddenly raised his right hand and pulled off the blindfold, pulled out the needle, and was about to get out of bed on one side of his body.He moved very fast, and when Jiang Ping came to his senses, seeing that he was almost carried under the bed, he was so frightened that his wits were about to fly, so he quickly stood up and supported him.

"Zhan Zhao, calm down." Jiang Ping saw that he seemed to have been frozen, his limbs were cold and he was shaking non-stop, he couldn't help feeling a little scared, and hurriedly put him on the bed.

Bai Yutang's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but rushed forward, grabbed Zhan Zhao's hand, knelt down and shouted, "Cat! I'm fine! Don't listen to fourth brother talking nonsense! I'm right here, I'm fine!" of!"

Zhan Zhao's hands were tightly packed, and he tried his best to control the trembling, but he couldn't stop no matter what.The man's voice suddenly sounded in the ear, without warning, without any sense of reality.He slowly turned his head to look at the sound, but he could only vaguely see a group of red shadows.

"Cat, don't scare me." Seeing Zhan Zhao's shortness of breath, fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, and a frighteningly white complexion, Bai Yutang yelled anxiously, "Fourth Brother! Why don't you just say something?" !"

Jiang Ping stood aside in a daze, he was so scared that he had already run away with confidence just now.He really didn't expect Zhan Zhao's reaction to be so big.At this time, when Bai Yutang yelled, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly pressed Zhan Zhao's trembling legs, and said, "Zhan Zhao! Fourth brother is teasing you, don't worry, fifth brother is fine."

Zhan Zhao was lying on the hospital bed, panting continuously with his mouth open. Every time he took a breath, his left collarbone felt like a needle prick.At this moment, he had more or less understood what had happened, but his body didn't seem to belong to him, and he didn't obey his commands at all. 'Is he all right? !He is here? !Did he see himself like this? ! 'He kept turning in his mind, and all his thoughts gathered in his heart for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

Bai Yutang saw that his brows were furrowed, his breathing was difficult, and even his lips turned blue. In a panic, he caught sight of the emergency call button on the wall and pressed it repeatedly. "Fourth brother, what are you still doing in a daze? Go and call the doctor!" He said, and pressed the button several times.

"Oh." Jiang Ping replied stupidly, turned around and ran out of the ward.Before I left the corridor, I saw Dr. Chen leading two nurses coming from the other end.

"Hurry up, Doctor Chen, hurry up and look at Zhan Zhao..."

Dr. Chen nodded, and he and Jiang Ping walked into the ward quickly.

With a bang, the door of the ward was pushed open, Bai Yutang hurriedly stood up, and pulled Dr. Chen who had just entered to the bedside.

"Doctor, hurry up and take a look, what's wrong with him?"

The doctor raised his arm to stop him, and said, "Please step back and keep quiet." After speaking, he turned around and began to check Zhan Zhao's situation.

Jiang Ping saw that Bai Yutang's eyes were red with anxiety, his head was sweating, and he felt guilty. He walked over and pulled Bai Yutang to the end of the bed, and comforted him: "Old Wu, don't hinder the doctor's treatment."

"Fourth brother, what are you thinking?!" Bai Yutang turned his head and growled in a low voice. "He is in such a body now, how can he bear this kind of joke!" He said, a mist slowly formed in his eyes.

"Fifth, I..."

Bai Yutang didn't have the heart to listen to his explanation, so he raised his hand to interrupt the other party's words.If something happened to Zhan Zhao because of this... He clenched his fists tightly, staring at the person on the bed all the time, not wanting to miss even a second.

"Zhan Zhao, relax..." Dr. Chen said, slowly breaking Zhan Zhao's tightly packed fingers, then supported his head, pulled out the pillow, and let him lie flat on the bed. "Close your eyes, don't open them." He said, bent down, put the stethoscope on Zhan Zhao's chest, raised his wrist to look at the watch, silently counting his heart rate.

Less than 1 minute, but as long as a century.Bai Yutang tightly grasped the iron bar at the end of the bed, looking at Zhan Zhao who was in convulsions all over his body, he was so anxious that sweat dripped down his back, and the white shirt was stuck to his skin limply.

Taking back the stethoscope, Dr. Chen turned Zhan Zhao's head to his side, pressed the thumb of one hand on the middle acupoint on Zhan Zhao's chest, and pinched the Hegu acupoint between his tiger's mouth with the other hand, turned his head to face Looking at the little nurse behind her, she ordered: "Exapamil, intravenous infusion." The little nurse nodded and walked out quickly, and came back with the liquid medicine and syringe after a while.

"Come on, the two of you help press his shoulders and legs." Doctor Chen turned his head and said to Jiang Ping and Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang immediately ran to the side opposite the doctor, put his hands on Zhan Zhao's thin shoulders, and kept muttering in his heart, "Cat, you'll be fine!"It will be fine! '

Due to the excessive action of pulling out the needle just now, there was a small spot of slight bleeding in Zhan Zhao's arm that was bruised by the needle.The little nurse carefully wiped off the blood with cotton wool, and skillfully pushed the medicine in the syringe into the vein slowly.A few minutes later, Zhan Zhao's convulsive trembling finally gradually eased.

Doctor Chen checked Zhan Zhao's heart rate again, turned his head to look at the infusion needle hanging beside the bed, and reprimanded him with a cold face, "The patient is very weak now, please pay more attention, don't stimulate the patient, try to avoid letting the The patient has emotional fluctuations. If this kind of problem occurs again, I'm sorry, I can only ask the two of you to go out."

"Don't worry, we will definitely pay attention." Jiang Ping nodded repeatedly.

Dr. Chen glanced at the two of them, then shook his head helplessly.Turning around, he ordered the little nurse to change the infusion needle for Zhan Zhao, and after re-hanging the IV, the group of three people walked out of the ward.

Bai Yutang frowned, turned his head to Jiang Ping, and said coldly, "Fourth brother, you go out too."

Jiang Ping coughed lightly, knowing that he was wrong, and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside." After speaking, he turned around and backed out in despair.

Bai Yutang pulled the wooden chair in the corner and sat down next to the bed.After all the tossing just now, most of Zhan Zhao's clothes were already drenched with sweat, and strands of hair stuck to his forehead and cheeks, making his face even paler, making him look lifeless and weak.

"Cat, you really scared me to death." Bai Yutang said, putting his hand on the back of Zhan Zhao's lightly.Feeling the man's fingers tremble slightly, the whole arm tensed instantly, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, sobbing: "Why are you so stupid?!" His tone contained countless emotions , as if all the love and hate all these years have been fused into this sentence.

Zhan Zhao lay quietly on the bed without saying a word, trying his best to conceal the turmoil in his heart at the moment, but the disordered breathing and irregular chest heaving and falling had already betrayed him.Bai Yutang saw that his mouth was tightly pursed, his teeth were clenched so that even the muscles of his cheeks tensed, he sighed, raised his hand to slowly stroke his hair, and began to stroke it gently.

"You are worried about me, I'm very happy. Just don't make things difficult for yourself in the future..." He said, slowly lowered his head, and put his forehead on the other's shoulder. "I'm really going to be scared to death by you..."

The shoulders were slowly wetted by a wave of warmth, and Zhan Zhao felt pain like a prick in his heart.What has he been doing all these years?What has he done to him?He has always insisted on what he thought was a good choice and practice for the other party, but in the end it was unavoidable and deeply hurt this person...

There was no sound in the room, at this moment, it seemed that all words were superfluous.The two of them thought at the same time, as long as the person next to them is alive and well...
