After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 398 Something's Wrong with the Blood, So Young and Already Has a Child

Li Chengxiao stared at the two short questions displayed on the screen for several moments.

How did you know... there was a lot of blood? Was it because of that mark?

After clicking send, he immediately started editing the next message.

[I didn't kill him. The blood was from the child. He suddenly vomited blood, and I instinctively covered his mouth.]

I had just clicked send on the second message when the other party sent me one as well.

Congratulations, you've discovered another new feature!

Li Chengxiao: [...]

The discovery of this new feature is truly quite alarming!

He wished he hadn't encountered it.

The phone in my palm vibrated again.

Another message came in: "This blood isn't right."

Li Chengxiao's gaze sharpened. Before he could think it through, he was about to type a question about what was wrong when Jiang Hanying typed much faster than him.

[This blood is so mixed up, what kind of random things are mixed in? Ugh, I need to catch my breath!]

For her, drinking blood is as essential as eating and drinking water for a human.

But she swears that this is the first time she has ever tasted blood with such a complex flavor.

This can't even be considered blood anymore; at least half of it is a substance that even she can hardly identify.

Are there really this many toxins in human blood these days?
It's somewhat understandable that adults accumulate more and more impurities in their blood as they live longer, but this blood came from a child who was only a few years old...

That kind of blood is very strange!

Li Chengxiao glanced at the vomiting emoji Jiang Hanying had sent him last, put down his phone with mixed feelings, and looked in front of him.

At this moment, his brother and Que Lu were standing on either side of the recliner, one was using a test kit to determine blood type, and the other was using silver needles to seal the veins and stop the bleeding, both so busy that they didn't even look up.

The child lay quietly in the recliner, even looking curiously at the dense silver needles stuck in his body, his expression innocent and bewildered.

Li Jingmo finished her work first and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the final blood type result. Fortunately, it was a universal recipient.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about a lack of suitable blood reserves in Queshan.

As soon as he made a phone call and hung up, Li Chengxiao came over and said, "Brother."

"Don't worry too much. In the end, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. Come on, let's go wash our hands first."

The two brothers went to the tap in the yard to wash the blood off their hands. Li Chengxiao was still thinking about the message Jiang Hanying had sent him, "Brother, before giving the child a blood transfusion, I suggest drawing some of his original blood for testing. The more detailed the tests, the better."

"Blood?" Li Jingmo paused in washing his hands, turning to look at his younger brother standing beside him. "Do you think there's something wrong with his blood?"

Li Chengxiao couldn't directly say that Jiang Hanying had told him that, so he could only nod reluctantly, "I just felt that the blood he was bleeding was a bit off."

Li Jingmo stared at her younger brother for a moment as he finished speaking and quietly washed his hands with his head down. Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll check it."

Li Chengxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your trouble, brother."

Although it's just a blood test, which sounds simple, don't forget that this is Queshan, not the capital.

Although Li Jingmo came, he didn't bring all his equipment with him.

The child's identity is different, and his physical condition is even more complicated, which means he cannot travel far. Therefore, for this blood test, the blood sample must be taken back to the clinic in the capital first, and the test results will be brought back after the test is completed.

It will take a lot of effort and energy during this process.

This simple nod signified that Li Jingmo would be traveling back and forth between Queshan and the capital for the next two days.

Even if you can fly both ways, it still involves a lot of travel.

And this was all because he said something felt off. "If there's an abnormality, your feeling will be very useful. Even if there's nothing abnormal, it rules out a blood-related issue. By the way, were your hands injured when you touched his blood?"

Li Chengxiao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

He wasn't injured, but... he still couldn't figure out how the child's blood disgusted Jiang Hanying.

Could it possibly be transmitted remotely?

When I came back after washing my hands, Que Lu was just putting away his needles, his head covered in sweat.

Li Chengxiao rarely saw him so disheveled. "How are you now?"

"The bleeding has stopped, but as I said before, it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. If we can't find the problem, we'll have to do what we did this time: patch up the problem wherever it occurs." Que Lu said, wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeve. For someone with OCD to do that, it's clear he was extremely exhausted. "I have a feeling I'll be working non-stop from now on."

This patient could very well die without any warning.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingmo and Li Chengxiao exchanged a silent glance. "Well, I still need to go back to the capital again."

Que Lu gave him a sudden, almost blacked-out reaction, clinging to his last shred of hope: "You're leaving right after you've arrived? Are you kidding me?"

“I’m not kidding. When the people delivering the blood bags arrive, I’ll draw some blood from the child and take it back to the capital for a checkup.”

"There are hospitals in Queshan too. If it's urgent, you can even cut in line. I still have some influence in this area."

"But the equipment at this hospital isn't as comprehensive as mine, so they can't do a very detailed examination."

Que Lu: "..."

There's really no way to refute that.

After all, this person has poured all his wealth and resources from his family into those instruments and research, and has also made a lot of innovations, which are really incomparable to the instruments in the hospital here.

“Then it will take you at least two days to leave and travel back and forth…” Que Lu rubbed his temples with his still relatively clean little finger. “Fine, I’ll hold on for two more days. You must be back within two days.”

She was practically begging Li Jingmo while clinging to his hand.

Li Jingmo assured him, "I'll come back as soon as the test results are out."

Que Lu nodded and took the child's pulse again. He confirmed that although the child was still very weak, the pulse had finally stabilized. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a rumble in the child's stomach.

"I'm so hungry, it seems like our breakfast is still in the car."

The breakfast in the car had gotten a little cold after the delay.

However, the three of them were too lazy to heat it up any further. They simply put the breakfast they had bought for the children in the microwave to heat it up, and then the three of them grabbed the now-cold buns and started munching on them.

I had just finished filling my stomach when the people delivering the blood bags arrived.

After signing the handover documents, Li Jingmo took out a syringe and stored it properly before giving the child a blood transfusion. Then, she picked up her bag, which she had just put down, and waved to her younger brother, "Come on, take me to the high-speed rail station."

After all, you can't just leave an airport and have a plane take off whenever you want.

In comparison, there are more high-speed rail services.

Que Lu stayed behind to watch over the child receiving blood transfusions. From now on, he can no longer work one day and rest the next, and he will have to sleep with one eye open at night.

After a while, as usual, Sister Liu came over with a basket of ingredients to cook.

As soon as I entered, I saw Que Lu washing clothes in the yard. I quickly walked over and said, "Doctor Que, why are you washing your own clothes? Leave them here for now, I'll wash them after I've finished cooking."

Que Lu was currently scrubbing the child's clothes, which had a lot of blood on them. Fortunately, they had already been washed once, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain if someone came in and saw the blood in the basin.

"Just this one, it'll be washed soon, Sister Liu, you can go cook."

Sister Liu didn't move, looked around again, and tentatively asked, "Did that gentleman from yesterday leave? Do I need to cook for him today?"

"He didn't leave. He went out to see someone off and will probably be back soon. He'll be staying with me for a while longer. From now on, I'll cook for three people, and also make two soft and easy-to-eat dishes for the kids."

"A child? Is it your child, Dr. Que? Is there anything the child doesn't like to eat, like onions, ginger, or garlic?"

"No, it's a child brought by a friend." Que Lu replied casually as he was busy wringing out his clothes. "Just make sure the flavor is mild and not irritating."

He didn't notice that Sister Liu's eyes dimmed, and after responding, she walked towards the kitchen, muttering to herself, "How can she have a child at such a young age!"
