Reservoir Dogs

Chapter 13

It's easy to take a taxi back to their home from the city center, but it's a bit difficult to hail a taxi near their home.

Fu Jingsan hurriedly stuffed all his money into his pocket, slammed the door and ran towards the main road, looking around for taxis.He couldn't care less about saving money or not, he just wanted to go over early and have his sister check up on what's wrong with her body.

But he walked along that road towards the city center for a long time, but he didn't see an empty taxi.But at this time, he couldn't get a taxi, and he couldn't think of a way to fly back to the hospital suddenly.

The young man put his hands in his pockets, clutching the stack of hundred-yuan bills tightly. Hearing the sound of a car behind him, he subconsciously raised his hand to stop it.A taxi is a taxi, but it is a taxi carrying passengers.It passed in front of Fu Jingsan as if showing off, leaving behind an unpleasant exhaust.

"..." Fu Jing opened her mouth three times to curse, but only a heavy sigh came out.

At this moment, a black car drove over from the direction he was facing, and made a U-turn on the double yellow lines not far behind him.Fu Jingsan didn't notice it at all, he just walked and stopped the car in three steps, until the car stopped beside him.

——He felt that only Nie Yuan could describe him and Huo Yunjiang. God knows why the rich young master wandered on this road today, and even saw him.

The window of the back seat quickly lowered, revealing Huo Yunjiang's face: "...where are you going?"

Fu Jingsan opened the car door without thinking, and the other party reacted quickly, and immediately moved inside to make room for him.He just got into the car of Huo Yunjiang's family, gnashing his teeth as if he wanted to seek revenge: "Go to the central hospital, take me to the central hospital!"

The driver was waiting in the rearview mirror to receive Huo Yunjiang's wink.

Huo Yunjiang looked at him and nodded again.

"...Is something wrong?"

"My sister..." Fu Jingsan said with her head down, "My sister is sick, and I don't have enough money with me, I just came back to get it."

"is it serious."

"do not know……"

Once it was said that X-rays and examinations were to be taken, Fu Jingsan felt that the matter was serious for no reason.In his eyes, minor illnesses and minor pains are just going to the clinic to prescribe some medicine and suspend water, while major illnesses are rumored to be hospitalized or die, and there is no median value.He and his sister are suffering too much, and they really belong to the category of people who can't afford to be sick.

He completely forgot that before he was on vacation, he and Huo Yunjiang were still in a "cold war".

The other party was always silent, and he was not in the mood to chat at this moment; with his hand in his pocket rubbing the banknotes back and forth, Fu Jingsan's mind was full of possible bad results.He thought of his unlucky deskmate - Luo Chen who had kidney failure and almost died.

If, he meant if, if Fu Jingyi got some incurable disease...

Thoughts were going to hell, a hand was put on his shoulder very suddenly.This almost made Fu Jingsan jump up in fright, he looked to the side in a panic: "...what?"

"I want to ask you, what's wrong with you." Huo Yunjiang unhurriedly pulled out a tissue and handed it to him, "You're sweating."

He didn't have time to pay attention to these trivial matters at all, he just wanted to rush to the hospital as soon as possible.Even so, he took the tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead hastily, and said, "Can you drive faster? I'm in a hurry."

"It's about to speed up." Huo Yunjiang said, "We'll be there soon, don't worry."

In fact, Fu Jingsan's memory of the conversation in the car that day is very vague.

He only remembered that after rushing to the hospital to pay the fee, he watched his sister go in for an examination, and waited with her for the result.During this period, Huo Yunjiang was by his side all the time, but he didn't say a word; when he almost forgot the existence of this person, it was Fu Jing who asked, "Why did your classmate come here..."

He looked at Huo Yunjiang blankly, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.In his cognition, Huo Yunjiang should send him home in that car after he arrives.

"I met you on the road. Come by and see if there is anything you need help with." Huo Yunjiang said softly, and smiled faintly at the siblings.

To put it mildly, that instant smile made Fu Jingsan feel like a spring breeze, and he even forgot how much he hated him before.

"Is Fu Jingyi here? Come in."

"Yes, yes!" Fu Jingsan rushed to answer, and hurriedly dragged her sister to the doctor.

Then the doctor started to ask about her symptoms, pointing at the X-ray from time to time and saying something that Fu Jingsan couldn't understand.He couldn't understand the professional terms in the doctor's mouth, but he could understand what his sister said—before coming to the hospital, she had been coughing for a long time, had a low-grade fever from time to time, and had severe chest pains.He didn't know about it at all, except that he heard the cough, Fu Jingyi didn't tell him anything, and pretended to be healthy.

Huo Yunjiang stood waiting at the door, looking in, he only noticed Fu Jingsan's clenched fist at the side.

He really loves his sister, not only can he say it easily from his mouth, but also shows it unconsciously in all aspects.It was an emotion that Huo Yunjiang could not understand at all.

"...I think it's tuberculosis, I'll stay in the hospital for observation for a few days and do a more detailed examination." The doctor finally said.

The sister and brother reacted completely opposite when they heard this sentence, Fu Jingsan nodded without thinking: "Then be hospitalized."

But Fu Jingyi said with a look of embarrassment: "...Can I not be hospitalized, I can come back for a checkup tomorrow..."

Before the doctor could speak, Fu Jingsan frowned fiercely and said, "No, if the doctor says you should be hospitalized, then go to hospital!"

At this time, Huo Yunjiang who was standing at the door suddenly said: "It is true that you should be hospitalized, tuberculosis is contagious...you should also pay attention."

In front of her sister, Fu Jing just gave him a three-stared look, but didn't explode on the spot.

As soon as he settled Fu Jing and went to the payment hall below to pay the fee, he challenged Huo Yunjiang: "What do you mean by that? Are you afraid that I will also get tuberculosis and infect you? Are you afraid that you will follow along? What are you doing now? You can get out now."

"I'm just telling the truth, what are you mad about?"

"...Aren't you angry with your words?"

"I think it's okay," Huo Yunjiang said, "It's because you are anxious, and you have been anxious since you got in the car."

"...I don't." They stood in front of the payment window and argued for a few words. They said it was an argument, but in fact only Fu Jingsan was incompetent and furious.Huo Yunjiang was still in that infuriating indifference, and he didn't leave for some reason.The medical staff inside handed out the receipt, and Fu Jingsan grabbed it and inserted it into the medical record, and said, "I'm just a little irritable...you go back, I can take care of the rest."

"Don't you need to go back and get a change of clothes for your sister?"

"...I will take a taxi by myself."

"You know that I can send you off."

As they talked, they walked towards the building of the inpatient department.

The evening wind blew past, besides the chill, there was also the smell of Huo Yunjiang beside him.For no reason, his mood eased a little, and his voice also softened and said: "I don't want to owe you..."

"You don't need to be so clear with me..." Huo Yunjiang whispered, "If you want to say you owe me, you already owe me a lot."

"What do I owe you?"

"That time I was fined to stand, but this time I will send you to the hospital," he said, "It's hard to get a taxi in that place, right?... If you really calculate it so clearly, you will have a hard time."

"Am I the one who figured it out? It's clearly you, and you remember all the trivial things! Other people wouldn't care about such trivial things at all."

His answer hit Huo Yunjiang's arms: "Yes, but you will care because you don't want to owe me anything."

"...I'm too lazy to argue with you," Fu Jingsan said, "Go back quickly, and you don't need your help for the rest."

"Is there enough money?"

"Enough! You don't need to borrow it!"

Huo Yunjiang smiled, checked the time with his mobile phone, and finally stopped following: "Call me if you have anything to do."

"It's okay, get out of here."

Tuberculosis is not a terminal illness, and it is not necessary for him and his sister to sell pots and irons to sell houses. Fu Jingsan still has this common sense.

But what he didn't expect was that when his sister flew in and contracted tuberculosis, all their belongings were left with only 2000 yuan and Fu's shabby house.

"Where's the money? Where's the saved money..."

As soon as Fu Jing changed into the hospital gown and lay on the hospital bed hanging water, his appearance was ten thousand times more pitiful than before.She looked at her younger brother in embarrassment, her brows were tightly furrowed, and it was difficult for her to speak: "...Ze Kai, just before, after being injured by you, he took some medical expenses from me..."

"Are you crazy, sister? I just hit him with a stick and put on some safflower oil. You give him money?!" Fu Jing asked three times, "Is he human? He, he..." "Three, Don't talk about him like that." She sighed heavily: "If you hit someone, you should pay for some medical expenses..."

"..."

At this moment, Fu Jingsan hated that impulsive self more than wanting to kill Liu Zekai.

Originally relying on my sister to support the two of them alone, and also to support him in high school, I barely managed to make ends meet, and my sister saved the money I could save to pay his tuition.In fact, even without Liu Zekai, the money they have on hand is not enough to deal with tuberculosis.

"How much did he ask for?" Fu Jing asked three times.

"Not many, more than 1000..."

"...he can really do it."

"Three, I really didn't expect this to happen..." Fu Jingyi thought he was blaming himself, his eyes were red with anxiety, like a little rabbit, "I thought that from then until your next semester, the tuition fee will definitely cover earned..."

"I know I know...it's okay." He licked his lips, trying to make his expression look relaxed, "I have saved some money, I'll go back and get it later."

As poor as they are, the blow of a serious illness is fatal.

What they have to face is not only high medical expenses, but also the direct loss of not being able to work...all of these are unbearable for them.

In order to let her sister be hospitalized with peace of mind, Fu Jingsan could only lie and say that she had saved thousands of dollars.In fact, all the money he had on hand was that little, and after spending a few days on various examinations, infusions and hospitalization expenses in the hospital, there was not much left.He wanted to simply mortgage the house, but he couldn't find the real estate certificate after rummaging through the boxes and cabinets at home; ***M#言&&&情#Chinese&&&&Online lending, only usury is what I heard.And the useless scum who still asked his sister for money disappeared without a trace. He asked for a long time on Degenerate Street, but he didn't ask where he lived.

On the day when her sister's series of examination results came out and she was diagnosed with tuberculosis, Fu Jingsan dialed Huo Yunjiang's number for the first time.

That day was the new year, when thousands of families were reunited, he squatted on the stairs at the entrance of the inpatient department, and said hoarsely to the phone: "... Huo Yunjiang, can you come out and meet?"
