With the arrival of morning, the island of Oahu gradually became lively. The breeze blowing from the sea gently caressed with her gentle fingers the slightly red color in the intensive care unit that was dyed by the morning glow. The white gauze curtains also brought a fresh air with a slight salty smell unique to the ocean and the cheerful chirping of birds in the woods outside the window into this ward.

Ron opened his eyes. On the plane yesterday, his illness flared up again. The high fever didn't subside until late at night. As soon as the fever subsided, Ron fell into a drowsy sleep on a hospital bed in Hawaii.Have been sleeping until now.The first thing that catches his eyes is the snow-white ceiling in the intensive care unit. Turning his head, there is a tall floor-to-ceiling window on the right side of the room, and the cool sea breeze is blowing in through the window screen, blowing the curtains. put...

The light in the morning was not too strong, and the large window through which the light came in was so conspicuous that the other little nurse sitting by the window was inadvertently ignored.

The little nurse sat down on the chair by the window. She put both hands on the back of the chair, and then rested her head on them. She hid herself in the shadow of the curtain, probably asleep, and she The snow-white nurse uniform made her almost blend into the same white wall.If it wasn't for the morning breeze that gently lifted the curtains, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine on her snow-white nurse's cap and the little golden hair exposed under the nurse's cap, it would have taken Ron a while to notice her.

Ron didn't disturb her. He knew that during the war, the nurses in the hospital worked very hard, so he let her sleep.But now Ron is really thirsty, the cup is right next to him, but the kettle is a little far away, and he has to get out of bed to reach it.Ron felt that he was in good spirits, as if he had completely recovered from his illness.Getting out of bed and taking a few steps shouldn't be a problem.

Gently lifting the thin blanket covering himself, Ron tiptoed out of bed.Fortunately, although my legs are a little weak, and I feel like I am floating on the clouds when I walk, but these few steps are really no problem.Lifting the kettle, Ron poured himself a jug of water.Maybe it was the sound of pouring water a little louder, which alarmed the little nurse.

"Why did you get up by yourself!" A slightly flustered voice sounded from behind Ron.The sound is very pleasant, like a string of small wind chimes swaying in the morning breeze.

Ron turned around slowly with a water glass in his hand.

"It's okay, I can't even hold a glass of water." Ron smiled at the little nurse.Only then did he see the little nurse who was sleeping with her head down just now.

The little nurse has a round face and two big blue eyes are very beautiful, like, um, like those clear lakes that Ron saw when he traveled to Jiuzhaigou before.It's just obvious that she hasn't had a good rest these days, so her eyes are a little bloodshot.

"Oh, don't go back to the hospital bed yet!" The little nurse hurried over, supported Ron, and pressed him to the hospital bed.

Ron obediently returned to the hospital bed.

"If you want to drink water, won't you let me help you? How can you get up by yourself? What if you fall down!..." The little nurse wrinkled her nose and began to educate Ron in a serious manner, as if Said: "Little friend, you are not good."

"I just saw that you seemed to be asleep and didn't want to disturb you." Ron looked at her with a smile.

"Who said I fell asleep... I didn't... I just..." The little nurse's face turned red, and she didn't know whether it was from anxiety or embarrassment.

Ron continued to stare at her with a smile, um, there seemed to be something wet reflecting on the corner of her lovely mouth, and there was also a strand of hair sticking there.Look at her right arm again, there is also a part of it that is also wet.Apparently drooling after falling asleep.

"Why do you keep staring at me and laughing?" The little nurse felt a little hairy when Ron stared at her.

"What delicious food did you dream about just now?"

"What nonsense are you talking about..." the little nurse was about to continue, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, her face flushed again, "I'll come back after I go out, don't move around!"

thump thump thump, the little nurse trotted all the way and ran out.Of course, she still carefully closed the door when she went out.

After a while, about the time it took for a cigarette, the little nurse came back.This time, the corners of her mouth and the saliva on her arms were of course gone, and even her hair was obviously taken care of again.Compared with the cute and cute look just now, it is a bit more quiet and delicate, and there is a small white box in his hand.

"Doctor Clyde ordered you to take your temperature every hour." The little nurse took out a thermometer and continued, "Open your mouth and hold it. Are you hungry? But a blood test has been arranged for you in the morning , it will start right away, and you can eat after the blood is drawn..."

"Woo, woo." Ron, with a thermometer in his mouth, nodded his head in understanding.

"...Well, the doctor and the head nurse will come to see you later..." The little nurse hesitated, and finally whispered, "Don't tell Sister Lucia that I fell asleep while on duty in the morning... ..."

Ron couldn't help laughing at the blushing little guy, but he still nodded seriously.

At 7:[-], accompanied by the head nurse, chief physician Clyde and deputy chief physician Hanks came to Ron's ward.

"You look fine. If you don't have an attack today, then our compound drug treatment plan seems to be effective." After asking a few questions and doing some simple examinations, Dr. Clyde said to Ron explain.

"Thank you, doctor."

"No, I should thank you." Dr. Clyde replied solemnly, "Cases like yours are rare, and there are not many records in the United States. And it is truly amazing that I can meet someone like you." Very lucky."

Ron looked into Dr. Clyde's eyes, and he suddenly felt that Dr. Clyde was looking at him like he was looking at a rare white mouse.

"Now, Ron, we need to take a little blood sample from you for a test." A gentle voice sounded in Ron's ear.

It was the head nurse who spoke, and Ron noticed her when she first came in.

"Even the voice is almost exactly the same. She should be the nurse Lucia I know? The same green eyes, flaxen hair, just... the face is fatter than the one in memory, and the hair is shorter. And...and there's a big difference in temperament."

The female nurse named Lucia that Ron was familiar with was more like a little girl who hadn't fully grown up yet, her temperament was very close to the little nurse just now.But now the head nurse Lucia in front of her is gentle and calm, and this gentleness reveals a kind of ability that was not there before.Of course, this kind of sophistication is completely different from Hailan's sophistication.Hailan sometimes likes to pretend to be cute, but Ron knows that she is definitely not the harmless guy on the surface. This guy is like, like a kind of orchid mantis, a specialty of Taiwan. The cute appearance is just a means of hunting .Hailan's sophistication carried the breath of killing and the chill of a dagger.But the ability of the Head Nurse Lucia in front of her is a combination of accumulated experience and motherly love.

"Maybe that Lucia has a sister." Ron thought.

Head nurse Lucia skillfully wrapped a rubber tube around Ron's arm, not loose or tight, not as uncomfortable as when Ron was drawing blood before.Then she used a cotton swab dipped in some disinfectant solution to gently wipe the part where the blood was to be drawn.

"Ron, we haven't seen each other for almost a year? I didn't expect you to wear the lieutenant colonel's epaulettes so soon." Sister Lucia inserted the needle into Ron's vein gently and accurately while talking To distract Ron.

It seems that this is really the original Lucia. Ron opened his eyes and looked at her in surprise.

"Is it really you? I almost didn't recognize it! I thought you were her sister."

"Ah, you said the same thing. It seems that I'm really old. Carlos said the same thing last time." Lucia gently untied the rubber tube tied around Ron's arm, and slowly Pull out the syringe, inject the blood sample into the test tube, label it, and answer with a smile.

"No, that's not what I meant," Ron said quickly. "I mean you've changed a lot, not that you're getting old. There's a big difference."

"I don't think there is any difference." Lucia replied while packing her things.

"No, getting old is when the petals leave the branches and the big tree shakes off her jade-like leaves. But you don't change like this. Do you know that when I look at you now, I think of the tree in front of my house. That path, my father planted a lot of roses by the roadside. Sometimes, one night the spring breeze blows, and the next morning, when you open the window, you will see those buds that were not yet budding. In between, they turned into delicate and charming roses."

"Oh, Ron, you are the one who has changed so much. In just one year, you have not only become a hero, but also a lieutenant colonel, and you have even improved your skills in deceiving people." Lucia remained calm As for An Xian, the joy of reuniting after a long absence still flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, I'm not lying, you know that three days in April are enough to make certain trees bloom, and a year in April of life is enough to make many similar things happen. It's changed...By the way, didn't you go to Australia? Why did you come here? In the past year, you, um, I mean, what happened to you and others, such as the old lieutenant colonel, and Tony? "

"This matter is not short, but now is not the time to talk about these matters in detail. I still have several patients who need to be seen, and you..." Lucia turned around, facing the gossip-filled face The little nurse said, "Annie, Lieutenant Colonel Ron can have breakfast now, you can go and get his breakfast later."

"Okay, Sister Lucia." Annie replied sweetly, "I will take good care of him." She winked mischievously at Lucia, and added in a particularly emphatic tone, "I will take care of him." I will definitely take good care of him." The word "he" was specially emphasized by her.

By the time Annie entered the ward with the breakfast, Lucia and Dr. Clyde had already left.Annie put breakfast - a cup of milk with honey and some bread with cheese and jam on Ron's bedside table, and then rocked the hospital bed on which Ron was lying, letting him change from lying down to leaning on the bed. Sitting in a sitting posture, he asked impatiently:

"Do you know Sister Lucia? A year ago? Can you tell me what Sister Lucia was like at that time?"

"Hmm, um," Ron replied vaguely with several slices of bread stuffed into his mouth, "The tiger, she or you, will make up for it."

"What are you talking about?" Annie adjusted the angle of the bed, turned her head, and saw that Ron's mouth was tightly stuffed with food.

"Hey, what's the hurry, don't choke!" She waved her small fist at Ron in a demonstration, "I've never seen your food so delicious! It's like being starved for months."

"'It's like being starved for months'?" Ron thought, "The guy who has been starved for months has never behaved like a gentleman when he saw bread, just like the group of small Japanese in Guadalcanal Island. I'm afraid I'm so hungry that even people can eat it."

Ron's idea is not wrong. In Guadalcanal, the "hungry ghost land" (the hungry hell in Buddhist legend), cannibalism is indeed happening one after another.
