Xu Bai was sitting on the stool beside the hospital bed, with a gentle expression on his face.
A faint smile slowly unfolded from his weathered face, as if it had always been there and never disappeared.
His eyes were indifferent, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there seemed to be a kind of convincing magic power:
"That year, just such a protective suit was sold at a sky-high price. Some smart people even sold the hat and clothes of the protective suit separately. Guess how much this protective suit could be sold for?"
"Things have passed, and people can only see a line of words in past memories and books, recording history that has happened but has little impression. There are even some people who think they are clever and doubt whether the whole thing happened.
I came here to grandstand. Little did we know, there were so many brave people who stayed in that period of history forever..."
Xu Bai just sat there and said in a calm tone.
Some are like muttering to oneself.
Some of them seem to be depicting pictures, but the real pictures have not been revealed yet.
Liang Xiaojie was his best audience and looked at Xu Bai with difficulty.
These words came out of his mouth with emotion.
But his tone didn't change at all, it was still as light as water, and the smile on his face was no longer as warm as the smile he had just met, it was now a little bitter.
He shook his head and continued:
"Sorry, it's hard to recall, and I got off topic."
"Let's start with this white protective suit. Things happened very suddenly at that time, and the whole situation reached its worst state. A doctor hurriedly called me and asked me if I had a mask and protective clothing? At that time, I
I happened to be working on a project, and I had a large amount of medical equipment on hand, including masks and protective clothing. I thought it was a normal order, so I quickly said yes, and wanted to sell the equipment I had.
Unexpectedly, the doctor interrupted me rudely and asked me how many masks and protective clothing I had. I didn’t know at the time that the masks and protective clothing outside had been sold to extremely shocking figures. According to the original market price,
Reported it to him.
..."
Let’s talk about this.
Xu Bai paused and felt a little uncomfortable in his throat.
The bitter smile on his face became a little thicker:
"This was the first time I heard a grown man cry and say thank you to me on the phone. He kept saying thank you. I was completely ignorant and confused, and even suspected that the other person was not mentally normal.
He asked for the address and contact information of my warehouse, then hung up the phone.
It wasn't until I walked out of the door that I realized that the whole world seemed to have changed.
There were no vehicles on the road. Pedestrians wearing masks were hurriedly dragging their backpacks and food and walking scattered on the street. Everyone's eyes were wary. I wanted to have breakfast.
It was closed, so I wanted to buy some food, but it was all sold out, so I wanted to take the bus, but found it was out of service.
Overnight, everything turned upside down!
Soon, I was also forced to wear a mask. Due to the special nature of the project, my mobile phone was not connected to the Internet. After I was connected to the Internet, I saw the news of the city being blocked. What is the concept of that? It has not happened for many years.
It can be said that what has happened has made everyone feel in danger and panic. The whole city has become so quiet that it is terrifying. The only sound that can be heard is the ambulance passing by quickly from time to time.
Masks and protective clothing became the most valuable items that year.
The medical equipment in my hands has become a scarce resource, and every piece of it is priced astronomically!
It's like standing on the cusp of the storm, on the edge of sudden wealth.
Thinking of the doctor who came to me to order masks and protective clothing, and then looking at the entire empty street, I felt a little lucky that I live next to the warehouse. I can pick up the goods at any time. At least I don't have to worry about the masks that others are in short supply.
There is even a surplus.
The doctor arrived faster than I expected. An ambulance hurriedly parked in front of my warehouse. He was wearing some yellowing protective clothing, and his face was already eroded by sweat under the transparent mask. When I opened the warehouse
After opening the door and revealing the mask and protective clothing, he burst into tears again with excitement and thanked me repeatedly.
It can be seen that they are really short of these things.
I helped them move the masks and protective clothing into the car. While moving, I asked him jokingly, masks and protective clothing are sold at sky-high prices outside. You are lucky to meet me!
If it had been a little later, I might have become a millionaire.
The casual joke made his face froze, and he quickly expressed his attitude to me: Brother, I'm sorry, I can't reimburse you for your loss now! I will replenish you with my salary after a while!
Later, I found out that he was the vice president of the city hospital.
Their hospital's supply of protective clothing is tight.
After finishing what I was doing, I went to their hospital to serve as a volunteer.
There were quite a few people who went with me. To be honest, everyone was quite worried when I went there. They tried their best to think of the worst-case scenario. When they got to the hospital, they realized how tense the situation was. There was a huge crowd of people.
We all wore masks and were waiting for treatment. Although we were scared, seeing the doctors wearing protective clothing and still sticking to their posts, everyone immediately felt like they had a backbone.
When the wards were full, new wards were opened in the corridors.
The corridors were full, the corridors were full, and the whole hospital was packed with people.
Protective clothing cannot be taken off casually.
Once it's taken off, it's useless.
Materials were in short supply. Clothes that were originally suitable for four hours were worn by them for eighteen or twenty-four hours. The deputy dean...that is, your father back then, his yellowing clothes
I wore the protective suit for a full forty-eight hours. I didn't eat or drink. I couldn't even pee or poop. I just held it in with all my strength.
When I saw him in the hospital again, I asked him, how could you hold it in for such a long time? Can you bear it without eating or drinking?
He smiled bitterly and said: Brother, you are not in your position and do not think about what you want. You have never seen the person fall in front of you. You are a doctor, but you can't save it. When you can't save it...how can you eat?
Go down to eat,

I thought what he said was somewhat exaggerated, until I saw the people standing in the hospital, eager for treatment; the people with blue faces who fell to the ground; the medical staff who were sweating profusely and whose faces turned pale but still resisted.
It was only when I was on the 'battle line' that I realized how serious and dangerous the situation was. After all, I was also from the army. Seeing that situation, my ankles became weak. Just your father, he, no, it was them, wearing protective clothing
They rush in desperately. Wherever there is danger, there will be their white figures. Are they afraid?
Scared to death!
They will also get sick! They are also made of flesh and blood, but they still go up without hesitation.
Tell me, is the salary of an ordinary nurse high?
No matter how high it is, can it be as high as her life?
.....
No matter old or young, as long as you put on white clothes, when you see them, you will feel that you are saved.
When they all give up, maybe the whole city will be doomed.
Fortunately, they did not give up on us. They persisted, stood on the first front, and held the line of defense for us.
Many of them will stay on this front forever.
Soon, one heavy truck after another, loaded with food and supplies, broke through the city's blockade arrogantly. Regardless of the danger, they delivered the scarce supplies and food to every corner of the city.
Their cars are painted in bright red!
It was a color that made countless people cry with emotion.
We are not given up!
We are short of supplies, and supplies from all directions will be fully subsidized!
There is a shortage of people. Those people in white clothes from all over the country, with their chests puffed out and their fists clenched, are resolutely rushing to fight with us!
The shining five-star light never forgets us for a moment!
How could China's thousand-year-old blood be wiped out by the cold front?
We can block people, we can block cities, but we can never block the heart of unity and friendship of a nation. It is the love of compatriots engraved in the bones, and it is the blood of support from all sides when we encounter countless crises.
With the transportation of truck after truck, supplies are no longer in short supply.
One bus after another brought the soldiers in white, who rushed to the front line without hesitation, with their beloved motherland and people behind them.
With unity, the cold front finally ushered in the dawn.
I once found deserted streets in a city at night.
On top of the tall buildings, those people were shouting to come on.
Whenever they see a bus carrying medical support passing by, they will shout frantically in front of their respective windows.
That's when they cheer each other on and cheer each other up.
This is the photo I took at that time!”
Xu Bai's words stopped here.
He took out his mobile phone and showed the photo to Liang Xiaojie.
Liang Xiaojie moved his eyes with difficulty and saw it.
On the screen, the city under the night view is so beautiful.
But there was not a single figure.
There was light shining on the tall buildings, and it seemed that the people he described could be seen shouting for cheers.
Hearing this, Liang Xiaojie felt his nose was a little sore.
Although Xu Bai didn't know what he said, and he didn't explain it clearly in many places, scenes of medical staff rushing to support him could not help but appear in his mind. Images of people gathering together in the hospital and wards being opened in the corridors.
.Scenes of medical staff and patients cheering each other on in the shelters. Pictures of the drivers wearing masks, traveling thousands of miles to transport supplies, and showing determination on their faces as they passed the blockade, and... above their carriages, hanging
That flash of bright red, hunting in the wind, showing off its sharp edge.
His voice was calm, and when he told these things, he was in a state of recollection.
As the fragmented memories are pieced together, people can more truly understand the scene at that time, as well as what heroic decisions and efforts my father made at that time, and his sense of mission to rush to the first line of resistance without hesitation.
Looking at the tears falling from the corners of Liang Xiaojie's eyes.
Xu Bai smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to brush it off for him:
"Don't cry, this is what your parents have experienced. Every generation has its own mission. As for our parents' generation, it is even more heartbreaking. You must know that the suffering they suffered is just to let people know.
We will never experience it again. What you remember can be cold words or a document recorded in a certain paragraph...but please don't forget it.
Without this past, there would be no history.
How can we withstand the power of this lineage?
When one party is in trouble, all parties support it. It is never empty talk. It is a tradition that has been passed down through thousands of years of history.
...
Sorry, I'm a bit verbose.
I haven’t even told you how I met you.
The first time I met you was on the second day after the city was completely unblocked.
After your father finished arranging the work at hand, I received an order from my superiors to drive and escort your father home. On the way, he chatted with me and I learned that his dearest mother had left. I heard that before leaving
Every now and then, I kept calling his name.
I couldn't help but shed tears when I heard this.
I glanced at him and found that this time, he didn't cry.
He smiled bitterly and said that he was numb with tears during this period.
I sent him home, and your father knelt down in front of your grandma's mourning hall, kowtowed several times, and called mother.
Everyone present cried.
He didn't cry, but he fainted several times.
Because of this battle, he did not catch up with the old man for the last time. He wanted to cry but could not shed tears. He was so sad that he was inevitably hurt more seriously.
He told me that he felt very guilty for not being able to be by your side at this time.
When I went out to smoke, I saw you next to the ambulance.
Your eyes were red, and you ignored everyone, hiding behind the car and wiping your tears.
Even though you didn't understand anything, you still chose to forgive your father when you saw how weak he was."
The voice fell slowly.
Xu Bai's tears also fell out and streaked his cheeks.
Through the protective mask, the impression in Liang Xiaojie's mind seemed to begin to overlap with the figure in front of him.
Under the slightest hint of correspondence, his eyes trembled slightly in disbelief:
"Xu!? Uncle Xu?"
"Child, it's me!"
Xu Bai nodded and smiled gently.
Afraid that he would be too excited, I quickly pressed my hands to signal him not to move.
go on:
"The root of your father's illness also came from that time. He just carried it and continued to fight on the front line. It wasn't until he realized that he was completely incapacitated that he confessed his situation to me.
Call it a coincidence or not, I'm not disappointed.
Relying on my youth and courage, I rushed forward after accepting the mission. Although I had a lot of combat experience, I was unlucky. I was shot in the liver and penetrated directly. The doctor who treated me said it was useless. Your father is thousands of miles away.
He came over, and without saying a word, he took me to the key hospital where he was, which was where he was at that time.
He told me sincerely that he was not alive anymore, but his liver was still fine.
Save my life, no problem.
I didn't agree, but I was still scheduled for surgery and his liver was replaced.
Later, I found out about this guy.
I actually donated everything I could and signed a lot of agreements!
My second life was given by your father.
You must have hated him all these years, right?
I hated him at the time, but now, I feel a little lucky that he gave me this liver."
"In this way... I can save you!"
Xu Bai finished speaking with a smile on his face.
