Chapter 144 The Disappearing Shadow
"It's weird that you can touch it with your hands." Xu Yingying complained: "You have already burned to 42 degrees. The temperature of the water has dropped a bit, but it is still 39 degrees."
Jin Mang looked at his hand, and sure enough he had a needle sticking out of it.
"Why are my hands numb?" she asked.
"The doctor said this is what the water looks like." After saying this, Xu Yingying asked again: "Are you hungry?"
Jin Mang shook her head, she really didn't feel hungry.
"What time is it now?" she asked.
"It's almost noon. The dean's lady will come to bring you food soon," Xu Yingying said.
Jin Mang felt weak all over, she frowned and said, "Something seems not right."
"What's wrong?" Xu Yingying was a little confused.
"Have you checked me out? Am I seriously ill?" Jin Mang said with a suspicious look on his face: "How come I suddenly have a high fever that won't go away? I've never been like this before."
It is said that the precursor of leukemia is fever and nosebleeds from time to time. It is possible that I have leukemia, but it is also possible that I have other diseases.
After all, isn’t it true that fever is not a disease but a symptom?
Fever is not only caused by colds.
"Ah?" Xu Yingying was stunned, "I'll ask the doctor later." She had not thought about this at first, but when Jin Mang said it, she became really worried.
After saying that, she actually ran to the doctor, and the doctor prescribed several check-ups.
Jin Mang looked at the amount on the checklist and immediately regretted it. It would cost two to three thousand for such a package.
"How about forgetting it." Jin Mang said.
"No." Xu Yingying disagreed this time, "The doctor said that your situation is indeed a bit strange. Blood tests and other tests are normal, but the high fever persists."
There was obvious worry on her face. Jin Mang wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.
However, after such a set of inspections, nothing was found.
"Is everything normal?" Jin Mang looked at the doctor in disbelief.
The doctor nodded and said a little apologetically: "This is the first time we have encountered this situation."
Two days later, Xu Yingying took Jin Mang's temperature. It was 38.9 degrees, still within the high temperature range.
Jin Mang immediately said: "I want to be discharged from the hospital. Sister Yingying, go and handle the discharge procedures for me."
Xu Yingying has been very uneasy for the past two days, fearing that Jin Mang is really seriously ill, so she subconsciously wanted to refuse when she heard this.
——Before determining the cause of Jin Mang's fever, she preferred to stay in the hospital. What's more, her body temperature hasn't dropped down yet, right?
Not only Xu Yingying, but everyone at the Xingxing Orphanage was very concerned about Jin Mang's condition.
Xu Yingwan and the others came to see her almost every day. Peng Juju took advantage of his vacation to take the high-speed rail to see her. Mi Yang also called her from time to time after work to inquire about her condition. Long Yan and the others couldn't make it back in one day.
Make video calls to her three times.
Jin Mang rushed before Xu Yingying and said: "Sister Yingying, to be honest, I have done all the examinations that should be done, but nothing was found. Either I am really healthy, or I have some rare and strange disease.
If it's the latter, we don't look down on that kind of disease, so we might as well go back and eat something delicious."
Xu Yingying suddenly fell silent.
At this time, she felt a little regretful. If she had known that she would not have given Xu Yingwan so much money in these years, what would she care about the other children in the orphanage? She should have saved the money and kept it for Jin Mang.
In that case, maybe I would be able to refute what this child said now.
Jin Mang had no other symptoms except for the weakness caused by the high fever. All the hospital could do was give her medicine to reduce the fever. Therefore, after Xu Yingying proposed to discharge Jin Mang, although the doctor gave her some advice,
I didn't force it, I just gave Jin Mang a lot of oral antipyretics.
When he returned to the orphanage, Jin Mang lay down directly. It wasn't anything other than tired, and he didn't have any strength in his body.
Seeing her like this, worries appeared on the faces of Xu Yingying and others.
Jin Mang himself felt at ease. No matter how good the hospital was, it would never be as comfortable as living at home.
——For Jin Mang today, Star Orphanage is equivalent to her home.
She didn't even have time to eat anything before she fell asleep.
This night she slept very soundly and had a dream, a dream that was considered a sweet dream to her.
There were no people in the dream, just mountains and green fields, the vast sea and trickling rivers and lakes. She also saw acres of fields and trees full of fruits.
She couldn't tell if this was Anze. After all, the geography and climate of Anze changed every year, so it was really not easy to recognize it at a glance.
But it didn't matter. The steel forest she had seen in Heze for more than ten years now only had one tree. As long as it was real, she could see it with gusto.
At the end of the dream, Jin Mang also saw swarms of chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs and various wild animals.
Jin Mang felt like he had become a wisp of wind, a ray of sunshine, and a white cloud, roaming freely in this nature.
The feeling of physical and mental freedom is simply fascinating.
When he woke up the next day, Jin Mang found that his fever had gone down and all the symptoms of weakness in his hands and feet had disappeared.
She herself was okay, but Xu Yingying and the others were extremely happy.
"Hurry up and wash up and eat. You haven't eaten much in the past few days. I need to make up for it as soon as possible." Wei Siyu said with a face of joy.
Jin Mang was indeed hungry now. He went downstairs and ate three bowls of rice in one go, and also nibbled on a roasted pig's trotter.
She had slept enough in the past few days, and now she didn't feel any discomfort, so she didn't want to go back to lie down again.
Xu Yingying brought her a deck chair and put it in the yard, letting her go outside to bask in the sun.
"It just so happens that the temperature is low today, but the sun is good. You go and bask in the sun to kill bacteria." She said.
On a hot day, no matter how low the temperature is, it is still above 20 degrees. Jin Mang really doesn't want to go out to bask in the sun.
Xu Yingying was purely afraid that she would catch cold in the air-conditioned room, so she thought of asking her to go out to bask in the sun. She felt that it would be better to be warmer than cold.
Unable to resist Xu Yingying, Jin Mang put on ice sleeves and a sun hat and went out to bask in the sun.
She deliberately found a shade tree. Although there was sunlight shining through the branches, overall it was not too hot.
Jin Mang was bored and picked up her phone and started scrolling. She accidentally clicked on the camera of her phone.
She was about to turn off the camera, but her movement suddenly stopped.
She put down her phone and sat up, looking down at her shadow on the ground.
Really do not have!?
Jin Mang stood up quickly and looked around. Everything else was normal. There were shadows on the trees, deck chairs, and amusement facilities nearby.
Only her shadow could not be found.
Worried that it was covered by the trees, she ran out into the sun.
