the knife of love

Chapter 55

Chi Feng's shot was actually merciless. The bullet he chose was relatively small, and the wound caused was not large. It was just that it was designed at close range. The bullet did not penetrate the body and remained in the flesh, causing Tang Jingcheng's right shoulder bone to swell. Comminuted fracture, no internal organs were injured, but the sixth and seventh ribs in the right chest were shaken and fractured when the bullet was injected.

Due to trauma, plaster could not be applied to the fracture, so the doctor performed an operation and fixed it with four steel nails.

This injury is not small, and the average middle-aged man may not be able to bear it, let alone a woman like Tang Jingcheng who has never suffered.

Although the people below said that she was awake, she was not conscious, and was still in a coma most of the time.

Guan Lue didn't go to the hospital to see her after that, but the people at the hospital would give him a brief report every day.

such as:

"Miss Tang woke up for two hours this afternoon, but her consciousness is still not clear."

"Miss Tang's father stayed with her in the ward this morning, but she has been in a coma."

"At six or seven o'clock in the evening, Miss Tang woke up for a while and refused the doctor to give her painkillers..."

"Miss Tang hasn't eaten since noon, and she vomited once just now. The doctor said that the long-term coma caused intestinal dysfunction, and she has been put on a drip."

According to the hospital's report, Tang Jingcheng's injury is getting better little by little, no wound infection occurred, and her bones are growing, but her condition is getting worse and worse.

The more she wakes up, the more she knows many cruel facts. These pains far exceed her physical pain and injury.

Lou Qingxiao knew that Guan Lue had never been to the hospital, and there was no worry on his face.

He is still the same every day, dealing with Jiurongtai affairs, visiting Jiulingling when he has time, and returning to the villa to accompany Lou Qingxiao for dinner when he is free. It seems that nothing has changed. What an impact.

Ye Tan breathed a sigh of relief, and she even called to comfort Lou Qingxiao because of this matter.

"Miss Qingxiao, don't worry, brother Jiu really doesn't have any feelings for that woman, you can see that she's hurt like this, brother Jiu didn't go to the hospital to see her once, so he asked a few people to guard at the door of the ward Brother Jiu doesn't care how much she hurts or makes trouble."

Ye Tan talked a little bit as if he was inferior to a beast, the more he talked, the more proud he became.

Lou Qingxiao didn't interrupt the whole time, and only smiled lightly after she finished speaking: "I know Brother Ninth's temper, he is very measured in everything he does."

"Yeah, otherwise he wouldn't have cared so much for you for so many years!" Ye Tan's words sounded strange no matter how they sounded, but Lou Qingxiao was already used to it, she knew Ye Tan liked Guan Lue, and she already liked it many years.

Only Lao Mai can see that Guanlue's situation is not good.

"Can you smoke less? This is a consulting room and I need to pick up patients!" Lao Mai went over and snatched the ashtray from Guan Lue's hand, and there were already a lot of cigarette butts pinched in the ashtray.

Guan slightly raised his eyelids and gave him a stab, but ignored him, lit another cigarette with a "snap", took a few puffs, and directly dusted the ash on the floor of the consulting room.

Lao Mai had no choice but to obediently push the ashtray closer to him.

Guan Lue was holding an ashtray in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and his tall body fell on the sofa, slumped no matter how he looked at it.

"Tang Jingcheng is still making noise these days?" Lao Mai asked.

The people on the sofa didn't make a sound, and the cigarettes became more intense. Lao Mai could only sigh and pushed Guan Lue's shoulder.

"Hey, someone can come from Yunnan to see her."

"What?" The person on the sofa finally responded, and his tone was quite fierce.

Old Mai snorted: "He's still a strong guy, from Kunming, he said he stayed with Tang Jingcheng for a few days when he was in Tengchong."

Guan Lue couldn't figure out who it was, so Lao Mai dialed the phone with a smile.

"Hey, come here, your ninth brother is here with me."

Soon someone knocked on the door of the consulting room, Lao Mai went to open it, Guan slightly pressed his temples and leaned back on the back of the sofa, and heard someone calling him respectfully.

"Ninth brother."

"Yaba?" Guan slightly raised his head and saw Yaba standing in front of him with a luggage bag on his shoulders, his face was flushed, and he looked dusty.

"Why are you here?"

"I...I want to see Sister Tang." Yaba knew that his status was inappropriate, and the woman who came all the way from Yunnan to see the boss couldn't justify her words, so that when she said "Sister Tang", her face turned pale. It's almost stuck to the ground.

Lao Mai was still fanning the flames beside him: "This sister's shout is really affectionate, hey, boy, who gave you the courage?"

"..." Yala blushed even more frightened, and looked up at Guan Lue's expression.

Guan slightly rubbed his fingers, the smoke on his fingertips was covered with white mist, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes really couldn't see any deep meaning.

Yaba's legs were about to go limp, and he was stunned for a long time before he stammered: "Ninth Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm just... just worried about Sister Tang, I shouldn't have come to see her at first, but after Brother Qing went back and said it, I felt so sad. I just hung there, feeling extremely uncomfortable, so I came here...I..."

"Okay." Seeing that Yala was about to cry if he continued speaking, Guan Lue took off his cigarette and stood up from the sofa, "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital."

Even Lao Mai was stunned at this moment.

It took Yala a few seconds to realize that Guan Lue had already walked out of the consultation room, so he hurried to catch up.

Along the way, Yaba sat in the co-pilot and dared not make a sound. He grabbed the pants at his knees with both hands, half clenched his fists, and a little yellow tassel dangled from the center of his fists.

Guan slightly turned his head to look at him, and asked, "What's in your hand?"

"No... nothing."

Guan slightly snorted: "She gave it to you?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Yala opened the fist that had been pulled all the way, and there was a small piece of jade hand toy lying inside.

The thing is quite small, only as big as the heart of a fist. Guan Lue took it over and took a look, only to realize that there was a beautiful woman carved on it, and she was naked naked, with big breasts and buttocks, and a charming expression. people.

Yaba blushed with embarrassment, and explained falteringly: "I sent Sister Tang back to Yunling that day, she forced it to me at the airport, and she said thank me for taking her out to play in Tengchong, actually...actually...Ninth Brother I……"

The more he talked, the more chaotic it became, and Yala began to stammer.

Guan Lue couldn't help but smiled, and returned the jadeite to him.

"Put it away, she is very valuable!"

"really?"

"Well, you can go and check." Guan Lue looked ahead and drove, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "She is a famous jade carver in China, and any piece of her husband's work can buy a house in your Tengchong. "

Yala was so frightened that he didn't dare to make another sound, he tossed and pinched the emerald beauty over and over again.

Guan Lue was very upset.

The two soon arrived at the hospital, Guan Lue stopped the car, and Ya Lao got out of the car first, but Guan Lue was sitting in the car without moving.

"Ninth brother, are you not going?"

Guan slightly shook his head, took out a cigarette: "I won't go, I'll wait for you here."

How dare Yaba make him wait: "Brother Ninth, if you don't go up, go first. I'll go back to the hotel by myself after watching Sister Tang."

"Have you booked a room?"

"Well, I'm going to go back after watching Sister Tang."

Guan Lue put his arms on the car window, smoked a cigarette, and said, "Don't go back to Kunming for now, I'll let someone arrange you."

Half an hour later, Yaba came out of the inpatient building, Guan Lue leaned on the car to smoke a cigarette, looked up at Yaba, Yaba's eyes were too red, and she looked at Guan Lue as if holding her breath.

Guan slightly squinted his long eyes, took a deep puff and stomped out the cigarette.

"Get in the car."

Yaba let out an "um", his voice was a little broken, but he started to cry as soon as he sat in the car.

When Guan Lue got into the gear, he saw that Yaba's shoulders were trembling too much. He was afraid that Guan Lue would not cry aloud, so Guan Lue gritted his teeth, with a bulging vein on his forehead, he immediately backed out of the gear and opened the car door to go out .

One is outside the car and one is in the car.

The people outside the car leaned against the car door in silence.

Yala in the car couldn't bear it any longer, and lay down on the dashboard and cried loudly.

The scene was also quite funny, a tall and strong young man was hiding in the car and crying, sobbing.

Guan Lue was so tired from crying, he opened the car door a few minutes later and went up, growling softly: "Okay, it's not dead again!"

"That's not better than death." Yala was also crying and confused, not afraid of shutting down, and said in a sobbing voice, "It hurts so much, she has been enduring it. When I went, the doctor was changing her medicine. She She refused to get a painkiller injection, so a few nurses held her down and gave her a shot... The last time I saw Sister Tang, she was wearing our Lisu skirt. She was so beautiful at that time. I recognized her, why did she become like this in just a few days..."

As Yaba spoke, he began to sob again.

Guan slightly swallowed his breath, started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

Lou Qingxiao was waiting for Guan Lue to come back to accompany her for dinner, but at seven o'clock she suddenly received a call saying that he would not come back for dinner, and there was something urgent to deal with.

"Then I'll take the dishes to the kitchen and reheat them." Sister Xin was going to take the dishes on the table, Lou Qingxiao called her to stop.

"No, just remove these."

"But you haven't eaten yet."

"Don't eat."

"How can this work?" Sister Xin was anxious, "Sir, if you don't come back to eat, you have something to do, Miss Lou, you have to eat some."

"I can not eat."

"You have to eat if you can't eat it. How about I go and heat up the soup, so you can have a bowl of soup anyway."

"No need, I really don't want to eat." Lou Qingxiao pulled the wheel of the wheelchair, turned around and went to the elevator.

Sister Xin looked at the table full of dishes and was a little troubled: "Then is the gentleman coming back to eat?"

"Probably not anymore, you should tell someone to take it away." After speaking, the elevator door closed.

Guan Lue stayed in the apartment in the park that night. Ye Tan called him at about ten o'clock in the evening, telling him that the matter of Yaba had been settled, and that he would stay in Yunling for the time being, and also call Fan Qingyan in Tengchong. hello.

Fan Qingyan kept saying on the phone that there was no problem.

Originally, Yaba was not from Fan Qingyan, he belonged to Chi Feng's subordinates before, but now Guan Lue wanted to use Chi Feng's people, but he greeted Fan Qingyan, which clearly implied some information to him, Fan Qingyan was very happy, naturally Pi Dian agreed.

Guan Lue hung up Ye Tan's phone, sat in the living room smoking a cigarette, and slowly rubbed the fingers of his left hand. The bullet between his fingertips had been warmed by him. It was this bullet that penetrated into Tang Jingcheng's body. I will always remember the expression on her face when the bullet passed through the flesh.

Her body was tied to a pillar and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth. She couldn't cry out or move, but the eyes staring at Guan Lue were black and white, and that one look was enough to kill him many times.

Guan Lue put the bullets into the box, took off his coat and went out.

The few people guarding the corridor of the ward probably didn't expect Guan Lue to pass so late, two of them dozed off on the chairs, two were squatting in the corner smoking, and only one was left to guard the door.

Seeing Guan Lue approaching, the man was so frightened that his legs trembled, he was in a daze for a long time before he lowered his head and shouted: "Ninth brother!"

The two sleeping on the chairs stood up abruptly when they heard the "Ninth Brother", and they were so frightened that they bent down before they could stand still.

Guan Lue didn't say much, just asked the person at the door: "Are you asleep?"

"You...You mean Miss Tang?"

Guan slightly glanced coldly, and the man immediately replied with a sullen head, "She's asleep. The doctor gave her an injection of painkillers this afternoon. She seems to be sleeping soundly tonight."

"Have you been restless the past few days?"

"It's not that she's not stable, it's just that the wound hurts so much that she can't sleep, and basically has to toss around until dawn before squinting for a while."

Guan Lue began to rub his fingers irritably again.

The man peeked at the expression on Guan Lue's face, and was bored for a long time. Seeing him standing at the door, he tentatively asked, "Ninth Brother, do you want to go in and have a look?" He stretched out his hand to open the door for Guan Lue.

Guan Lue stopped him: "You stay at the door, I'll go in by myself!"

The facilities in the advanced ward are very good, and the decoration is warm enough. I just frowned when I closed the door and walked in. The light inside was dimmed, and there was only a small dim light on the bedside. The smell of disinfectant and medicine was too strong. , as if one could smell a decadent and desperate breath in the air.

Guan slightly put his hand in his trouser pocket into a fist unconsciously, and walked towards the bed.

It was only a few steps away. He walked very slowly and lightly, for fear of waking up the person on the bed, and finally moved to the head of the bed and sat down. Tang Jingcheng suddenly snorted, frowned, and moved a little closer to Guan Lue. It was found that there was a dense layer of sweat on her forehead.

No wonder Yaba would cry like that when she came back to see her.

The person on the bed was already extremely thin, his face was bloodless, his eye sockets were sunken, and his cheeks were particularly protruding.

The breath in Guan Lue's chest reached his throat all of a sudden, the swelling made his throat tight and painful, and it took him a while to recover.

Tang Jingcheng groaned again in his sleep, nightmares haunt her, she was also hell when she fell asleep, her uninjured left hand rested on the quilt, her five fingers clenched tightly on the quilt, her fingertips turned white , she didn't give up, as if she wanted to dig a hole in the quilt.

Guan slightly couldn't see it anymore, and held her left hand, she was still struggling, her fingers were trembling in his palm.

Guan Lue only felt the sticky cold sweat on her hands. The heater in the ward was turned on so high, but her hands were still cold. Looking at the person on the bed, their brows relaxed a little. Did the nightmare come to an end?
Guan Lue was about to take out a tissue to wipe her sweat, but the fingers in his hand suddenly twitched, Tang Jingcheng's eyelashes trembled under the beam of light, he was flustered, and it was too late to leave.

Tang Jingcheng slowly opened his eyelids...
