Ch 2: Hospitalization
Two days later, in a ward of Xizhao Town Health Center, Xi Yang slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the electric light above his head, finding it quite magical, hanging there and actually emitting light, a good treasure.
Then he checked the memories of the original owner of this body. This thing is called an electric light, and it is a common thing, a dime a dozen.
He smiled wryly to himself, this is not his original world. Looking down, he saw a tube inserted into his hand, this thing is called an IV drip! He slowly got up and looked around. Next to him was a middle-aged woman sleeping. At this time, her head was wrapped in white cloth, and she was wearing a gray and white hospital gown!
At this time, outside the door, a woman wearing a blue dress, this person’s appearance is very dignified, tall nose, almond eyes with a smile, exudes a kind of intellectual beauty. Her long hair was combed into a neat bun, which added a bit of dignity.
She glanced at Xi Yang on the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed on her own, and said gently, “Xi Yang, how are you?”
Xi Yang looked at the other party, thinking about the memory of this woman in his mind. This person is Wen Rou, Xi Yang’s homeroom teacher and math Teacher. In Xi Yang’s consciousness, he still respects this teacher very much. After thinking about it, he clasped his fists and bowed, “Teacher Wen, I am very happy that you came to see me. I am fine, don’t worry!”
Teacher Wen Rou frowned slightly as she looked at Xi Yang. What—Teacher? I’m a woman! Can’t you tell the difference between men and women? She said with a displeased expression, “Call me Teacher. ‘Teacher’ is used to describe men. Didn’t your Chinese teacher teach you that?”
Only then did Xi Yang realize that here, ‘Teacher’ is generally what a wife calls her husband. It is indeed inappropriate for me to call you ‘Teacher’. He smiled awkwardly, and bowed again with his fists clasped, “I misspoke just now, please forgive me, Teacher Wen?”
Teacher Wen Rou looked at the gauze wrapped around his head and sighed, “Alright, let’s not talk about this! Tell me what happened?”
Xi Yang heard this, touched his forehead, and saw that his head had been wrapped into a rice dumpling. Thinking of the original owner of this body being murdered last night, his expression sank slightly, and the air in the ward became oppressive.
“This matter…!”
Seeing Xi Yang hesitating for a long time, Teacher Wen Rou interrupted, “You were indeed too careless about this matter. What were you doing running to other dormitories? Han Cheng has already told me that you went out at night, slipped, and fell on your head. Zeng Xing and Xu Jia carried you back to the dormitory! After you recover from your injury, you have to thank them!” Saying that, she took out a few receipts and looked at them, “I paid your medical expenses in advance. I also know about your family situation. Your parents are out working and can’t come back! There’s no one else at home? I’ll help you claim student accident insurance for these expenses!”
Xi Yang looked at Teacher Wen Rou who was talking to herself, his eyes stayed on her face, and he asked, “Teacher, do you think they told the tru…!”
Before he could finish speaking, a man in a police uniform walked in, came to Xi Yang’s bed, and asked, “Are you Xi Yang, student?”
Interrupted by the other party, Xi Yang’s face was unkind, and he thought about the identity of this person in his mind. People who wear this kind of uniform are police officers, specializing in arresting bad people, similar to constables.
He hesitated and nodded.
“Hello, I am Zeng Xuancheng, the chief of the Xizhao Police Station. I am here today to understand your situation!” Zeng Xuancheng said. A kind smile appeared on his face.
Teacher Wen Rou got up and said, “Chief Zeng, did Xi Yang do something wrong? I am his teacher, you can talk to me about it first if you have something to say!”
Zeng Xuancheng shook his head. If I tell you about this, and you tell his parents that my nephew beat someone like this, will my nephew Zeng Xing still want to study here? He said with a smile, “I’m just understanding some things, I won’t make things difficult for Xi Yang!” Saying that, he looked back at the bed behind him. The middle-aged woman was gone at some point!
He looked at Teacher Wen Rou and said, “Teacher Wen, why don’t you avoid it for a while, I’ll say a few words to Xi Yang!”
Teacher Wen Rou looked at him in confusion when she heard this, thought about it, and said, “Okay!” After saying that, she got up and left the ward.
At this time, only Xi Yang and Zeng Xuancheng were left in the ward.
Looking at the burly figure in front of him, full of Qi and Blood, Xi Yang judged that this guy’s strength was not ordinary.
Zeng Xuancheng closed the door, sat on the edge of Xi Yang’s bed, and said in a flat tone, “I am Zeng Xing’s uncle. I already know the ins and outs of this matter. I’ll give you one thousand Dragon Country Currency, and this matter will be over! What do you think?”
Xi Yang did not answer, looked at the other party and thought for a moment. This is a police officer, not guarding justice, but helping criminals evade responsibility. Is this the rule of this world? After a long time, he said, “Chief Zeng, how many days have I been living here?”
Zeng Xuancheng replied, “Three days!”
A smile appeared on the corner of Xi Yang’s mouth, “If I beat Zeng Xing like this, would you agree to pay one thousand Dragon Country Currency in compensation?”
Zeng Xuancheng looked displeased and threatened, “I am the chief of the police station. Even if you are not an adult, I have ways to make you regret it for the rest of your life. My bottom line is fifteen hundred Yuan. If you don’t agree, I have my own way to help my nephew clear his name!”
Xi Yang looked at the other party’s expression. Of course he didn’t want to agree, but at this time he had no better choice. His parents are out working, and he only has five Dragon Country Currency a week, of which four Dragon Country Currency and fifty cents are used to buy food for three meals a day, and the remaining fifty cents are used to buy ballpoint pen refills. He can be said to be penniless. He doesn’t even dare to take medicine when he is sick? It’s a miracle that he can live!
He took a deep breath and nodded, “Okay, I agree, but you have to give me the money!”
Zeng Xuancheng nodded, “Of course!” He took out his wallet from his pocket, counted fifteen one-hundred Dragon Country Currency bills and handed them to Xi Yang.
Xi Yang took the money he handed over, counted it, and hid it under his pillow.
Zeng Xuancheng smiled, took out something that looked like a ballpoint pen with his right hand, and said with a smile, “I have recorded our conversation just now, remember what you said today!” After saying that, he turned around, opened the door and left.
Looking at his leaving back, he thought to himself, there is no better result for this matter. Refusing will not only anger the other party, but may also involve Teacher Wen Rou. If such an accident occurs at the school, Teacher Wen Rou, as the homeroom teacher, will definitely be blamed. Of course, the most important thing is for the sake of the money. The original owner of this body has been in a state of malnutrition for a long time, which has led to his poor physique. I am new here, and livelihood is the first priority. If I continue to live like this, not to mention cultivation, it would be good to be able to live! Now that I have this one thousand five hundred Dragon Country Currency, I can at least take good care of my body for the next few months.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the window, and then thought that it was too abnormal for this Chief Zeng to hand the money to him so readily!
After thinking for a moment, Xi Yang decided to be discharged from the hospital now. No matter what the other party’s plan is, he will go home and hide for a few days first! See what tricks he plays?
After a while, Teacher Wen Rou came in from outside and said apologetically, “Xi Yang, you should rest for a few days first. There will be a weekly exam tomorrow, Friday. I have to go back and prepare. Since you are injured, stay for a few more days!”
Xi Yang smiled, “Teacher Wen, you have worked hard! Go ahead and get busy!”
After Teacher Wen Rou left, a woman wearing a white nurse uniform came to Xi Yang’s bed and took off the medicine on it. Then she said, “Xi Yang, your medicine for today has been given. You need to rest well for the next few days! By the way, you have to notify your parents to pay the medical expenses!”
Xi Yang nodded when he heard this, “Okay! By the way, I want to be discharged from the hospital today! Is that okay?”
The nurse heard this and said, “No, Doctor Hu said that you have just passed the dangerous period and have to stay for another month, otherwise there may be sequelae!”
Xi Yang smiled wryly to himself. I am an immortal in the Mahayana Stage of the Primordial Spirit. Such a small injury will leave sequelae. Do I still need my face!
Xi Yang shook his head and said, “Nurse, I want to be discharged from the hospital today. I am already in the third year of junior high school. Tomorrow is the weekly exam, and I have to go back to take the exam!”
At this time, Doctor Hu, who was making rounds, walked in. This was a slightly fat middle-aged man. He came to Xi Yang’s bed and asked, “You want to be discharged from the hospital?”
Xi Yang looked at the man in front of him and said, “Yes, there is an exam tomorrow, and I have to go back to school to prepare. It is not easy for my parents to earn money for me to study, and I don’t want to disappoint them!” This was the best excuse Xi Yang could think of.
Doctor Hu said dissatisfied, “You want to take the exam, it doesn’t matter! The school is not far from here, you can come back for an injection after the exam, why are you being discharged! I’m telling you, your injury is very serious…”
No matter what the other party said, Xi Yang still went through the discharge procedures and returned home on foot.
