The die is cast. Whether I work or not is no longer important. What matters is that my illness torments me constantly. Even though it hasn't been made public yet, Biaoge has already started to avoid me. When they come to see me, they don't even dare to drink water, as if my whole body is filled with HIV.
I feel like time is dragging on.
Although I am not in that position, I still want to know who "accompanied" my article "Dongtai Village 'blood calamity' documentary".
Soon, even though the internal reference has not been decrypted, the event itself has no more secrets to speak of.
Following this, the deputy governor in charge of health in Jiangnan Province was removed from office, and the secretary and mayor of Ming Jiang City were transferred and demoted! There are even more lower-level officials who have been disciplined.
I have a kind of perverse mentality of taking pleasure in other people's misfortune, as if only in this way can I slightly ease the anger and frustration of being fired.
Day by day, I have not called Wei Hongxia once. Since things have come to this, let's part ways, and not see each other again.
But I didn't expect that, two months later, just when I was busy looking for a job outside of editing and compiling, I unexpectedly received her message.
That day, my pager rang, I looked at it, the phone number started with 69, it should be around the train station area.
I went downstairs to find a public phone and called back, a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice: "What's going on? I called your office number, they said you're not there anymore? Are you lying to me? You're not a reporter for River Report at all, are you?"
"Who are you?" I shouted over there.
The joy on the other end of the phone turned into coquetry: "You heartless person, you've forgotten me so quickly. I am your sister, Wei Hongxia!"
You seductive woman, how dare you come to see me at this time!
I am furious, as if not only "being infected with HIV" is her original sin, but also losing my job is thanks to her?
I roared into the phone, "You dare to come, I'll tear you apart!"
The person on the other end of the phone must have been frightened by my hysteria. She should be confirming whether I was joking with her, and then she was silent for a while and hung up the phone.
But this kind of venting makes me even more depressed. The "HIV" is like a mountain pressing on my heart, making it hard for me to breathe. A few days later, Biaoge brought me back a letter, with no sender's address on the envelope.
I opened it and found no letter paper, only a few hospital examination reports:
One of them is the result of an ultrasound examination: a fetus can be palpated in the lower abdomen, with a biparietal diameter of about 1.9cm; the fetal head is oval, with no obvious ventricular dilation; no obvious blood flow signal is seen in the fetal neck, the chest and abdomen are normal in shape, and no obvious fluid dark area is seen in the chest cavity; the fetal heart rate is about 175 beats per minute, with a regular rhythm. The spine is arranged in a bead-like strong echo, neatly arranged, and the fetal movement is good; due to the fetal position, local amniotic fluid, and other factors, the fetal limbs and facial features are not clearly visible; the placenta is about 2.6cm thick, located on the posterior wall of the uterus, and the largest amniotic fluid diameter is about 4.5cm; the four-chamber heart section of the fetal heart shows the presence of four chambers, with a normal left-right ratio.
Who is causing trouble? Why did they send me this thing?
Looking at the report, the heading reads: Wei Hongxia!
Is the child mine?
Am I that capable?
Is this possible?
There are a few more pages below, which are test reports: urine test, blood test, and a confirmed HIV antibody test report. I can't wait to see the key items:
All are negative!
I can't afford to explain to Biaoge: "Come with me to the hospital!"
The Internal medicine doctor looked at my tongue coating and said, "You have too much internal heat. Drink more water, rest well, and you'll be fine in a couple of days."
Then the doctor checked my armpits, looking puzzled: "Who doesn't have lumps there? That's lymph!"
Went to the urology department again. The elderly lady doctor asked in detail, "When did the itching and pain start? Did you have intercourse that day?" She made me take off my pants for a thorough examination, and finally gave me the result: "Just take it easy when you're with your wife next time."
The sun outside is so big, the sky is so blue, the leaves are so green, everything looks so beautiful...
I remembered the phone call from a number starting with 69 a week ago. I found a public phone and dialed the number with trembling hands. A woman answered, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"A week ago, a woman surnamed Wei contacted me using this phone. Where is she now?" I stammered.
"Who knows? This is a public phone. Many people make calls here. Are you crazy?"
Then the call was hung up.
I'm stupid.
She is my woman, and the child in her belly is mine.
Chapter Seven: Too late.
For the second time, at five in the morning, I boarded the train to Jiangnan. I didn't eat the free buns this time. At the long-distance bus station across from me, the security check was still being conducted by the fat woman who looked like an oil drum. I didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Until the next day at noon, I finally arrived at the health center in Wanji Town, Xikou County. I inquired about Wei Hongxia, and the guard told me, "Wei Hongxia is in the middle of a surgery for induced abortion, just went in!" I rushed in like crazy and stood in the courtyard, shouting, "Wei Hongxia, I'm Hu Ruoyun, come out quickly, don't abort the baby, I want to marry you!"
The doors and windows of each room were opened, and many people stared at me like I was a fool.
A woman in a white coat came out and shouted at me angrily, "What are you howling about? Wei official is in surgery and won't be out for a while!"
Oh no!
My eyes glazed over, and I arrived late!
I collapsed on the ground, feeling powerless.
A young nurse dragged me into an empty room, poured a glass of water for me, and then hurried off.
I sat there silently crying until I later fell into a deep sleep, feeling both tired and hungry. I don't know how long passed, but someone nudged me: "Hey, wake up, Wei official is out, you were crying and calling for her, right? Come with me." When I opened my eyes, it was that little nurse.
I followed him like a puppet. Stopping in front of a room, she pushed me and said, "Go in by yourself, Wei official is inside." I pushed the door open absentmindedly, and it wasn't a ward, but seemed to be the doctor's duty room.
The sound of water in the small room on the inside stopped, the door opened, and a familiar figure flashed out, it was Wei Hongxia. Underneath the white coat, her figure had become much plumper. I was surprised: Didn't you go to have a surgery for induced abortion?
She had a frosty look on her face: "Yes, I just had surgery, didn't I? What are you yelling about outside? Are we very familiar with each other?"
I disregarded her struggles and hugged her tightly: "It's all my fault!"
Finally, the woman's stiff body slowly softened in my arms, and she hugged me back, saying, "Are you here this time to tear me apart?"
I was speechless, and just held her tightly.
Epilogue
After work, I followed her to the county town to meet her parents.
Mom is fine, with a kind and compassionate demeanor, but Dad is not good, with a stern and cold attitude. He almost came up to give me two big slaps, saying, "You, a little brat, got my daughter pregnant and even said you wanted to tear her apart! Come on, try moving and see if I don't beat you to death."
I hung my head and admitted my mistake, "Uncle, I was wrong!"
This kind of man is also good, not holding grudges. He saw my good attitude and then directed Wei Hongxia's mother, "Go prepare two dishes, the two of us will have a meal together..."
In the evening, the elderly couple went to stay in another house, leaving only me and Wei Hongxia at home.
I hugged her and asked, "Why did you dare to give it to me the first time?"
Wei Hongxia replied, "Everyone who knows me knows that I used to be with someone who had that disease. No one dared to introduce me to anyone, and I couldn't find anyone locally. The first time I saw you, I thought you looked good... and you're a journalist."
I teased her, "Did you not have any feelings for the person you used to like?"
She pinched the flesh on my waist and said, "What do you think?"
I cried out in pain, "Sis, I was wrong..."
She insisted, "Admit guilt and accept punishment?"
"I admit, I admit!" I raised my hand in surrender.
She looked at me with a hint of spring in her eyes, "Honestly, lie down..."
In her movement, I lost myself once again.
