Feng Shuai didn''t speak, but got into the car behind Wu Mian.


    Wu Mian drives, Feng Shuai sits in the passenger seat, and Chu Zhixi sits in the back. Feng Shuai obviously relaxed after getting on the bus, and the gravel put too much pressure on him.


    "Mr. Feng, are you sick at home or a friend..."


    "Don''t call me that, Miss Wu. Just call me Feng Shuai." Feng Shuai was a little reserved. He specially learned about Wu Mian''s resume before he came. Although the information is incomplete, those events and locations seem like myths to him, a university lecturer.


    "OK, I''m not polite. You are..." Wu Mian asked half a sentence.


    Feng Shuai was silent for a few seconds and said, "teacher Wu, when I had dinner yesterday, I heard a friend of Medical University say that you treat congenital heart disease for free?"


    "Yes." Wu Mian nodded.


    "Can you do anything?"


    "It depends on the situation." Wu Mian explained, "if the problem is not big, it is suggested that the child should have surgery after the age of 2. If the condition is very serious, we must have surgery immediately. Let''s see the situation."


    Then Wu Mian glanced at Feng Shuai and asked, "Feng Shuai, it doesn''t look like you are short of money. Let''s be honest, I want only 5000 sets of free consumables. If you have medical insurance, you''d better go."


    Feng Shuai understood the meaning of Wu Mian''s words. He was embarrassed and tangled. He bowed his head and didn''t know what to think.


    "If you have something, just say it directly." Wu Mian asked, "you''ll be home in a few steps."


    "Miss Wu, that''s right." Feng Shuai heard Wu Mian''s words and refused. He was indecisive. He was a little flustered and immediately explained, "he is a friend''s child. He is 8 years old. He has a congenital heart disease, but I don''t know the specific situation."


    "Oh?" the corners of Wu Mian''s mouth rose, showing a smile.


    There are too many flaws in Feng Shuai''s words. It is obvious that he concealed what he knew, but Wu Mian didn''t ridicule or even just "Oh".


    There was silence in the car. The light of the street lamp and the shaking of the leaves on the tree tops were mottled and colorful. They crossed in front of us, flowed into the long river of time, and then disappeared.


    After nearly a minute of silence, Feng Shuai summoned up his courage and said, "Mr. Wu, I''ll tell you the truth. I hope you can accept my friend''s children for hospitalization."


    "Well, you said." Wu Mian nodded.


    "I''ll start from the beginning." Feng Shuai''s voice has some vicissitudes and helplessness. "My home is a rural area 300 kilometers away from the provincial capital. When I was a child, I studied every day in order to get into the University and stay in the city."


    "One day, the aunt next door brought back a little girl named Xiaoying. We became friends."


    "She had a heart attack. At that time, I was young and didn''t know. I just felt that the blush on her face was very beautiful. Her life experience was very tragic. Her father cheated, and her mother hacked Xiao San with a knife. Then her father hacked her mother with a knife, and her father went to jail. The uncle in the village divided up her house, but no one wanted her. Finally, she was taken home by a distant aunt and became my neighbor."


    Wu Mian listened quietly.


    "The conditions of her aunt''s house are also general, and her own children. Later, I went to college and left. Xiaoying stayed in the countryside and married. A few days ago, I heard my mother say that Xiaoying died. When I went to fetch water from the well, I fell on the edge of the well and died."


    "It was summer vacation. I went back to my hometown and... Wanted to attend her funeral."


    "I didn''t know until I got home that Sakura''s man had died in a car accident three years ago. There was an 8-year-old girl at home who said she was ill and was adopted by another relative."


    "I thought about taking a look. It was like seeing Xiaoying when I was a child. As a result..." Feng Shuai said, holding his hand into a fist, so hard.


    Wu Mian and Chu Zhixi just listened quietly without interrupting Feng Shuai''s words.


    "After I went, I saw the son of the family beating her. An 8-year-old girl was almost interrupted."


    "Bastard!" Feng Shuai scolded fiercely.


    "Later?" asked Wu Mian.


    Feng Shuai seemed a little excited. Instead of talking, he bowed his head and kept silent.


    After a few minutes, Feng Shuai sighed gently and said, "later, I pulled the man away and took the child to the hospital. Unexpectedly, they chased him to the hospital and said I kidnapped the child."


    "I''ve been suing with them a few days ago. You don''t know about the countryside. It''s really unreasonable. They''re going to ask... Alas, I finally spent 5000 yuan to redeem my child, so I brought her back."


    "But after I brought it back, I made a mistake. You said that my daughter-in-law had to break my dog leg when I brought the child home." Feng Shuai squeezed his eyes and nose together and said in embarrassment.


    "Well, indeed. You think, what would you do if your lover brought back a child?" Wu Mian said with a smile.


    From oneself to others, the metaphor of Wu Mian is very appropriate.


    "Oh, Mr. Wu, what you said is reasonable." Feng Shuai sighed again and said, "first I put the children in my students'' bedroom and asked them to take care of them. Then I went home and explained to my wife. I wanted to talk about how miserable the children are. People have compassion. But I forgot one thing..."


    "You won''t tell me about 5000 yuan." Wu Mian glanced at Feng Shuai suspiciously.


    "..." Feng Shuai sighed, "yes, I said something wrong. After my wife knew it, she turned against me immediately."


    "Are you all right... I mean you haven''t been killed by your lover." Wu Mian asked with a smile.


    "Brother, how can you be killed for 5000 yuan?" Chu Zhixi asked puzzled.


    "When I have time to explain to you, I''d better take my father-in-law and listen to what the old man said." Wu Mian said with a smile.


    "Cut, my father won''t hide private money." Chu Zhixi said positively.


    Wu Mian and Chu Zhixi said a few words, and the atmosphere in the car was much better.


    What Feng Shuai just said is a little depressing and heavy. We all know that human joys and sorrows are the norm, but no matter who is unwilling to live in this atmosphere every day, even if Feng Shuai said the past in the car, he feels a little blocked.


    "Mr. Wu, I''m worried too. I said something wrong yesterday. My daughter-in-law kicked me out because of private money. When I drank with my friends, I knew you could operate on the child for free. I thought about doing surgery first to cure the child''s congenital heart disease, and then."


    "I drank too much yesterday. I had a hangover during the day and ran over to have a look at it at night. Looking away, I thought it was a mysterious organization that specializes in experiments."


    "You think too much," said Wu Mian with a smile. "The experiment is also done, but not in the hospital."
