Baorun is a big hit in Jingting Hospital. Dean Qiao also appreciated his excellent skills in bundling.This spring, the hospital kept up with the situation and advocated humanized management. The slogan was: Jingting Hospital—Happy Harbor.In order to create a happy harbor, we must first eliminate the pain of patients as much as possible, especially in the intensive care unit. Nurses are used to restraining patients with metal instruments with belts and gears. The pursuit of speed and rough tactics have caused many patients to suffer physical injuries. From a class of patients From the gray building where the patients lived, to the yellow building where the second-class patients lived, the screams of the patients echoed from morning to night, and passers-by on the road could hear them, which brought a negative impact on the reputation of the hospital.After the research and analysis of the hospital management, the critically ill area was listed as a reform pilot, and took the lead in promoting humanized painless bundling. In this way, Baorun was invited to the gray building as an amateur expert to give more than 30 male and female nurses Had an observation class.

He was somewhat nervous in the morning, but fortunately he was proficient in his skills, and the nurses gradually stared at his hands enviously.He demonstrated the nine kinds of knots he created himself, and the techniques are clear and smooth. The nurses generally have a basic foundation in binding, and most of them learned the pineapple knot, which represents the highest difficulty, on the spot.Dean Qiao asked the patient how he felt in detail. Is the pineapple knot painless?Patients unanimously reported that the pain was still a little painful, but it was much more comfortable than the old-fashioned binding method.

Baorun worked hard all morning, and the on-site observation meeting in Huilou was a success.Dean Qiao invited Baorun to a small restaurant for lunch and beer.Grandfather was honored to accompany him. During the meeting, Dean Qiao also praised his grandfather, praising him for using his body to contribute to Baorun's excellent art. Grandfather said humbly, what should be done is to serve the people. In the afternoon, they moved to Huanglou, and the subjects of the bondage were the second-class patients.Baorun was relieved of the burden and was in a relaxed mood. Unexpectedly, an accident happened midway. The fairy carried a basket of milk bottles and somehow sneaked into the scene to watch the excitement.Baorun heard the clink of the milk bottle, turned around and saw the fairy figure, and panicked.The eyes of the two collided in the crowd, it was a confrontation between Yuanjialuzhai, her expression changed from panic to curiosity, from curiosity to contempt, it took at least a second.Suddenly, she giggled, and everyone turned to look at her. She covered her mouth knowingly, and was still laughing, her shoulders kept shaking.Dean Qiao went to chase her away. This is an observation meeting, what's so ridiculous?You have to laugh out loud, don't influence us here.She curled her lips and agreed, "I won't laugh anymore, and if I laugh any more, I'll die."Then she picked up the basket and went out of the pile of people. After everyone walked out of the ward, she poked half of her face back and expressed her feelings loudly. Is he considered an expert?Are you here to watch him?She made a face to the crowd and said, you people, you have such a good appetite.

Bao Run stood there stunned, seeing her face flicker, the milk bottle jingling, and she went downstairs.She was too arrogant, and her arrogance seemed to prove his uselessness.He chased it out and yelled at the back, be careful, just wait and see!Besides, he didn't know how to deal with her for a moment.Afterwards, Baorun's mind was flustered, and his hands and hands were flustered. The rope lost its logic and direction on the patient's body. That's it, today's observation ends here. Everyone was stunned, watching Bao Run angrily walk out of the ward.They guessed that the old gardener's granddaughter had lost his interest, but they didn't know what kind of relationship the two young people had.Dean Qiao felt ashamed, so he casually commented on Bao Run. This kind of young man's quality is too poor, and he cannot be praised by Liu Adou after all.Ask everyone again, who of you knows what is the relationship between him and the fairy?Ever been in love?A female nurse said, how could they fall in love?The fairy looked down on Baorun, guess what the fairy scolded him behind his back?Haha, the fairy called him an international idiot.

Since spring, Bao Run has often been active near the old gardener's shed, and he is groping for the most effective way to negotiate with her.Sometimes he took his grandfather by the hand and looked aboveboard, and sometimes he wandered around alone, somewhat sneaky. With the shed as the center, his range of activities is about 50 meters, mainly to deliver some messages to the fairies. Those messages seem a bit messy, using chalk, red bricks and cinders respectively, and smeared them on the road leading to the iron house. On both sides of the trails.Grandfather thought he was writing slogans, and asked him if there was another movement outside. With so many slogans, who was he trying to criticize?He said it was not a slogan, but a notice.Grandpa said that notices should be written on the big blackboard and hung at the gate. Who can see you write in these secluded corners?He prevaricates his grandfather casually, and I will notify only one person without notifying everyone.The grandfather asked, the notification is for everyone to see, how to notify one person?Who do you notify?What's the notification?He said it's useless to tell you, you don't know her.Grandfather looked in the direction of the tin house, looked at Baorun, his eyes suddenly lit up, I knew it, why didn't I know her?Your mother wronged me, I didn't infect you, you can't blame me for losing your soul, I have already seen it, the granddaughter of the old gardener stole your soul!

He once rewrote a famous poem of a revolutionary martyr on a pile of prefabricated cement slabs.Life is not precious, and love is not expensive. If it is for money, both can be thrown away.He thought that this great poem would attract her attention, and sure enough, after two days, he saw her note: idiot, it depends on how much it is.He was dissatisfied with her cynical response, so he added a line with cinders, eighty yuan, and it must be paid within three days!His commanding tone led to an even more impolite reply, too little, no pooing here!She doesn't talk about civilization, and he is not polite anymore. There is no writing on the prefabricated cement board. He found a thick French plane tree, wrote a fairy's name on the trunk with chalk, and made a lot of derogations for this name. Sexual comments to express his indignation.monster.fraud.Bitch.Female A Fei.Ugly.Afterwards, he went under the sycamore tree to check the fairy's feedback, and found that all his messages had been erased, and there was actually a cardboard hanging on the branch of the sycamore tree, with a row of angry big characters written on it: Safety is the most important place. Run and dogs off limits!

The dialogue between them goes astray, the game becomes less colorful and more vicious personal attacks.Baorun decided to go all out and make the last vote.He went to the canteen of the hospital to buy a pen and a bottle of ink, and planned to paint the slogan directly on the wall of her house so that everyone could recognize her true face. This time, he successfully saw the fairy.The fairy is behind the window, and the faint sound of music floats out of the room.She may be sitting or lying down, her face and upper body are hidden behind the curtains, with only one leg resting on the table in front of the window, shaking gently with the rhythm of the music.The sun was shining on her legs.That leg was wrapped in popular black bodybuilding pants, slender and mysterious.The feet are bare, and with the help of black contrast, they appear delicate and pale.Her toes danced on the table, talking to the wind and playing with the sun. Scarlet nail polish was newly painted on her toenails, and her five toes spread restlessly, like five rose petals blooming in the wind, bright and dazzling.She greeted Baorun with her five toes, and also disturbed Baorun. He panicked a little, forgot his reason for coming, and squatted down inexplicably.

He didn't know why he squatted down.Peeping was harmful, peeping was guilty, and he felt like a screwed-up alarm clock that was about to ring a mighty bell when the mainspring snapped.Beside him is the abandoned big upside-down tank, with an irregular oblate hole in the bottom of the tank, he didn't know what to do for a while, looking inward with his eyes stuck to the hole, the inside of the tank was pitch black, nothing could be seen. invisible.He tried to spit into the hole, but there was no echo from the saliva, and there was no movement in the tank. He disturbed a big mosquito with mottled feet, which flew out of the tank and bit him hard on the face.Therefore, he remembered that during the ten minutes of squatting by the tank, his legs were not sore, but his face was itchy.

At first, it was just an old gardener who was busy in the small vegetable garden. He held a handful of leeks in his left hand and a handful of vegetable seedlings in his right hand. The soil is not good, no matter how fertilized it is, the vegetables just don’t grow well.Grandma Fairy opened the floral curtain and came out, holding a rattan clapper in her hand. She might have heard some unusual sound, and she stood in front of the door and looked around with eyes like an eagle.She found nothing suspicious on the ground, looked up at the sky again, and finally expressed her unique opinion on the sun. This place has bad soil, bad people, and even the sun is not good!She said to the old gardener, you see, the sun has also lost its soul. It is sick all day long, and it has no energy at all. It doesn't smell good in the sun.

A cotton quilt was hanging out in the crooked sunlight. The quilt was lined with green stripes on a white background, and a puddle of blood was left on it. Although it had been washed, the light red stain was still clearly visible.Bao Run saw the old woman walking between the two rows of clothes drying poles, holding up the cane and patting the quilt.She began to criticize the fairy. She had never seen such a lazy girl who refused to pat the quilt. The girl is so lazy, who will she marry in the future?Listening to that music box from morning to night, her soul is gone, let that box suck it in!Crack, crack, crack.A familiar scent of gardenia was photographed by the old woman, mixed with the scent of cream and Seagull hair cream.He can smell the fragrance.He easily identified that it was the fairy's quilt, and it was the fairy's fragrance.

Her scent swirls enchantingly in the air.She was just behind the window, that foot was not far from his.Five toenails were behind the window, not far from him.Five red petals stuck out the window and opened towards Baorun.This is their close world, he is here, but she seems to be outside the world.Everything was unexpected, he came for revenge, but he squatted blankly beside a large tank, his face was itchy, his head was a little dizzy, his shadow curled up on the ground, thin and thin, like a puddle of humble water stains.He raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun in the sky was really sick, he felt that he was sick too, and he was mean, why not mean?He obviously came for revenge, but now he was looking out of her window, missing her. The old people finally entered the house, and there was the sound of dishes colliding in the kitchen. It seemed that the family of three was going to have lunch.Bao Run noticed that the old gardener conveniently stuffed a few vegetable seedling leaves into the rabbit cage.Only the rabbit cage was left outside.The rabbit cages, under castor bushes, are painted sky-blue wire and have recently been hung with a pink heart-shaped sign.Two rabbits, one gray and one white, bathed in the spring sunshine.Her rabbit, her pet, her friend, was so close to him.His confused mind suddenly brightened, and a contest that was on the verge of despair suddenly had a new direction.Seeking fairness from the two rabbits was his inspiration, and it was also the simplest choice. He left the big tank, sneaked over, and took the rabbit cage away. The rabbit doesn't bark.Unlike their unruly masters, rabbits never fight back.Their docile, onyx eyes gaze upon an intruder with no fear, just a hint of curiosity.The two rabbits were bouncing in Baorun's hands, one looking up at the sky, the other hugging vegetable leaves, like a quiet couple.The rabbit cage was much cleaner than he had imagined. The cardboard at the bottom of the cage had just been cleaned, and the grass and vegetable leaves looked fresh. When he smelled the cage, the rabbit's smooth fur was beyond his imagination. The fishy smell that animals often have.Now, he finally saw clearly the heart-shaped plastic sign on the rabbit cage. It should have been cut from a plush toy, and three Chinese characters were printed on it: I love you. He was walking around the hospital with the rabbit cage, and the little pink plastic piece touched his knee from time to time. In the name of plastic, it spoke to a strange knee, telling blind and empty feelings.I love you.I love you.I love you. The sky blue rabbit cage was so striking that almost everyone in Jingting Hospital knew that it was a fairy's rabbit cage. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he took off his coat to cover the rabbit cage.Since he regards the rabbit as a hostage, he must treat the rabbit well. He is going to find a suitable place for the two rabbits.He went to a secluded place and got into the small woods in the northeast corner of the hospital.Everyone knows that woods and meadows are the hometown of rabbits, but these two rabbits are a bit special. Besides eating grass, they have another mission.He tried to hang the rabbit cage on the branch of a jujube tree, the rabbits rose into the air, whether they were happy or frightened, the rabbit's onyx eyes did not show anything, it was his own feeling that something was wrong, the rabbit cage was not a bird cage , should not be hung on a tree.He carefully inspected the surrounding terrain and remembered an old ginkgo tree with an abandoned inspection well under the tree. He used to take his grandfather for a walk and tripped over it several times. For the rabbit cage, it was an ideal shelter.He found the ginkgo tree, and it was strange that the abandoned manhole disappeared from under the tree.When he was looking around, he heard someone else's footsteps in the woods. He deliberately avoided the footsteps, but he didn't expect the footsteps to come after him.Stop, I am the police!The man issued an exaggerated warning, Bao Run was startled, hearing the strange voice, turned around and saw that it was Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng followed him like a ghost into the woods. What are you doing here with someone else's rabbit cage?Good work.Liu Sheng said, it's only been a few days since the date, and you've been feeding the rabbits for her? Bao Run calmed down, thinking about Liu Sheng's guilt, he spewed out a series of obscenities, cursing at Liu Sheng.Liu Sheng blinked and said, did you eat something wrong?I acted as a matchmaker for you, and you still scold me?Baorun said, what kind of bullshit matchmaker, get out of here.Liu Sheng said, when you make your words clear, I'll get out immediately. How did she offend you?If you don't make it clear, how can I settle it for you?Baorun was on the fire, turned around and cursed, and even came to brag with me, what can you settle?Flatten your dick and go.Liu Sheng is quite self-restraining, he actually laughed, it is not easy to smooth out the dick, it will take a long time.Baorun was embarrassed to scold Liu Sheng again, so he raised the rabbit cage and looked at the two rabbits angrily. He said, it doesn't matter if I tell you, she swallowed me eighty yuan without even saying a word, and I will deduct two rabbits from her. hostage! The whole story was too complicated, it would be embarrassing to tell it, and it was best to lie, but Baorun was not good at lying, and unable to withstand Liu Sheng's repeated questioning, Baorun roughly revealed what happened during the trip to the Workers' Cultural Palace.But honesty on one side brought suspicion on the other side.Liu Sheng stared at Baorun slyly, with a sly smile on his face, I couldn't understand.What roller skates?What eighty yuan deposit?Is your relationship unusual, have you been on it?If you have sex with her, this matter will not be settled. What does it mean to be up, Bao Run is very clear, the boys on Toon Tree Street all know what it means to be up with a girl.He blushed to defend himself, why did he fuck her?It's not a big beauty, what can I do?I didn't even touch her hand. Still don't understand.Liu Sheng stared at Bao Run with piercing eyes, without even touching his hand?Why would she swallow eighty yuan from you? Baorun couldn't prove his innocence and innocence, so he could only swear, if I told a lie, the whole family would die, not a single one would be left.After making a poisonous oath, Liu Sheng had no choice but to trust Bao Run.Liu Sheng said, well, if she doesn't give you face, she just doesn't give me face. If she plays with you, she plays with me. Although Liu Sheng's words were exaggerated, his attitude gradually became clearer, which gave Bao Run some comfort.The rest is the relationship between her and Liu Sheng, which has always been Bao Run's knot in his heart. He spied on Liu Sheng and said, what exactly did you do to her boss?You two, often hang out together?Liu Sheng said that she didn't go out a few times, this girl is very capricious, sometimes she is called to put on airs, it is inconvenient to take her, and she stares at you like a follower and asks, where shall we go to play tomorrow?annoying.Baorun said, where are you all going to play?Do you take her out roller skating, or to the movies?Liu Sheng said, I'm not interested in doing these things with her, I'll take her to the East Gate Ballroom to dance and dance.Baorun said, what Xiaola?Liu Sheng said, Xiao La is Xiao La, you don't know Xiao La, what kind of girl do you want to catch?Seeing Baorun's bewildered face, Liu Sheng took a few dance steps on the ground. Have you heard of Sailor Dance?Do you know Jitterbug?This little guy is a bit like a sailor dancer, but also a bit like a jitterbug. This little guy is the most popular outside now.Bao Run imitated Liu Sheng and jumped a few steps, but he was still confused, what kind of sailor Jitterbug, what Xiaola?Wouldn't it be a face-to-face dance?Liu Sheng said, the veneer belongs to the veneer, and the small pull belongs to the small one. The meal should be eaten one bite at a time.Baorun pondered for a while, and understood a little bit.Ask again, I heard that Dongmen Ballroom can do face-to-face dance, did you take her to try?Noticing the strange look in Baorun's eyes, Liu Sheng smiled, waved his hand and said, I know what you're going to ask, don't fucking think about it, she's underage, you haven't fucked her, and I haven't fucked her either, You are a beast, I am not much better than you, she likes to dance with me, I have never touched anywhere except her hands. In this way, they seem to have exchanged their hearts once.After the heart-to-heart exchange, friendship suddenly appeared, and they saw a ray of friendship from each other's faces.Later, Bao Run lifted the rabbit cage on the ground and followed Liu Sheng to the water tower. Liu Sheng chose this wonderful place to house the rabbit, and Bao Run was very satisfied.The water tower is at the edge of the woods. The closed tower body built with red bricks is covered with dark green vines. The cylindrical pump house at the end of the tower is like a giant’s hat.The sound of their footsteps startled a brown-yellow long-tailed wild animal, which jumped out of the water tower and quickly disappeared into the grass.Baorun thought it was a weasel, but Liusheng insisted it was a fox.Bao Run asked Liu Sheng, do foxes want to eat rabbits?Liu Sheng said, rabbits, who doesn't like to eat them?If people want to eat it, foxes must also eat it, but don't worry, I know where the safest place is, just listen to my arrangement. The hospital welded an iron door to the water tower, but it was not installed for some reason. It leaned formally against the door frame, and entered with one step.Baorun followed Liusheng, carrying the rabbit cage, up the high iron ladder, and reached the pump room at the top of the water tower.There are caves in the pump room, beyond Baorun's imagination.A circular passage surrounded the huge water tank, half of the passage was bright and the other half was dark, there were two cigarette butts thrown in the corner, and a roll of tattered straw mat was erected and leaned against the water tank.Baorun asked Liu Sheng why there were straw mats, and who came here to sleep?Liu Sheng sneered and said, you are such an international idiot, who would come here to sleep?Those who have worked so hard to climb up here are here to do that thing, that thing, understand? Baorun carefully inspected the surroundings, and placed the rabbit cage under the window hole, which is considered the brightest area of ​​the pump room.Two rabbits, one gray and one white, curled up quietly in the cage, their ears moved slightly.I heard that rabbits have very sensitive hearing. They must be able to distinguish the humming sound of the water pump and the trembling sound of the wind blowing the forest outside the water tower.Baorun's ears were also very sensitive, and he could vaguely hear the beating of two rabbit hearts. For rabbits, this may be the most desolate corner in the world, no grass, no people, only the sound of peaceful water.Liu Sheng went down first, and Bao Run picked up a few fallen vegetable leaves from the ground and put them back into the cage.He walked to the iron ladder, looked back, his heart was suddenly filled with a huge emptiness, and his head was a little dizzy.The pink heart-shaped sign on the rabbit cage unfolded automatically at some point, and a gentle red light pierced the darkness of the pump room, telling him: I love you.I love you.I love you. I love you.
