"On the ninth day of the lunar month, I'm not going to eat anymore and go directly to the train station. Something happened to Xiao Yu!"
I pressed the lock screen button for the paging call and didn't look at the other messages.
"Guo Guo, something happened to sister Xiaoyu?"
Urging Chujiu to walk quickly, I remembered that not far from the bus terminal was the train station.
On the way to the train station square, I looked through other messages on the pager. Uncle Ding sent a happy new year blessing message, and the other two were also sent by Xiaoyu. The first one asked me if I felt any physical abnormalities? The second one was from Xiaoyu.
Tiao Xiaoyu said that she was diagnosed with a special condition and was rescued at the No. 1 Hospital.
"Guo Guo, judging from the date, Sister Xiao Yu must have been bewitched just like you."
I bought the earliest train ticket to Chongqing, which departed two hours later. On the way, I found a phone booth and called the health center where Xiaoyu was staying. The doctor who answered the phone said that Xiaoyu had not been seen for several days.
"Guo Guo, it's useless to be anxious. There will always be a way. Didn't Grandma Jian Shu say she would wait for us in the village?"
I suddenly froze. The more anxious I became, the less calm I became.
With a reminder on the ninth day of the lunar month, I finally understood that there were some things that my grandfather said in his letter that I needed to face on my own, and that Grandma Jian Shu said she was waiting for me in the village because of the light rain.
It seems that grandpa must have figured out some clues before making such an arrangement.
"On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, let's find a place to eat first. We will discuss it after dinner."
After casually eating some egg fried rice, Chujiu and I went directly to the waiting room of the train station without stopping.
Perhaps it was because of the Chinese New Year that there were only a few scattered people in the waiting room. Judging from the way their luggage was dressed, they must have been short-haul passengers.
"Guo Guo, Mr. Qin and the others should be well prepared. What we have to do is to send Sister Xiaoyu to Fengwang Village to find Grandma Jian Shu as soon as possible."
I calculated the time from when I was poisoned to when I had an attack, and when I woke up. Then combined with the time displayed in the paging message, it was not difficult to know that Xiaoyu's body was acting strangely the day after I fell into coma.
That is to say, this is the fifth day of Xiaoyu's Gu attack. Xiaoyu's last message three days ago should be that the hospital gave a bad prognosis for the disease. What is certain is that she was not comatose at the time, which is better than me.
A lot.
"The most important thing now is to gain time. You must not take the train when you come back. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, please contact Brother Wanli. He must have experience in this area."
The result of the discussion with Chujiu was to go separately after getting off the train. Since grandpa’s calculation was to go to Grandma Jian Shu’s village, taking this result as a prerequisite, I went to the hospital as soon as possible. Chujiu’s task was to find Tai
car.
There is a public phone in the waiting hall, and it took almost ten minutes for a call to come back on the ninth day of the new year.
It turned out that Mr. Xu was also in the office. Chujiu briefly talked to Mr. Xu about the past few days, from when I was poisoned to when my grandfather and uncle left the village.
Mr. Xu heard that it might be related to the ancient Miao village. He was silent for a while and said that he would let Chujiu and I finish the things at hand and go to the capital to relax.
The call was transferred to Wan Li, who suggested that Chujiu borrow the army's off-road vehicle. Later, Mr. Xu would greet the place in advance and make adequate preparations.
After Chujiu finished talking, he ran to the shop in the waiting hall, bought a map and a pen, and ran to the public phone again.
This phone call lasted longer. Judging from his expression when he came back from the ninth day of the lunar month, he knew that he had paid a lot of phone bills.
A thick black line was drawn with a pen on the map, and there were densely written notes next to it.
I looked at the small print on the map and had to admire Brother Wanli, who is known as the King of Soldiers. The notes marked many landmarks, landforms and highway names. It accurately explained each section of the journey, the maximum speed that can be traveled, and which gas station to refuel at.
, as well as how long a certain service area will rest, are all explained in detail.
What impressed me even more was that the thick black line was painted with thin lines at short intervals, as a backup route to prevent uncontrollable factors on the road.
In the blank space on the back of the map is an address written on Chujiu. At first glance, it can be seen that it is the name of a military unit.
"Guo Guo, it's time to get in the car."
The announcement came over the radio that we were waiting in line for the train. There were more than ten people in front and behind the queue. The ticket checker looked at ease and pressed the ticket checker in his hand with a smile. This should be the easiest working day in a year.
.
After finding my seat, I instinctively looked at the ground. Chujiu smiled speechlessly and told me not to worry. I guess the little bugs would stay away from me when they encounter me in the past few years.
It turns out that the reason why I am not bitten by mosquitoes on the ninth day of the lunar month has something to do with the body-refining prescription left by my master, and I used not only the body-refining medicinal materials for this coma, but also the prescription from Grandma Jian Shu’s village.
"Have a good rest. We won't arrive at the station until dawn. I guess there won't be much time to rest tomorrow."
Chujiu said with a smile not to worry too much. A building as high as the First Hospital cannot even deal with a bedbug. Maybe Sister Xiaoyu is fine at all, or she may leave Chongqing and go back to her hometown.
After Chujiu finished speaking, he even laughed to himself, saying that it was strange that he had to please girls because it turned out that he was not good at comforting people.
"Okay, let's get some sleep quickly. Grandpa has already calculated the results. We just need to rush back to the village as soon as possible."
I didn't sleep well on the bench, and I woke up every once in a while. When I was sleeping soundly, the train arrived at the station.
There was a row of taxis parked near the exit. After saying goodbye to me on the ninth day of the lunar month, I got into a taxi. I then opened the door of the second taxi.
"Go to the first hospital, please hurry up, master, I'm in a hurry."
As soon as I sat down, I heard a female voice:
"Ah! Brother, what a coincidence, why is it you?"
It turned out to be the female car goddess I met while taking a taxi while wrapped up tightly. I didn’t expect that she would still remember me.
"Sister, it's you, didn't you take a break during the New Year?"
The car body lady made a smooth operation and when she replied to me, the car was already speeding on the road.
The eldest sister told me that it was her husband's turn to be on duty during the Chinese New Year holiday, and she was bored at home alone, so she simply went out for a sports car ride. There were few cars these days, so she thought it was a good deed.
During the chat, he asked me how I was doing with that coquettish senior sister. Seeing that I hesitated for a long time and didn’t answer, the eldest sister comforted me and said that it’s the New Year’s Eve and I don’t mention unhappy things. I could clearly feel the speed of the car.
Much faster.
After a while, the car stopped steadily at the gate of the First Hospital. The car god insisted on exempting the change, so I didn't shirk and paid the whole amount.
Rush into the hospital building and run up the stairs.
When turning a corner, I bumped into an oncoming man dressed in white.
"The one with the eyes and the soles of his feet? The paws that roar in a hurry (what to do)? Uh, brother Qin Feng? You are here, woo woo woo."
The nurse in white clothes who I bumped into was Xiaoyu's good sister Xiaobai. Xiaobai's eyes were slightly red, and it was obvious that she had just cried. After she looked up and saw that it was me, she hugged my arm and started crying again.
Xiaobai's ability to cry was absolutely terrifying. After a while, my clothes and sleeves were all wet. Pedestrians passing by looked at me as if they were looking at a super heartless man.
The more I coaxed Xiaobai to cry, the louder it became, as if I wanted to let out all the depression I had been feeling these past few days.
It wasn't until I asked about Xiaoyu's condition that Xiaobai raised his head and stopped crying, stared at me blankly, and then started crying loudly again.
From Xiaobai's reaction, I was already sure that something happened to Xiaoyu, and all other previous illusions shattered like bubbles.
"If you want to save Xiaoyu, stop crying!"
I yelled, and Xiaobai was so scared that I let go of my arm.
"Where is Xiaoyu? Take me there quickly!"
After the stunned Xiaobai came to his senses, he grabbed my arm and ran upstairs.
"In the intensive care unit, now in a coma."
While going upstairs, Xiaobai told me that she was on duty the day before New Year's Eve to accompany Xiaoyu because she heard that Xiaoyu was feeling unwell. So she changed shifts with her colleagues, who happily returned the favor to them.
Bought snacks.
During the Chinese New Year, there are usually not too many patients in the hospital, and even if there are patients, they always go to the emergency area. The leaders of the hospital specially put the TV set in the conference room into the on-duty office.
In the middle of the night, the two of them watched TV, chatted, and ate snacks, and were very happy. Xiaoyu also joked that it was much more comfortable than usual. This was the most relaxing day since attending medical university.
In the middle of the night, after drinking a bottle of drink, Xiaoyu suddenly hugged her stomach and said she had a stomachache. Xiaobai thought it was because of a cold and said she wanted to go to her old office to get a hot water bottle.
When Xiaobai came back, Xiaoyu stared at the wall with empty eyes, looking lost, sitting on the chair in a daze. Xiaobai said several words in a row, but Xiaoyu didn't hear it.
Suddenly Xiaoyu cried and said that she was scared. Xiaobai realized that when she was going to get the hot water bottle, Xiaoyu felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. As soon as she ran to the bathroom, she vomited out a stream of white debris. When Xiaoyu could see clearly the vomit
At that time, I fell down on the bathroom floor in fright.
"Bugs, they are all bugs, Xiaobai, I'm so scared."
Xiaoyu's hands holding Xiaobai were cold and bone-chilling. Xiaobai guessed that Xiaoyu was indeed frightened.
After looking at the duty schedule, I took Xiaoyu and ran to the emergency area. There happened to be a familiar physician on duty.
The old doctor was half of Xiaobai's teacher. Xiaobai followed this doctor during his internship. When he found the doctor, Xiaobai helped Xiaoyu, who was already frightened out of his mind, onto a chair and told the doctor about Xiaoyu's condition.
After hearing Xiaoyu's symptoms, the old doctor was silent for a few minutes, his brows furrowing more and more tightly. Just when Xiaobai was about to ask the teacher what his condition was, the old doctor said eagerly:
"Xiao Bai, quickly call the doctor on duty and prepare for gastric tube lavage. Go quickly!"
Xiaobai didn't know why the teacher was so anxious, but seeing the teacher's appearance, he was sure that Xiaoyu's symptoms were more serious than imagined, so he rushed out of the doctor's office.
