Blazing Armour - Chapter 124
On New Year’s Eve, Ren Ying arranged the squadron and drove to the hospital to pick up his father.
When he arrived at the hospital, he explained his intention to the front desk and went straight to the ward. He had been here many times and was already familiar with it.
Halfway through, he suddenly bumped into a man, Dr. Peng, who had received him several times before.
“Captain?” Dr. Peng seemed in a hurry. “Didn’t you say on the phone that you wouldn’t arrive until four or five?”
“Oh, I finished my work in advance and came early. I’m afraid I’ll be late and get stuck in a traffic jam.”
“Why don’t you sit down for a while? The nurse may be cleaning the old captain.”
“Day?”
“It seems so.” Dr. Peng looked at his watch. “Just sit for a while.”
“OK, I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
“Turn left at the end of the corridor.”
Ren Ying finished using the bathroom, pushed the door and came out.
There is a window at the end of the corridor. Under the window is the parking lot. When Ren Yu passes through the window, he casually wants to see if he can see his car here, but a figure passing through the parking lot attracts his attention. That figure looks familiar.
Ren Yu stopped and looked carefully. The floor here is not high, and his eyesight is 5.2. When the man turned to open the door, he recognized that it was gong Yingxian’s psychologist, Dr. Pompeii.
Why is he here?
However, after thinking about it, Gong Yingxian participated in this hospital, and it is normal for Dr. Pompeii to appear here.
Ren Yu didn’t think much, so he turned and walked to his father’s ward.
When he came to the ward, a nurse happened to come out of it.
“Sister, have you cleaned it up?” Ren asked.
“It’s done. You can go in.”
Ren Ying pushed the door in.
Ren Xiangrong was sitting in a chair basking in the sun. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and said in some surprise, “Why are you here?”
“Today’s new year’s Eve, I’ll take you to the squadron for the new year.” Ren Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. He just called yesterday and forgot today.
“Oh, it’s the new year. How can it be the new year? It’s too fast every year.”
“Many families of soldiers have come this year, but it’s lively.” Ren Ying packed up his father’s daily necessities.
“Chinese New Year… Where’s your mother? Went shopping?”
“… well.”
Ren Ying took his father’s things and pushed his wheelchair out of the ward.
Dr. Peng immediately led two male nurses over: “Captain Ren, let’s just come. Let’s take the old captain to the car.”
“Thank you. It’s been a hard time for you.” Ren Yu shook hands with Dr. Peng. He was really relieved and relieved to put his father here.
“It’s all right. You have a good new year and come back at any time after the new year. There are people here at any time.”
“OK. Happy new year.”
“Happy new year.”
Along the way, Ren Xiangrong looked out of the window in silence.
When his father was ill, he had all kinds of manifestations, including hysteria, joy, sadness and loss, and silence. He was used to it. He asked in a relaxed tone, “Lao Ren, how are you doing recently?”
Ren Xiangrong didn’t speak.
“You see, you’ve been in the hospital for a few months. The food is very good. If you’re fat, I can’t. no matter how delicious the canteen is, you’re tired of eating every day.”
Ren Xiangrong turned around and asked seriously, “what kind of dumplings does your mother make today?” “There must be leeks and cabbage. You don’t like leeks. I don’t like cabbage. Maybe some shrimps will be put this year.”
“What is skin shrimp?”
“Well, shrimp.”
“Oh, I have to find sister Wu. No, it’s not easy to buy from her little Wu. It’s not easy for the orphan and widowed mother. She’s ill again. We have to take care of her business often.”
Ren Yu was stunned. When his father got sick, his memory jumped irregularly. He thought it was common that he was still in school, but there was one year that his father would never go back, that was 19 years ago.
Because nineteen years ago, his father experienced the most painful year of his life. That year, he lost four comrades in arms overnight. He was buried under the ruins for eight days and seven nights. I don’t know if the self-protection mechanism is working. His father’s memory never goes to that year.
But what I just said was 19 years ago.
Sister Wu was a self-employed person in a vegetable market and made a living selling dried sea goods. Xiao Wu was her son and one of his childhood playmates. Nineteen years ago, sister Wu suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. Xiao Wu, who was still in junior high school, dropped out of school to set up a stall for her. He didn’t have such a deep memory of other people’s family, but it was that year, which was also the most painful year of their whole family. He was deeply impressed by too many things that happened.
Ren Yu looked at Ren Xiangrong and said, “Dad, are your legs better?” In the explosion of Baosheng chemical plant, his father hurt his leg, which laid a curse for the inconvenience of movement after his old age. He wants to know whether his father’s memory is before or after the explosion. It’s a very cruel memory. His father can recall it calmly when he is awake, but if it’s not long since the explosion, it will have a great impact on his mood.
“Hey, I can’t go back to the past.”
Ren Ying listened to his heart and immediately became cautious: “it will be fine. The doctors said it will be fine.”
“It won’t be good.” Ren Xiangrong said sadly, “some injuries will not be good, just like people can’t come back when they die.”
Ren Yu looked at his father’s sad appearance and felt very uncomfortable.
Some days ago, he did have an impulse to talk to someone, and the only one who could understand his state of mind and was closest to him was his father, but he didn’t dare to go. He didn’t want his father to worry, nor did he want his father to recall the pain of losing his comrades in arms too much.
But his father went back to that year.
Seeing the traffic jam in front of him, Ren Yu pulled out an eye patch from his father’s bag: “Dad, put down your chair and have a sleep.”
Usually his father’s state can change after a sleep.
Ren Xiangrong also seemed really tired. He put down his chair back, put on his eye mask and soon fell asleep.
Listening to the even snoring, Ren was relieved. He didn’t worry about returning to the squadron, so he drove slowly and steadily
Back to the squadron, it was almost dark. Several soldiers came to help him put his father in a wheelchair. His father woke up and looked at the squadron in a daze. “Uncle Ren.” Qu Yangbo came over and bent down with a smile. “Are you tired on the road, hungry or not?”
Ren Xiangrong looked at Qu Yangbo for a while and suddenly said, “Oh, Xiaoqu.”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time.” Ren Xiangrong smiled, “how’s your father? I heard he had an operation some time ago?”
“Small surgery, very good, you look very good.”
“OK, are you married?”
Qu Yangbo said with a laugh, “Ren Yu hasn’t finished yet. I’m not in a hurry.”
“Go away, which pot doesn’t open, which pot to carry.” Ren Yu smiled and scolded, “Dad, don’t listen to him. This boy is very sweet. His girlfriend doesn’t know how many have changed.”
“Don’t tarnish my reputation, I tell you.”
Ren Xiangrong smiled.
Qu Yangbo helped Ren Yi push his wheelchair: “it’s good to see you getting better. I heard four fires say you’re getting fat?”
“Yes, I’ve gained eight kilograms. The hospital eats well.”
Ren Yu said with a smile, “it’s okay to be fat. Just don’t exceed the standard. You’re special now.”
“Hey, why did you come to the squadron…” Ren Xiangrong looked at the squadron’s dormitory and shook his head in frustration. “This brain is getting harder and harder day by day.”
“Who said that? The doctors said that the treatment was effective and that your brain was better than before.”
“Maybe. Anyway, they always let me play games and do some handicrafts. It seems to be better than before.”
“Can you and your patients get together for a table of mahjong?” Qu Yang said, “playing mahjong and moving fingers is especially good for the brain.”
“There’s mahjong. I’m learning.”
The squadron was very lively at this time. Some soldiers went home for the new year, but many relatives of left behind soldiers came to the squadron for the collective new year. As soon as they stepped into the squadron building, they listened to the fragrance of food and laughter all over the building.
Ren Yi pushed his father into the reception hall and received a warm welcome immediately. His father is also very excited. He hasn’t received so much support for a long time.
Dozens of people had a noisy New Year’s Eve dinner together, so they gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
After ten o’clock, Ren Xiangrong looked obviously sleepy. Ren Yi said, “Lao Ren, you go to my dormitory to have a rest and eat dumplings in the evening. How about I send them to you?”
“OK.”
Several people worked together to carry Ren Xiangrong into Ren Yi’s dormitory.
Ren Yi covered him up and poured a glass of water: “drink some water first.”
Ren Xiangrong drank water: “lively is lively, just a little tired.” “You haven’t seen so many people for a long time. It’s all right. You have a good rest. You can have fun anytime you want.” Ren Yu pressed his father’s legs.
“Well, Dr. Pang said that we should communicate with more people. The more lively the better.”
“Dr. Peng?” Ren Yi said casually, “did Dr. Peng get his doctor’s degree?”
“Not Peng, Pang, a foreign doctor, mixed race.”
Ren Yu was surprised: “Dr. Pompeii? Have you seen him?”
“Isn’t he a doctor?”
“He’s not your attending doctor.” Ren Yu felt a little strange. At first, there must be no Dr. Pompeii in the medical team provided by Gong Yingxian for his father. Alzheimer’s disease is a disease with pathological changes of the nervous system, and the role of psychologists is not great. How can Dr. Pompeii participate in his father’s treatment? At least he doesn’t know at all.
“Several doctors, I’m confused.” Ren Xiangrong said, “anyway, he came to talk to me several times.”
“I also talked today?”
“Today…” Ren Xiangrong hesitated. “I forgot. Did he come today?”
“What does he talk to you about?”
“He said he would help me recall those memories that impressed me, which would help stimulate my memory nerve to be active.”
Ren Yu’s heart was full of doubts. Dr Pompeii seems to have no reason to participate in his father’s treatment, perhaps… For scientific research purposes? But the general hospital will tell him in advance, “well, what do you remember?”
Ren Xiangrong sighed: “he always asks me about the two cases related to the palace family 19 years ago.”
Ren Yu’s hand stopped. Gong Yingxian once mentioned to him that he might use some memory backtracking method to his father to see if he could remember some details of the fire that year. He also agreed without hurting his father.
However, it was not a pleasant experience after all. If you want to do memory backtracking, you should also inform him. After all, all their previous treatment plans will communicate with him.
“If you don’t like it, just refuse next time.” Ren Yu said, “I know you don’t want to recall. Tell me everything you can remember.”
“Maybe, but the questions he asks always make me feel that there are many things I don’t remember.”
“For example?”
“For example… What mask, mask, he also showed me a strange mask.”
Ren Yu froze. “He asked you… Mask?”
“Yes, I really don’t remember what mask was written in the newspaper? How did he know? Anyway, I feel that I have had several dreams. The dream is just like the real one. It seems that I really returned to the fire scene of that year. Alas.”
Ren Yu’s face became more and more heavy.
you must be dreaming. Gong Yingxian once said that the feeling of deep hypnosis is like having an extremely realistic dream after waking up, and after a period of time, people will often recall the contents of hypnosis, which is easy to confuse reality and become trance.
Is it
No, it’s impossible. How could Dr. Pompeii deeply hypnotize his father without his permission? It’s illegal. They communicate with him every step of the medical plan and ask him to sign
sign.
Ren Yu’s body was suddenly cold and his face turned white.
