Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 5 Fever
The rain was pouring down and thunder was heard from time to time in the inky night sky.

呲呲.

A slight electric current sound.

"Group Three, this is Group Three, we have important discoveries to report."

"Yes, I'm at the foot of Pingyang Mountain. Some villagers here said they saw the black pickup truck passing by this afternoon..."

"You can notify other teams to narrow the search area."

After a brief communication, the leader of the third group of the special search and rescue team waved his hand.

He did not dare to delay, but said in a deep voice: "Follow us, into the mountain!"

……

……

I don’t know how much time passed.

The long night was about to end, and the heavy rain that had been falling all night seemed to finally show some signs of stopping.

Under a tree that barely provides shelter from the rain.

The three small figures huddled together, relying on each other's remaining body temperature to keep warm in this bad weather.

After being caught in the rain all night and almost staying awake all night, there is no doubt that their physical condition is very bad.

The girl's originally elegant white dress was soaked by the rain, and the skirt was also stained with many yellowish-brown mud spots. Now it was wet and stuck to her skin, making her feel freezing and extremely uncomfortable.

But Bai Congqiu couldn't care about these things at this time.

Because in her arms, the boy who always appeared calm and composed was now closing his eyes and frowning, as if he was forcibly enduring something.

So hot...

Bai Congqiu reached out and touched Chen An's forehead.

Not only his forehead, but also his cheeks were abnormally red, and his whole body was burning hot.

I'm afraid no one would have expected that the thing Chen An was most worried about last night actually happened to him.

"I have a fever..."

Bai Congqiu murmured.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and turned to look to the other side.

"younger sister……"

Bai Congqiu called softly, but no response came.

She pulled her hand away and checked the girl's temperature. Fortunately, everything was normal. She was probably just too sleepy and fell asleep temporarily.

But...what about him in my arms?
Bai Congqiu pursed her lips and stood there in a daze, an indescribable feeling of powerlessness lingering in her heart.

Under normal circumstances, with medicine having made tremendous progress today, for a simple fever, I'm afraid there are many solutions available.

But why, why now...

She could do nothing but feel the increasingly hot body temperature in her arms.

The slender fingertips looked white due to the force.

"don't want……"

Unconscious murmurs came out of the mouth.

don't want?

What not to do?
Faintly, Chen An heard the whisper.

But he had a splitting headache and was dizzy, making it difficult for him to think, let alone answer.

heat.

It's really hot.

But the wet clothes stuck to my skin, and the occasional mountain breeze brought another kind of bone-chilling cold.

With the alternation of hot and cold, Chen An was so dazed that he even wondered if he was about to meet his grandmother.

pat-

It's like the sound of raindrops falling on your face, bringing a moist feeling.

Is this...raining again?
While in a daze, Chen An forced himself to open his eyes.

Only then did I realize that it was not raining again, but that the girl who looked like she would have a very beautiful child in the future was crying silently.

"Why are you crying again..." "Didn't I tell you that I would take you with me this time?"

He moved his lips and mumbled something, but even he himself couldn't hear what he said clearly.

But perhaps because the two of them were too close, Bai Congqiu heard every word.

Her heart ached and she could no longer hold back her tears, which fell drop by drop like a dam breaking.

"No, no, not this..."

The repeated words were interrupted by a noisy sound not far away.

She woke up suddenly, only to find that the sky had begun to turn pale since she hadn't noticed.

After a long dark night, dawn comes.

Amid the noisy sound, there were one or two quick dog barks. The forest was dimly visible, and the figures were vague, but they were obviously not bandits.

Soon, the sound came from far away.

Walking in the front was a burly man. He was not wearing a police uniform, but his aura was more like that of a battle-hardened soldier than the people behind him.

When he saw the petite figure under the tree, the man's solemn expression froze, and then he became extremely excited, and his pace changed from walking to running.

"Miss!" he shouted excitedly.

Hearing the noise, the girl's bright eyes and eyebrows finally regained some of their former spirit.

She looked over and her slightly cracked lips moved.

"Uncle Wang, save...him."

At this moment, Bai Congqiu had never felt his voice so hoarse.

……

……

People's Hospital, Ward 502.

This is one of only three rooms on the fifth floor and is also a rarely used ward with very complete medical facilities.

A brief conversation was heard outside the ward.

"Well... the child's high fever has been brought under control, and he should be fine. He just needs to rest for a few days."

The nurse in a white coat pushed up her glasses and spoke softly.

Hearing this, the two middle-aged men standing in front of her breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

One of them was a slightly plump, middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. He narrowed his eyes. He subconsciously wanted to reach into his pocket for a cigarette, but then he remembered that this was a hospital, so he stopped and just looked emotional.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

He wanted to say something, but only these few words came out.

Zhang Yang really didn't dare to think about it. If something really happened, would he be able to get away with it?
He was so relieved to have survived the disaster that he couldn't help but pat the man next to him on the shoulder.

"I say, Chen Xingguo, right? Don't blame yourself too much. As far as I know, the two criminals who committed the crime came from other provinces and committed crimes indiscriminately... This kind of thing is the most difficult to prevent and the most difficult to deal with."

Zhang Yang said this and sighed.

The man in front of him was the boy's father.

Last night, the man hurriedly came to the door in the middle of the night and called the police to say that his child was missing. This allowed them to identify the third abducted child.

As for the mother...

Zhang Yang had asked an extra question before, and he just said that they were divorced.

"If I hadn't picked him up from school, this wouldn't have happened at all."

Chen Xingguo shook his head, his voice hoarse and low.

Zhang Yang saw this, and with an idea in mind, he took out a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it over.

"Hey, we should always look forward. Here, this is my contact information. Take it. If you encounter any difficulties in Pingyang in the future, you can come to me."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he walked quickly towards the elevator without further delay.

He still has to go back to the institute to write a report. After all, the other two protagonists involved in this incident are not simple at all.

Only Chen Xingguo was a little stunned. He held the business card and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He is just an ordinary citizen, and now even a migrant worker. He really cannot understand the meaning of the other party's action.

However, Chen Xingguo soon put the matter behind him because the nurse came to inform him that his son seemed to have woken up.
