Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

After all, Lian Qiao is young and in good health. Although he had a high fever for a few days after the splenectomy, he survived after taking a bunch of advanced antibiotics.

Except for the fact that he lost weight and had a large scar on his stomach, he looked like a normal person—or rather, pretended to be a normal person.

He tried to show that he was in good shape, and finally got his mother's consent to allow him to sit by the honeysuckle bed to accompany him instead of being locked in his own bed.

He thought about it day and night these days, wanting to see the honeysuckle across the bed. At this time, I finally saw it, but my heart was twisted into a ball.

The operation of honeysuckle was very successful, but it was not for nothing that she was seriously ill. Xu Rendong, who returned to the ICU, also developed a high fever. He had used all the medicines he could use, but his body temperature was still uncontrollable, hovering around 40 degrees. Lian Qiao's mother guessed that it was a central fever, so he put an ice blanket machine on him.

The working principle of the ice blanket machine is very simple.

This is for high fever to avoid burning out the brain.

Although the cooling effect of the ice blanket machine is good, the problem is that it is too ice. From time to time, Lian Qiao stretched out his hands on Honeysuckle's back, touching his ice-like back, and was always worried that he would suffer from the root cause of back pain. Fortunately, as time passed, the treatment gradually became effective, the number of honeysuckle fevers decreased, and the working frequency of the ice blanket machine became lower and lower.

But Honeysuckle never woke up.

Lian Qiao's mother said that it was because the injury was too heavy, the internal environment of the body was out of balance, and he had not yet recovered. Therefore, his heartbeat has been very fast, so fast that people worry that his heart will burst from fatigue in the next second; his lung function is also extremely poor, and he can't do without a ventilator at all. After a long time, he will develop pneumonia. The overall situation is not very good.

Honeysuckle will not be able to get out of the ICU in a short time, and even Joe is better off. So he dragged a pipe and stayed by the bedside of Honeysuckle, acting as a full-time escort.

However, even Joe is considered an ICU patient, and it is really outrageous to let the patient accompany the patient. Fortunately, even Qiao's parents are from the hospital, and even Qiao's mother said, "Ignore him and let him go, he is atonement." My mother said so, what else do others have to say?

So Lian Qiao healed her wounds while accompanying Honeysuckle.

Time flies.

During this time in the ICU, Lian Qiao has fully seen how they treat patients. It's not to say that patients are not respected. Some medical operations really cannot be respected.

For example, nurses turn patients daily to check for bedsores.

Because the nutritional status of bedridden patients is not very good, in case of bedsores, it will be difficult to heal, and in severe cases, it will even rot into the bones. Therefore, as long as there are conditions, the patient must be turned over frequently to avoid long-term compression of the same place and affect the blood supply.

The most common place for bedsores is of course the buttocks.

At the beginning, Lian Qiao felt that it was a very obscene thing to look at people's butts every day. Under the repeated bombardment of his own mother and nurses, Lian Qiao also began to gradually accept the nursing routine of the ICU, and cooperated with the nurses to turn over.

Honeysuckle has been lying in the ICU for more than a month, but her **** is still as smooth as ever, with no red marks at all. Even the head nurse praised Lian Qiao for taking care of her well, which reduced a lot of pain for Honeysuckle.

Turning over was actually fine, but what bothered Lian Qiao the most was another daily check: GSC score.

This is a score for the state of consciousness of a comatose patient, involving items such as whether it can respond, whether it can cooperate with opening eyes, whether there is pain response, etc. Honeysuckle in a coma is naturally unable to respond and open his eyes, as for the pain response...

I want to pinch the tits! It is said that it is more sensitive to pain here, so...

Even Joe's eyes almost popped out when he saw the nurse do it for the first time. After the head nurse finished pinching one end and the other, she also invited everyone to come and pinch together to see the symmetry and asymmetry of the response.

Lian Qiao only felt that Honeysuckle's little head was about to be swollen by them, and was distressed. The head nurse said with a smile: When you are in a coma, we also pinch you like this.

Lian Qiao: "…"

ICU patients really have no human rights!

Although there are no human rights, it is true that the ICU can provide the best treatment. Even Qiao saw that Ren Dong's condition was getting better day by day, and the consciousness score turned out to be higher. From the initial lack of response, to the moment when the eyeballs can move under the eyelids, and finally he can snort vaguely, even Qiao's heart is like the rejuvenation of the earth, the temperature has gradually recovered, and the face is also Finally got a smile.

Lian Qiao couldn't stop shaking his head when he saw it.

Oh, this kid really likes him.

Even Qiao, regardless of herself, was someone who had undergone major surgery and stayed by the bedside of Honeysuckle day and night. On the one hand, it was to **** him, and on the other hand, he was afraid of getting out of the elevator, so he wanted to go in with Honeysuckle.

After a long, long time, Honeysuckle finally opened her eyes.

Lian Qiao was so moved that he announced on the spot that he would eat fast and recite Buddha, and was beaten by his biological parents. Although Ren Dong woke up, her physical condition was still very poor. She was transferred to the general ward and stayed for a long time before being discharged.

Lian Qiao was so happy that he wanted to set off firecrackers, but his parents were very calm. After all, they had expected this result long ago, and the release of Ren Dong from the hospital was considered a psychological burden for them.

They always feel guilty about the honeysuckle in their hearts, after all, the honeysuckle fell from the building to save their bastards. In the end, the brat just had a spleen cut off, but the honeysuckle jumped across the gates of **** repeatedly, tossing for more than two months.

Fortunately, Honeysuckle recovered and was discharged from the hospital in the end. If something happened to Honeysuckle, even Joe and his parents didn't know how to atone for it - even worse, they didn't even know who to turn to Atonement.

Hey. Honeysuckle is so pitiful. Not only did he have no father or mother, but he was also bullied by their pig.

What a pity!

Because of long-term bed rest, the muscles of honeysuckle have been greatly atrophied, and the whole person is thin and out of shape, like a skeleton. Lian Qiao could not wait to carry his princess upstairs, and gave up after Ren Dong's stern refusal.

They went back to Lian Qiao's house. It was a working day, and even Qiao's parents couldn't leave, so they sent them to the door of the hospital. After seeing them get in the car, they went back to their respective departments and busy themselves. At this time, the house was empty.

For the past two months, even Joe has not been home for a day. Even Qiao and his parents often squatted in the ICU, so this family was not popular for a long time, and the furniture, tables and chairs were cold. However, in order to welcome the honeysuckle, their house has already invited someone to clean it in advance, and fresh vegetables and fruits are also prepared in the refrigerator, just waiting for the honeysuckle to come home and enjoy life.

Lian Qiao helped him into the room, holding him in his palm for fear of falling, and holding him in his mouth for fear of melting. Ren Dong was not used to him like this, and let him do his own thing. Lian Qiao said with a smile that serving you is the only thing I have to do now.

Honeysuckle asked: "Where is your live room?"

Lian Qiao: "The contract with the platform is terminated."

Honeysuckle frowned slightly despite her expectations. Lian Qiao hurriedly said: "I'm not only canceling the contract for you. Don't we still have a copy that we haven't finished, so I don't have the heart to broadcast it. Let's talk about it when all the dust has settled."

Honeysuckle was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Actually I also resigned."

Lian Qiao said: "I know. The leader of your company has visited you. He also asked me when you will be better and whether you are willing to return to their company."

Honeysuckle was noncommittal, just smiled and said, "Oh, both of us are homeless now. I'm going to trouble your parents."

"No trouble, no trouble, I have enough money saved." In order to reassure him, Lian Qiao took out his mobile phone and opened the balance on the spot to show him, "Come, count, there are many Zero! I'm rich, don't worry!"

This way of coaxing people can be said to be very straightforward.

Honeysuckle's heart softened into a pool of water, and when she had nothing to say, she tugged at Lian Qiao's sleeve and said, "Hug me."

Lian Qiao was hooked by these words, X fire suddenly came up, and he threw himself on the bed like a hungry tiger. But he was afraid of hurting him, so he moved to his side with extreme caution. Gently cover him with a soft quilt before taking him into his arms.

Honeysuckle struggled with little strength, but couldn't break free, wrapped in the quilt and muttered: "Don't sit across this..."

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, then coughed awkwardly: "I'm used to aseptic operation, I want to do a safety isolation before touching you..." He lifted the quilt and got into the quilt, and hugged the honeysuckle Full of arms, he carefully tucked the quilt for him, for fear of a cold wind pouring down his back.

Honeysuckle felt his worries and unease these days from his almost paranoid cautiousness. My heart is like a hot water bag, warm. Ren Dong buried his head in his chest, feeling his breath for a long time, and suddenly wanted to tell him that he could actually hear the sounds around him.

He heard Lian Qiao repeat the machine every day to ask "when will he wake up", and he heard the doctor shouting and giving orders when other patients were being rescued. He heard Lian's mother say "Give him a shot, drag the bed and don't let him sleep here", and he heard Lian's father angrily scolding Lian Qiao, "What's the use of knowing what's wrong now, when he wakes up Kneel down and apologize to him."

Although he didn't feel anything physically, he knew from Lian Qiao's ramble that he had been drawn a few more tubes of blood today, and how many needles he had been stabbed. He knew that Lian Qiao would turn him over and massage him every day to avoid bedsores and muscle atrophy as much as possible. He even vaguely felt that when his heart stopped beating again, Lian Qiao and other doctors came to give him chest compressions, and there seemed to be hot tears falling on his chest.

Day and night in the ICU, the revolving lanterns flashed in front of the honeysuckle. Countless emotions rolled around in my chest and passed around my mouth, and in the end there was only one sentence left:

"I miss you too these days."

Lian Joe stroked his hair lightly. After a long time, a crying "um" word came out.

Honeysuckle raised her head slightly and said, "I want to kiss you, but I don't have the strength."

Lian Qiao immediately held his face and kissed him.

The corners of Honeysuckle's mouth twitched slightly. After kissing enough, he said, "I want to hug you, but I don't have the strength."

Lian Qiao rolled around on the bed holding him.

Enough is enough, Honeysuckle said: "I want to go..."

Lian Qiao suddenly turned pale and covered his mouth: "No, you don't want to! If you think about it, you will be locked in the text!"

Honeysuckle: "...I just want to go to the bathroom."

Lian Qiao: "…"

Honeysuckle: "What do you think I want?"

Lian Qiao: "..." Why did you become better at driving after lying down for two months!

After that, of course, the two did not drive, but went to the bathroom together in harmony and integrity, and then began to watch TV in harmony and integrity.

After staying in the ICU for a long time, my ears are usually filled with the beeps of various monitors and the sounds of doctors and nurses. At this time, Ren Dong was finally able to watch TV, and even the commercials felt particularly good-looking.

Looking at it with relish for a while, Ren Dong suddenly remembered something, turned her head and asked, "By the way, how did you come out in the end?"

"Ah?" Lian Qiao was peeling the pills for honeysuckle, but she didn't respond when she heard the words, "What?"

"It's...that..." Honeysuckle felt sleepy for a long time and his brain was not bright, and after thinking for a while, he remembered the name of the copy, "...the Temple of the Five Zang-organs."

"Oh." Lian Qiao suddenly realized, "That. I killed the gentleman and came out."

Honeysuckle opened her mouth and wanted to ask for details, but her heart suddenly twitched, thinking of something more important.

"You should use my kidney at that time." Honeysuckle said, "Because I'm already in a coma, it won't hurt. Besides, at that time you were not sure whether you would be able to use it immediately after sacrificing the kidney. Open the door and leave, what if there are other dangers behind? You were the only fighting force in your team at that time, you shouldn’t…”

Even Joe interrupted him: "I understand the truth, but I can't do it."

Honeysuckle was taken aback.

Lian Qiao lowered her head and peeled the oranges, and repeated calmly, "I can't do it."

Lin Dong sighed: "I know you feel bad for me. But you also know that as soon as the copy is released, I will..."

Lian Qiao asked, "What if it was you?"

Honeysuckle was stunned again.

Lian Qiao put the orange in his mouth and said with a smile, "If you were awake at the time, would you dig my kidney?"

Honeysuckle felt her heart clenched all of a sudden. At this moment, he suddenly realized - yes, if he switched sides, if he was the one who needed to make a choice at that time, then he would have dug out his kidney without hesitation.

Injuring Lian Qiao was far more painful than his own injury. He is willing to sacrifice everything for Lian Joe.

But conversely, when Lian Qiao sacrificed for him, he accused Lian Qiao of being unreasonable?

What is he doing...

Honeysuckle's heart was filled with self-blame, so she could only sigh and whisper, "I'm sorry."

Lian Qiao suddenly smiled bitterly: "What do you apologize for? It's obviously me who should apologize."

Honeysuckle was inexplicable, showing a confused look full of question marks. Lian Qiao said, "If it wasn't for me messing around, how could we have fallen from the seventh floor? In the end, it's all my fault..."

That's what I was talking about. Ren Dong smiled and said, "I forgot if you didn't mention it."

Lian Qiao sighed and hugged him. The man in his arms was as thin as a skeleton, holding his hands, which made his heart aches.

"I don't know how to compensate you... When you entered the ICU, I felt that it was not a pity for me to die 10,000 times, but what's the use of blaming myself, I have no way to endure hardship for you, I have no way to atone for my sin... I really... a kidney is nothing, if it can change you to be safe, I can dig out anything for you..."

He is repenting. He was repenting for his reckless impulse, but the big mistake had been made, and apology and remorse were useless.

The injury of honeysuckle in reality cannot be fully recovered, and can only be raised slowly. He will be left with sequelae, and he will suffer from illness for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Xu Rendong suddenly had a very strange idea in his heart: He thought that even Joe would be bound by guilt from now on. Even Joe will always be kind to him and never leave him.

…But is this really good?

Guilty is self-torture, and he knows it. He also caused Lian Qiao to die tragically because of his own mistakes, because of doubt, willfulness, and ignorance. At that time, he was so guilty that he could not wait to die.

So he understands Lian Qiao's mood very well.

However, unlike himself, Lian Qiao will not be reborn, he has no chance to make up for his mistakes, he will always bear this self-blame, and he will be a prisoner willingly.

This is unfair.

This is not the love that Xu Rendong wants.

So he sighed, rubbed Lian Joe's hair, and said, "Let's not bring this up again. Let's not blame ourselves, okay?"

Lian Qiao's eyes were red: "But..."

Xu Rendong thought for a while and asked, "Do you still feel sorry for me and want to be punished?"

Lian Qiao nodded.

Xu Rendong: "Then stretch out your hand."

Joe held out her hand obediently without even thinking about it.

Xu Rendong grabbed his hand and took a bite on the back of his hand. Lian Qiao bit his lip in pain, but against his physical instinct, he put his hand in his mouth, as if hoping that he would bite harder.

Xu Rendong loosened his teeth, saw the deep teeth marks on the back of his hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, the penalty has been passed. Let's turn the page."

Lian Qiao remembered what Ren Dong said to him when he first entered the elevator:

"Don't apologize. When you get home, I will punish you well."

In fact, Honeysuckle never blamed him. Even the so-called punishment just made him feel better.

The emotions that have been suppressed in my heart these days, finally broke through the barrier and rushed out. Lian Qiao threw herself into Ren Dong's arms and burst into tears.

Lian Qiao's cry made Honeysuckle laugh.

Like a child. Honeysuckle hugged him, bowed his head and kissed gently on top of his head.

I don't know how long it took, Lian Qiao finally cried enough, but still leaned in his arms, greasy and crooked and refused to let go. In fact, Ren Dong was not willing to let him go. I haven't been close to him for so many days, and Ren Dong also thinks about him terribly.

Until the honeysuckle sat with a sore back, she moved her body slightly, Lian Qiao immediately noticed his exhaustion, and took a cushion for him to lie down.

Honeysuckle laughed: "I'm not that weak. By the way—" He remembered the unfinished topic before, "Is the gentleman dead?"

When the gentleman was mentioned, even Qiao became angry and gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, he is too dead to die."

Honeysuckle sighed: "I always thought he couldn't die any longer."

Lian Qiao: "This time is different. This time I saw his death on TV."

"TV?" Honeysuckle was quite surprised. Few of the people who died in the copy in the past were on TV. The dungeon usually arranges a very natural way of death for the deceased in reality. For example, if Xu Rendong and the others fail to clear the customs this time, it will become a fall from the building. Of course, it seems to outsiders that they committed suicide by suicide, and they are homosexuals. If you want to be on TV, you can.

Lian Qiao took out his mobile phone: "I'll show you."

He clicked on a video, it was news two months ago, which happened to be the day they fell from the building.

In the news, an elementary school teacher was found hanged in the teachers' apartment. The door to the room was locked, and the only key was in the teacher's pocket. Along with the key was a suicide note, which was identified as the teacher's handwriting. This shows that the teacher is indeed committed suicide.

The more I look at the honeysuckle, the more my heart grows.

Judging from the photos given by the TV station, the teacher who committed suicide is indeed a gentleman. But... how could he kill himself?

A man like him would kill himself?

Lian Qiao affirmed: "It is indeed suicide. I also suspected it, so I asked acquaintances to go to the police to inquire about the news. The result is indeed the case. There is no doubt that it was suicide, surveillance has proved it, yes The gentleman bought the rope and locked the door by himself. Unless the real world is also haunted, there is no second possibility."

Honeysuckle was silent for a moment: "He is a teacher, I guessed, but he is an elementary school teacher... Are the children he teaches okay?"

Lian Qiao smiled: "It's okay. In fact, he is very cowardly in reality. I have read the suicide note in his pocket, and it is full of crying. He was bullied by the parents of the students and suppressed by the leaders. , anyway, he committed suicide after being severely beaten by the society. The writing is good, and those who see it are sad and those who hear it cry."

Honeysuckle burst into anger and scolded: "Sad ass. Is it justified to take revenge on society?"

Lian Qiao shrugged: "I think he just wanted to pull people's backs before he died. After this incident was exposed, the media and the Internet scolded those parents and leaders with human flesh, which made everyone They all lost their jobs. It was a big mess."

Honeysuckle: "Then why didn't you take the suicide note?"

Lian Qiao sighed: "It's useless. This suicide note was brought into the copy from reality, I took it from the copy, and returned to his pocket as soon as he got out of the elevator. He obviously You are prepared. If you don't die, you will take revenge on the society in the copy, and if you die, you will take revenge on the society in reality with a suicide note. Anyway, you have a dark mind, and you will have to take revenge on the society no matter what."

After listening to the honeysuckle, she felt uneasy and wanted to beat the gentleman to death a few more times.

The gentleman's affairs did not affect the honeysuckle for long. At night, even Joe's parents came back. Ren Dong's attention was instantly diverted.

"Lian..." Lian Dong faced Lian Qiao's parents, stammered for a long time, several titles were on the tip of her tongue, and finally she could only shout twice, "Director Lian, Director Qiao. "

The two chief directors also felt a little embarrassed. Patients who have just been discharged from their own hands during the day are waiting for them at home at night. They also felt that their identities could not be changed for a while, and they did not know how to speak.

Lian Qiao quietly shook Honeysuckle's hand under the dining table, and encouraged the authentic: "Don't be so raw, you can change your name."

Lian Qiao's original intention was to resolve the embarrassment, but he never expected that the three people present felt like they were struck by lightning.

Honeysuckle: "..." What should I call it, father-in-law or mother-in-law or...

Lian Qiao's mother: "..." Am I a mother-in-law or a mother-in-law?

Even Joe's dad: "..." I don't want to know if my son is above or below!
