Origin - Chapter 1001
[Chapter 939]
Fang Yi went to say hello to the prison, and Wu Zhongyuan also left the room where everyone was smoking, and went outside to breathe.
At this time, the prisoners in the prison had already started to have sex, all of them shaved their heads, and their brows were full of decadence and helplessness that could not be concealed. For most people, losing their freedom is the most terrible thing, which means that they can’t see their relatives. Friends also mean that you have no chance to participate in everything that happens outside.
There are many people who advertise that they like quietness, but in fact, they are just Lord Ye who loves dragons, just to express their sorrows for writing poetry. Very few people really like quietness. Only people who are strong enough can enjoy quietness. Ordinary people can’t stand loneliness. They like it. Participate, like to be lively, and like to socialize. In their view, this kind of meaningless busyness is gain and possession. If you don’t go out for a day, it seems like a huge loss.
Originally, the prison authorities were in awe of Wu Zhongyuan, lest they would fall behind and complain if they did not cooperate well. When they heard that the two were leaving, they were instantly relieved.
The prison authorities sent the best car in the prison, and it ran very fast and smoothly. Wu Zhongyuan had a whim and wanted to pick a few good cars to send back, but he rejected the idea as soon as it appeared, not because of lack of ability. , but the ancient road conditions are not good, and there is no gas station.
If a person is strong enough, even if he thinks wildly, in the eyes of outsiders, he is thinking deeply. How could Fang Yi and the driver know that Wu Zhongyuan was in a daze and was considering whether to send a car back, and he was thinking about some important issue.
It was after ten o’clock in the morning when he went to the city. Fang Yi was not in a hurry to go to the airport. Instead, he found a seafood market and asked Wu Zhongyuan to choose what he wanted to eat. Then he found a small shop and paid someone to help make it.
Wu Zhongyuan had money, but Fang Yi refused to let him spend money and insisted on inviting him. Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to let him go.
Nowadays, many people envy the iron rice bowl and 9-5 of public officials and hate them because of this. In fact, the wages of public officials are not high, they can only guarantee their food and clothing, and the price they pay is that they will never become rich. , because their superiors do not allow them to do business, and if they want to have both rights, they will face the risk of going in.
A meal cost Fang Yi more than 4,000, more than 1,000 meals and more than 3,000 drinks. The two of them drank a bottle of Maotai. People often say what brand of cigarette and what brand of wine they like, just like this. Son, this is actually a self-deception statement. In terms of taste and quality, Maotai Zhonghua is indeed superior.
During the meal, Fang Yi played the emotional card, recalled the scene where the two of them searched for the leopard from Poyang Lake together, and told about what tasks he and Wang Xinran had performed together. Wu Zhongyuan knew that Fang Yi was doing this for a purpose, but he was not disgusted, because Most of the goodwill is actually a desire, and you can’t deny the other party’s goodwill just because the other party desires.
In ancient times, the degree of alcohol was very low,
not even 20 degrees. Suddenly drinking more than 50 degrees, and not using spiritual energy to control the alcohol, Wu Zhongyuan was a little drunk. I found a light blue Dongxuan Spirit Pill and gave it to Fang Yi, and then gave Fang Yi a ride, and sent him directly back to the 18th Bureau.
After sending Fang Yi away, Wu Zhongyuan began to think about where to go. He didn’t go far, but when he saw a nursing home not far away, he went there. He didn’t have any specific objects to observe when he came back this time. may be his target.
When he went to the nursing home, the nursing home was having a meal. It was an ordinary nursing home with average food. The people living in it were all elderly people in their 70s and 80s. There were many old men and few old wives.
The atmosphere and aura are real, and the place where there are many old people inevitably has a sense of twilight. The biggest characteristic of the old people is that they are slow, slow to eat, slow to speak, slow to walk, and slow no matter what they do.
After dinner, the old people began to bask in the sun. When they were in the sun, they had to talk and chat. There were two main topics. One was talking about children. Everyone has vanity, and the elderly are no exception. How good and how busy, so I can’t take care of them personally, I can only send them to the nursing home.
This is actually a kind of self-deception. It can be seen that they do not like nursing homes. The elderly who are sent to nursing homes have the idea of being abandoned, but they try their best to find excuses for their children to comfort themselves.
In addition to children, the old people talk more about the past, that is, recalling the past, what they did when they were young and worthy of showing off, and what they did themselves that others dare not do.
Wu Zhongyuan is very patient. Since the afternoon, he has been hearing the old people returning to the house after three o’clock. The conclusion is that these old people have not done anything out of the ordinary, and there are very few things worth recalling and gratifying. In fact, the same Education, under a similar environment, most people have similar ideologies and life trajectories. Few people are really different, and more people think they are different.
Wu Zhongyuan waited until the nursing home had dinner before leaving. He did not blame those who sent their parents to the nursing home because the elderly were depressed in the nursing home. There were very few children who were truly unfilial, and most of them were poor people who were busy with their livelihoods. Without too much energy to take care of and accompany my parents, I can only send my parents here.
In fact, everyone should go to a nursing home to see those people who are dying, mediocre and innocent, but willing to be mediocre and not thinking about progress is really sinful, even if it’s just for more bragging rights after getting old You have to muster up the courage to do some great things.
The reason why there are so many people in this nursing home is because it is close to the hospital. Not far away is a large hospital in a prefecture-level city. After night fell, Wu Zhongyuan went there again.
He did not enter the ward, but sat on the top of the building. Now his senses are extremely sharp, and he can listen to many people talking at the same time without disturbing his thoughts. The building he is in is the inpatient building of the oncology department. Cancer patients, to put it bluntly, are cancer patients.
There is a fruit basket and some dried fruits next to Wu Zhongyuan. The fruit baskets and dried fruits are all he got from the supermarket in the hospital. This is a black-hearted supermarket. The products sold are much more expensive than those outside. of customers get their revenge.
Everything in the world is made up of breath, and everyone has a different breath. Since there are patients with malignant tumors here, they emit gloomy and black aura. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan is like sitting on a big chimney with black smoke.
Wu Zhongyuan came here after six o’clock, and sat until after eleven o’clock in the evening. After eleven o’clock, almost all the patients and bed companions fell asleep and could not hear anything.
For five hours, he heard a lot of different conversations, but they can be roughly classified into several categories. The most important is the distressed medical expenses. Most of them are rural patients, and urban people also have them. Not to mention no medical insurance, even if there is medical insurance, many special drugs It is also not reimbursed. A person’s illness can really bring down a family, and it will be brought down in a very short period of time.
At this time, people who believe in ordinary and valuable will be blinded. If they have no money, they will do nothing. If they have no money, they will not give medicine. You can’t blame the hospital for being cruel, because the hospital also needs to survive, and from the perspective of equal exchange, treatment and medication are also The hospital should be given money.
Crying secretly, sighing, calling to borrow money, smoking suffocating cigarettes, these are all to no avail. Everyone knows that work is very tiring. If you want to make money, you must pay more effort and sweat. I don’t know it’s fun to play a game after get off work. Who doesn’t know that fishing and playing on weekends is very pleasant, but comfort comes at a price, that is, the decrease in income. It is a man’s greatest sorrow and his greatest failure.
After five hours of listening, Wu Zhongyuan also heard a lot of lies. He was very puzzled. He was so ill that many patients still chose to believe the lies of their family members and believed that they were all right. They were overwhelmed by the strong desire to survive. Or because of cowardice and dare not face reality.
What should come will always come, and what should be faced will be faced sooner or later. It will not happen because you choose not to face it. All patients have wishes and concerns, but after summarizing, Wu Zhongyuan found a rule, that is, all regrets In fact, they can do things well before they get terminally ill. It’s not that God didn’t give them a chance, but they have been procrastinating and slack, and they don’t start to worry until they are sick. This is an obvious hindsight. If they get sick, they may still be procrastinating in their seventies and eighties.
There are also some patients who are sober and able to face the reality bravely. Knowing that their fate is imminent, they begin to arrange funerals. The main manifestation is that they strongly demand to be discharged from the hospital, do not want to spend more money, and implicate their family members.
As the so-called too ruthless, the saint who instructs the universe must first detach himself from the emotions of the human world. Only by detachment can he be on the sidelines, and only by the sidelines can he be fair. It is reasonable to say that Wu Zhongyuan should not change anything, but in the end he still shot. Yes, it’s a female patient in the ward on the fifth floor.
This is a woman in her fifties, and her family is by her side. Her family is lying to her, saying that she is okay, but the female patient knows that she has a terminal illness, but in the face of the well-meaning deception of her family, she does not expose it. , but cooperated with them fully, pretending to be nothing, and in the subsequent conversation, intentionally or unintentionally, told the family how much savings they had at home and where they put their jewelry.
When the family forced a smile, she was able to laugh out loud.
Without major changes, he never knew who was a warrior and who was a coward. Wu Zhongyuan admired the psychological quality of this woman, but what he admired more was the nobleness of this woman. Blindly dumping bitter water, hoping to get more attention, this woman did not do that, she gave all her good emotions to her family, and took the huge psychological pressure on herself.
Zhuangzi has words, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Gods have no merit, saints have no name. From this point of view, Wu Zhongyuan should make a move quietly, retreat quietly, should not disturb anyone, not even the patient himself, but Wu Zhongyuan did not In doing so, he showed his body and walked into the ward where the woman was.
He was moved by the woman’s behavior, and he wanted to praise and praise her in front of her family and other patients in the same ward, and he did.
Before everyone could react, Wu Zhongyuan left the ward without giving the woman’s family a chance to thank him. The reason why he did this was not to get their thanks, but because he wanted to do it.
It was almost 11:30 when he left the hospital. Wu Zhongyuan reconsidered where to go. Thinking of the bar that Big Nose mentioned last night, he wanted to go and find out. It’s not right, but after thinking about it again, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. I came back this time to observe the drunken fans and feasting.
After making up his mind, he got into the taxi at the entrance of the hospital, “Go to the bar.”
“Which bar?” the driver asked.
“The liveliest bar…”
