Xiaoxuan's wounds were so painful that her skin and flesh were turned outwards. It wasn't that she didn't scream. She was spasming in pain. Her lips were trembling with pain and she couldn't speak.
After all, she was just a little girl under twenty years old at the time...
Dou Sprout chased people like crazy. The man holding a dog in his hand ran away. He ran very fast. There was already a long distance between them. Dou Sprout couldn't catch up. He held the sheep-killing knife and screamed crazily.
roar.
"Come back!" I shouted to Dou Sprout to come back and save people.
"Get gauze!"
Douyazai gritted his teeth and opened the backpack, pouring everything out with his eyes red and crackling.
"That's all!"
Ma Deming used a lot of gauze before, but now there is only a little left, and it doesn’t seem like enough!
"Hold on!"
I used a small amount of gauze to press the wound on Xiaoxuan's stomach, then took off my coat and shirt, bit it open with my teeth, and wrapped it with the second layer.
"Don't sleep...don't sleep, open your eyes..." I patted Xiaoxuan's face.
At this moment, he was still in the Alxa Desert. Dou Sprout looked around and jumped up and down anxiously. He said in a panic what to do, what to do, Guisun ran away, Xiaoxuan was going to die, Xiaoxuan was going to die.
"No fucking nonsense!"
I knew that at this time, I couldn't be more chaotic. The only way out now was to go out, leave Alxa, and go to Yinchuan Hospital.
People will die under the ink stains!
I don’t care about anything right now, it’s important to save my life!
In order to speed up, Douyazai and I threw away all the tents and food, and each of us only brought a bottle of water and a flashlight. We started taking turns, carrying Xiaoxuan on our backs and running all the way.
We didn't eat or sleep. We didn't know whether it was morning or night. At night, there were only stars and we couldn't see the road. One of us carried it while the other used a flashlight for lighting.
Xiaoxuan responded to our words at first, but that night she stopped responding. No matter how loudly we called her, she didn't respond. She was still breathing, but her breathing was getting weaker and weaker. I could feel it when I carried her on my back.
I hate that I don’t have enough physical strength to exercise regularly. I kept persisting, and the sweat and sand stuck to my face. Dou Sprout and I carried her on our backs and ran, and kept running...
It originally took three days to walk normally, but Douyazai and I kept walking all night, and on the evening of the second day, we carried Xiaoxuan on our backs and arrived near the national highway.
"Stop!" I panted, carrying people on my back, and Douyazai ran to the national highway to stop the car.
The car turned around and drove away from Dou Sprouts. Maybe the driver saw the blood on Dou Sprouts' clothes and was too scared to cause trouble.
There weren't many cars on the national highway, and sometimes no one would come for more than ten minutes. Dou Sprout picked up a stone and held it in his hand. If he didn't stop, he would hit the car with the stone. Drivers passing by would often scold Dou Sprout for being sick.
There are still good people in the world.
Just when we were at a loss, a bright silver-grey Buick car stopped on the side of the national highway.
After lowering the car window, a man in his thirties stuck his head out and asked his friend if he was injured and if he needed help.
I opened the car door and carefully put Xiaoxuan in the back seat, then got into the car and closed the door.
"Hurry...go to the hospital!"
Seeing this situation, the driver nervously said something to help the person, then he made a double-dodge and turned around, driving us towards the city.
The big hospital he took us to was Yinchuan First People's Hospital.
After going to the emergency room, the doctor said something about her pupils being dilated into needlepoints, and then anxiously called the nurse and pushed Xiaoxuan directly into the operating room for emergency surgery.
It's a miracle that Xiaoxuan survived.
Leaving aside me and Douyazai, Xiaoxuan's own vitality is very tenacious, and she was lucky enough to meet a good doctor.
Dr. Liang Zhijun was still relatively young at the time. Now that he is bald and has become the chief doctor of the most famous hospital, he may not remember us.
That night on the recliner in the corridor of the hospital, Dou Sprout and I looked like beggars. I was shirtless under my coat, my hair was a mess and full of sand, and the sweat on my face had dried, leaving layers of white spots.
People passing by in the corridor would whisper to me from time to time.
Three hours later, the emergency room lights turned on and Dr. Liang came out.
"Are you two family members of the patient?" Dr. Liang asked wearing a mask.
I stood up quickly, nodded and said yes, and asked the doctor how he was doing and whether his life could be saved.
Dr. Liang shook his head and said, "It's hard to say whether I can survive or not. You stopped the bleeding in time, but the small intestine was damaged. After such a long time, I tried my best to suture it. The next seven days will be a dangerous period, and I am mainly worried about abdominal infection."
"You two are not very old. Please inform the little girl's parents quickly. Sign and pay the surgery fee first. I will follow up on the patient's condition at any time. That's it." After finishing speaking, Dr. Liang turned around and left.
Then the door of the operating room opened and the nurse pushed the stretcher. I saw Xiaoxuan with her eyes closed and her face pale, sucking oxygen and injecting fluids into her hands.
Douyazai and I were told that we could not visit him for the time being. If we wanted to see him, we could only see him through the ICU glass window.
"Xiaoxuan's life is saved!"
Dou Sprout and I hugged each other in the corridor, jumping and jumping happily like a child. The outsider saw this without knowing it and thought that my wife was giving birth to a child and was going to be a father.
At that time, the hospital would only notify the police when there were mass stabbings or fatal stabbings. Like ours, I mentioned accidental injuries when signing the bill. In addition, I paid the fee quickly, so in the end there was no problem with the hospital.
of attention.
Yinchuan First People's Hospital is next to Qianjin Community, which is on Qianjin Street. Across the road from the parking lot is the hospital. Douyazai and I live there and take turns going to the hospital to take care of us.
We had no parents or friends to visit us, so the only thing we relied on was each other. Maybe in our eyes at that time, our heads were playing the role of parents.
Xiaoxuan woke up on the third day. She could talk but could not eat. Dr. Liang said that there was no abdominal infection and it would take half a month before she could eat some liquid food and then gradually return to normal.
Friends who take care of each other will cherish them even more after they have experienced life and death.
So what about the Ashoka Pagoda, the Weeping Buddha, and the Saraswati Bird? They are not as good as humans.
Tomb robbers also have love.
I asked Xiaoxuan who stabbed you with a knife. Was it the person holding the dog?
Xiaoxuan nodded and closed her eyes in pain.
The man was holding a dog. I am sure I have seen him near Blackwater City before. He must be a man, whose identity is unknown.
I made an oath in my heart at that time.
"Baby, no matter where you are hiding in the desert, if you dare to stab Xiaoxuan, just wait for me. Wait for me to find you. Just wait."
.......
On the tenth day of my stay in the hospital, a strange man came.
The man was in his forties and dressed in ordinary clothes. He was about one meter tall and had short hair and was on the thin side. At that time, Dou Sprout had gone back to rest. I took over to stay with him in bed and was flipping through his mobile phone.
"You are..." I looked puzzled as the man walked in and put down the fruit basket.
I don't know this person.
"How is the little girl recovering?" He pulled up a chair and sat down, as if he knew us very well.
"Do we know each other?" I felt wary.
The man smiled and said: "We know each other, why don't we know each other? We are good friends."
"You've got the wrong person. Go away quickly and take the fruit basket away." I looked at him and gave the eviction order.
"My surname is Jin and my given name is Fenghuang." He said in a calm tone.
I stood up quickly and blocked Xiaoxuan on the hospital bed behind me, sweating nervously on my forehead.
The man who delivered the fruit basket is actually the second son of the Jin brothers in Yinchuan... He controls 70% of the agate mines in Alxa, runs game arcades, Internet cafes, and I heard he manages several markets.
The department also has to pay him money regularly....
I felt uneasy, so I asked you calmly what you wanted. Your brother's disappearance has nothing to do with us.
He shook his head and said in a calm voice: "Xiang Yunfeng, right? In fact, I knew you were hospitalized that day. The reason why I came to you in person today is to talk to you."
"Talk...what to talk about? Is there anything to talk about between us?"
He looked at me and said, "You should know that the man who disappeared in Beijing is my sibling, my brother. We grew up together, playing together, fighting together, mining coal together, and mining together.
....”
"Hey...I can't even find anyone else now."
After Jin Fenghuang finished speaking, he suddenly stood up. He patted my shoulder, leaned closer and whispered with a smile: "Thank you so much, you did a great job."
"What?"
I was stunned and couldn't understand whether what he said was true or ironic.
Just when I was stunned, he continued: "I thought about it carefully while you were in the hospital. The short guy also told me that you knew Liu Zhiyuan? Don't think that he can protect you. Liu Zhiyuan used to be just a thug.
It’s outdated now.”
"My brother is missing, which is a great thing for me. I have changed my mind. As long as you agree to the conditions I will mention next, my brother's matter will be written off. No matter if it is Yinchuan or other places, I will not be looking for him."
You three are in trouble."
My eyelids twitched, I swallowed, and asked him what his conditions were.
Jin Fenghuang snapped his fingers: "I heard that the stone was sold for 2 million? I am also a real person, and the fixed price is 6 million."
"Six million, not a penny less. Use this money to buy your own three lives."
"The deadline for collecting money is three days."
"If you dare to run away within three days... you will lose this opportunity."
