Fool Qi

Chapter 8
A moment of silence.

Several neighbors who followed also fell silent.

Sister Li scratched her head, seeing that everyone else was evasive, helpless.

Ah Qi was lying on the door, tiptoeing, wiping the door, looking straight at the door.

Sister Li looked at Ah Qi and suddenly came up with an idea.

Just then, the door opened.

Two nurses pushed Du Bo out of the emergency room.Dubo's face was pale and his eyes were still closed.

"Stop surrounding him. He is going to be transferred to the general ward, so please walk softly."

said one of the nurses.

Everyone supported the car and followed.

After guarding the hospital bed for more than half an hour, the people almost dispersed, leaving only Sister Li and Ah Qi.Du Bo slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake!" Sister Li said happily.

Du Bo looked at Sister Li, then at Ah Qi who was lying asleep beside the hospital bed, smiled, and said, "Thanks to you, my life was finally slowed down, and I didn't report to Hades."

Sister Li approached Du Bo, sat down on the side of the bed, and said softly: "Dubber, just wake up. It's just that your illness requires a lot of money. If you can't pay it, we will have to pay for it tomorrow morning." I'm sending you back."

"How much does it cost?" Du Bo asked.

Sister Li hesitated for a moment, stretched out two fingers, and said, "20!"

When Du Bo heard this, his eyes darkened, and he sighed: "It's so expensive, forget it. I also thought about it, we are not rich people, where can I find this 20, it is not enough to sell me. Tomorrow we will Go back. Life or death."

"I just feel sorry for the child." Du Bo looked at Ah Qi who was sleeping soundly, and added another sentence.

Sister Li patted the bed sheet lightly, leaned over to Du Bo's ear, and said, "Don't think so, don't you have an antique? If you sell it, you can make enough money."

Du Bo shook his head and said, "I do have a peony vase, which was left to me by my father. I don't know how much it's worth. It looks like it's from the Qing Dynasty, but also from the Tang Dynasty. I'm not sure, but I can't sell it. .”

"Why?" Sister Li looked very surprised.

Du Bo turned his head sideways and didn't answer.

Sister Li knew that he was stubborn, and she was not angry when she saw him ignoring others.She stood up and said, "There is nothing more valuable than life. If you keep this thing, you should keep it. Let's just sell it."

Du Bo turned his head and said sadly: "I want to buy it. When my son comes back, I will leave him something. This disease can't be cured, so there is no need to spend any more money."

Upon hearing this, Sister Li sat down again, and said, "Then have you thought about it, what should you do if your son doesn't see you when he comes back?"

Du Bo was still shaking his head.

Sister Li stood up again, raised her voice, and said, "Listen to me, your son doesn't even think about people who are greedy for money. He won't blame you."

All the people in the ward focused on Du Bo.

Du Bo waved his hands awkwardly, and said, "Don't be so loud, you'll disturb others."

"Don't be afraid to say it out loud if you have reason," Sister Li said.

Du Bo was worried that she would continue to babble, so he nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I promise you, I sold this peony bottle. Keep your voice down, everyone is resting."

When Sister Li heard it, she smiled, sat down happily, and lowered her voice: "That's right, I'll ask for you tomorrow and see who took it. If it doesn't work, I'll put this antique in the hospital." When the cost of treatment."

"Listen to you." After Dubo finished speaking, he pointed to Ah Qi and continued: "Ah Qi watches me take the peony bottle every day. He knows where I put it. Please take him back together and bring the peony bottle here gone."

Sister Li turned her head to look at Ah Qi.This guy is so stupid, his saliva is all over the place, can it work?
Du Bo saw Sister Li's concerns, and said, "Don't worry, Ah Qi, he's just not in good spirits for the time being. You take him back, he can understand what you say. Just don't let him take the peony bottle."

"That's the only way to go." Sister Li said.

The two guarded Dubo all night.

Early the next morning, Sister Li took Ah Qi and fetched the peony bottle.

Du Bo touched the peony vase, feeling very reluctant.However, when things come to this, they can only give up.

Sister Li called the nurse over.

"Nurse, the medical expenses are too expensive, and we can't afford them. Can you use this antique to pay for the medical expenses?" Sister Li pointed to the peony bottle next to Du Bo.

When the nurse heard this, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I've never heard of using antiques to pay for medical expenses. I can't make up my mind about this. You can go to the toll booth and ask. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." After finishing speaking, she turned and left up.

"Oh, I said, wait a minute." Sister Li shouted to the nurse, but the nurse had already left.

"Don't embarrass other people's little girls." Du Bo put his hand on the peony bottle and said, "I still need to trouble you to take it to the toll booth."

Sister Li carefully put the peony bottle back into the box, and carried it to the toll booth.

There were not many people, and it was her turn after a while.

"Well, I want to ask, we don't have enough medical expenses, can we use this to pay? This is an antique." Sister Li gently put the box on the window sill, without letting go of her hands.

The nurse was about 30 years old, looked at Sister Li, and said impatiently: "Sorry, we don't accept this. I have been here for so long, and I have never seen such a thing. If you have no money, go home and make up for it." Go. Look, the people behind are still waiting, please let me go."

Sister Li said unconvinced: "How can we talk? If we sell this antique, we will have money. It's just that we are in a hurry to spend money for medical treatment, so I asked you. I said, you can't do this."

The nurse said blankly: "I've said everything I need to say, please step aside, the people behind are still waiting!"

"Yeah, hurry up." The people lining up at the back also became impatient.

Sister Li smiled and said to the people behind: "I'm sorry, it will be ready soon." Then, she turned her head and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a look again, we have nothing to do. "

"No!" The nurse said coldly.

Seeing this, Sister Li knew that the conversation could not go on, so she walked back resentfully holding the bottle.

After walking a few steps, a man in front of him blocked his way.

The visitor was in his 40s, not tall, but with a big belly, holding a black briefcase in his right hand, and wearing a string of dark brown beads on his wrist.

"Hello, my surname is Zhao. I specialize in the antique business. You can call me Zhao Gudong. I just heard that you have antiques. Can you let me have a look at them? If it's suitable, I can buy them." The visitor said .

Sister Li was already worried about having nowhere to sell, so she was of course happy to see someone willing to buy it.I thought to myself, Du Bo is too lucky.

Holding the bottle with a smile, she said, "Yes."

The two found a place with relatively few people nearby.

Sister Li took out the bottle and slowly put it on the ground.

Zhao Gudong also looked professional. He took out white gloves and a magnifying glass from the black briefcase, and looked carefully at the peony bottle.He didn't speak, and kept frowning tightly.

Sister Li didn't understand antiques at all, she stood by and watched nervously.
