Entertainment: A song that brought his deceased wife back to life.
Chapter 138 Jiang Yue Incident 24
It was completely dark.
The dilapidated wooden door in the dormitory was no match for the cold wind outside.
The cold wind desperately tried to sneak into the room through the cracks in the door.
The temperature inside the room dropped directly to freezing point.
The children couldn't stand the cold any longer and huddled under their blankets, fast asleep.
The sounds of snoring and teeth grinding rose and fell.
Er Lei's gang was especially well-behaved today, not even daring to make a big fuss when they turned over.
Xu Qing sat on the edge of the bed.
He didn't sleep.
He couldn't sleep at all.
Jiang Yue's body temperature is getting higher and higher.
You could feel that abnormal heat even from half a meter away.
Xu Qing reached out and touched Jiang Yue's forehead.
The temperature is ridiculously high.
Jiang Yue's lips were cracked and bleeding, and she couldn't even speak incoherently.
All you could hear was the gurgling sound of someone breathing heavily in their throat.
Can't wait any longer.
If we wait any longer, this person will really be gone.
Xu Qing stood up.
He took off his tattered cotton-padded coat.
All that was left inside was a thin thermal undershirt.
The cold air enveloped him instantly.
He shivered from the cold.
Xu Qing gently covered Jiang Yue with the tattered cotton-padded coat.
He tucked the blanket in tightly again.
Make sure not a single breeze can get in.
After doing all this, Xu Qing turned and walked towards the door.
He stepped barefoot into those tattered cloth shoes.
He didn't even bother to tie his shoelaces.
Xu Qing pushed open the door to the dormitory-style dormitory.
The wind and snow rushed towards us.
The snow outside is falling even harder.
The snow on the ground was above ankle-deep.
Xu Qing walked forward against the wind and snow.
He walked very slowly.
Each step requires a great deal of physical exertion.
The thin autumn clothes were no match for the bitter cold outside.
The cold wind blew straight through the fabric.
Xu Qing was trembling all over.
The teeth are uncontrollably colliding up and down.
It makes a clucking sound.
He crossed his arms over his chest.
Try to curl up into a ball as much as possible.
The courtyard of the welfare home was deserted.
Only a few dim streetlights swayed in the wind and snow.
The medical clinic is located on the far east side of the first floor of the office building.
It is more than 200 meters away from the dormitory.
This stretch of road usually takes only a minute to run.
But for Xu Qing now, it's been an incredibly long time.
He trudged through the snow, his steps uneven.
The tattered cloth shoes were already soaked through.
My toes were so cold they lost all feeling.
Xu Qing had only one thought in her mind.
I need to ask Lao Liu for medicine.
He touched the old chopstick in his inner pocket.
If Lao Liu doesn't give it to him, he'll resort to violence.
Even if he can't beat him, he'll still take a piece of Liu's flesh.
Xu Qing finally arrived in front of the office building.
Only the easternmost window of the entire building let in light.
That's the infirmary.
Xu Qing leaned closer to the window.
A thick layer of frost flowers had formed on the glass.
I can't see what's inside.
But you can hear sounds coming from inside.
"Four twos!"
"A royal flush!"
"Give me the money, give me the money, stop dawdling!"
That's Lao Liu's voice.
There were also the sounds of two other men laughing and cursing inside.
Judging from the voices, it was Old Zhang, the gatekeeper, and Li Mazi from the canteen.
These three old bachelors got together to play cards late at night.
And he also drank alcohol.
A faint smell of cheap liquor wafted through the air.
Xu Qing stood outside the door.
He was so cold he could barely stand.
But he did not hesitate.
He raised his hands, which were frozen stiff.
He knocked hard on the wooden door of the infirmary.
dong dong dong.
The knocking sounded faint in the wind and snow.
The people inside didn't hear a thing.
They were still loudly shuffling the cards.
Xu Qing bit her lip until it bled.
He used all his strength.
He clenched his fists and slammed them down hard on the wooden door.
Bang bang bang.
This time the sound was loud enough.
The noise inside suddenly stopped.
"Who is it?" Old Liu shouted impatiently.
"A funeral wailing in the middle of the night!"
Xu Qing was unable to speak.
He could only keep banging on the door.
Bang bang bang.
The sound of a chair being moved could be heard from inside.
There was also the sound of a wine bottle being knocked over.
"Damn it, are you looking for death?"
Old Liu walked over, cursing and swearing.
The door lock clicked.
The wooden door was suddenly pulled open.
A pungent smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of cigarettes hit me.
Xu Qing was so overwhelmed by the smell that she could barely open her eyes.
Old Liu's face turned bright red.
He was still holding a deck of cards in his hand.
He squinted at the doorway.
Upon recognizing Xu Qing, Old Liu's face instantly fell.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night, you little mute?"
"Are you planning a rebellion?"
Old Liu looked Xu Qing up and down.
Seeing Xu Qing shivering in the snow wearing only a single layer of clothing.
Old Liu showed absolutely no sympathy.
Instead, his face showed disgust.
"Get out of here, get out of the way."
"I'm on a winning streak today."
"Don't bring bad luck to me."
Old Liu was about to close the door when he said that.
Xu Qing stepped forward.
He simply blocked the door gap with his body.
Caught off guard, Lao Liu bumped the door panel into Xu Qing's shoulder.
Xu Qing groaned in pain.
But he did not back down an inch.
He stared intently into Lao Liu's eyes.
Old Liu felt a little uneasy under that gaze.
This kid's eyes are too eerie.
He doesn't look like a seven-year-old at all.
"What are you doing?" Old Liu raised his voice to cover up his guilty conscience.
Xu Qing didn't waste any words.
He bent both knees.
He knelt directly on the cold snow.
The snowmelt instantly soaked through his trouser legs.
The biting cold went straight to the kneecap.
Xu Qing didn't care at all.
He bent down.
He kowtowed deeply to Old Liu.
His forehead slammed into the cement steps beneath the snow.
It made a dull sound.
When Xu Qing looked up, her forehead was already red.
He stretched out his hands, which were red from the cold.
He pointed in the direction of the large dormitory-style dormitory.
Then he made a gesture with his hands in front of his chest, indicating a fever and a sleep.
Then she made a gesture as if she were getting an injection.
Xu Qing gestured very urgently.
He hoped that Lao Liu could understand it.
Old Liu understood, of course.
Having worked at the welfare home for so many years, he understands this basic sign language.
Someone in the dormitory area is sick.
And he was very ill.
But Lao Liu didn't want to get involved at all.
It's freezing cold.
It was snowing heavily outside.
Inside, a stove was lit, people were drinking and playing cards.
Who would want to go outside and freeze?
"He won't die!" Old Liu waved his hand impatiently.
"A fever is no big deal."
"We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
"Go back to sleep now."
Old Liu reached for the doorknob again.
Xu Qing became anxious.
Jiang Yue will be a corpse by tomorrow morning.
He kowtowed again.
This time the impact was even more severe.
He bumped his forehead and scraped the skin off.
Fresh blood mixed with snowmelt flowed down.
Xu Qing clasped his hands together.
His eyes were filled with pleading.
He trampled all his self-respect underfoot.
As long as I can get the medicine.
He can do anything.
Old Liu looked at the blood on Xu Qing's forehead.
I felt incredibly unlucky.
"Damn it, can't you understand human language?"
Fueled by alcohol, Lao Liu lost his temper.
He lifted his right foot.
He kicked Xu Qing hard in the shoulder.
Xu Qing was already so cold that she felt weak all over.
That kick sent him sprawling into the snow.
He rolled twice in the snow before stopping.
His whole body was covered in snow.
"What a fucking disappointment." Old Liu spat on the ground.
"If you dare knock on the door again, I'll break your legs."
Old Liu turned around to go back into the house.
Just as he was about to close the door.
Xu Qing got up from the snow.
He lunged forward.
He clung tightly to Lao Liu's right leg with both hands.
Old Liu was startled by this sudden action.
I almost lost my footing and fell in the snow.
"Let go!" Old Liu roared.
He swung his right leg forcefully.
He wanted to get rid of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing did not let go.
Instead, they hugged each other even tighter.
His ten fingers gripped Lao Liu's cotton trousers tightly.
She was hanging on Lao Liu's lap.
Old Liu got anxious.
Old Zhang and Li Mazi inside the house also heard the commotion.
The two men peeked out to check the situation.
"Old Liu, what's going on?" Old Zhang asked, letting out a burp.
"This little mute has gone crazy!" Old Liu exclaimed in exasperation.
Old Liu reached out to pry Xu Qing's fingers off.
Xu Qing's fingers were frozen stiff.
Old Liu broke one off and grabbed the other one.
Xu Qing raised her head.
He looked at Old Liu.
The pleading in his eyes disappeared.
Instead, there was a desperate resolve.
That's the look in the eyes of a desperate criminal.
Xu Qing reached into her inner pocket.
He grasped the sharpened old chopstick.
If Lao Liu still doesn't agree.
He would not hesitate to plunge the chopstick into Lao Liu's femoral artery.
Old Liu saw Xu Qing's actions.
He didn't know what was in Xu Qing's pocket.
But he was completely stunned by Xu Qing's gaze.
This kid is really daring.
Old Liu sobered up halfway.
He didn't want to get involved with a madman over such a trivial matter.
What if this kid actually pulls out a knife?
It wouldn't be worth it to lose my life here.
"Alright, alright!" Old Liu quickly intervened.
"I'm scared of you!"
Old Liu stopped struggling.
He sighed helplessly.
"Let go, I'll go get the first-aid kit."
Xu Qing did not immediately let go.
He continued to stare intently at Lao Liu.
He confirmed that Lao Liu was not lying to him.
Old Liu felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at.
"Let go right now!" Old Liu snapped irritably.
"If you don't let go, I'm really done for."
Xu Qing then slowly released her hands.
He remained kneeling in the snow.
But his hand remained on the edge of his pocket.
Old Liu turned and went into the house.
I pulled a worn-out first-aid kit out of the cabinet.
He grabbed a handful of medicine haphazardly and stuffed it in.
They also took two more antibiotics and a syringe.
Old Zhang watched the commotion from the sidelines.
"Old Liu, you're really going?"
"Can your bones handle this freezing weather?"
Old Liu glared at Old Zhang with annoyance.
"Do you think I want to go?"
"That little bastard is like a persistent ghost."
"If I don't go, he can tear the door down."
Old Liu carried his medical kit out of the clinic.
He locked the door behind him.
"Let's go, let's go, lead the way," Old Liu urged impatiently.
Xu Qing stood up.
He patted the snow off his clothes.
He turned and walked ahead.
Old Liu followed behind, cursing and swearing.
"I must have had the worst luck in the world."
"Out here in the middle of the night to serve you little brats."
The two walked one after the other in the wind and snow.
Xu Qing walked very fast.
He couldn't feel the cold at all.
Jiang Yue was all he could think about.
As long as I get the medicine.
Jiang Yue is saved.
Old Liu was shivering from the cold in the back.
"Slow down! Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Xu Qing turned a deaf ear.
He pushed open the door to the dormitory-style dormitory.
They led Lao Liu directly to the innermost corner.
Old Liu saw Jiang Yue lying unconscious on the bed, burning with fever.
Take a deep breath.
"How did it get burned like this?"
Old Liu put down the first-aid kit.
He reached out and touched Jiang Yue's forehead.
The heat made him immediately pull his hand back.
"His body temperature is almost 40 degrees Celsius."
Xu Qing pointed to Jiang Yue's thigh.
He pulled back the covers.
The wound, which had turned black and was oozing pus, was exposed.
When Old Liu saw the wound, his expression changed completely.
"Biten by a dog?"
Xu Qing nodded.
"Nonsense!" Old Liu shouted angrily.
"Look how badly they got infected before coming to me!"
"If we had waited another day, this leg would have had to be amputated!"
