Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character
Chapter 39 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction
With the college entrance examination registration time approaching, Ji Chaoxi worked very hard, getting up early in the morning to start memorizing her lessons, without even needing Qin Du to wake her up.
Just when the whole family was worried about the two children, an accident happened.
Qin's mother contracted a severe lung infection and asthma.
This is actually an old problem of Qin's mother's; she does this every winter. It's just that this year, every corner was sealed off, so there was no way for any wind to get in.
Just a few days ago, Qin's mother had a rosy complexion, but suddenly her face turned pale. She lay weakly in bed, unable to catch her breath, and coughed almost all night.
Qin Du and his family took Qin's mother to the health center. After the doctor examined her, he told them that the health center did not have the necessary medicine and that they would have to go to the county hospital.
However, because the road to the entrance of the avalanche village had long been blocked, people with good physical strength could barely get out, but carts could not be dragged out at all.
"What medicine do you need? I'll go to the county to buy it," Qin Du said without hesitation.
The doctor glanced at him and said, "Aminophylline and penicillin, but these drugs are hard to get. You need connections even to get them to the county level, and they're very expensive."
Ji Zhuxin was also shocked when she heard the price of the medicine. She looked at Qin Du, whose eyes were red, and comforted him, "It's okay, Qin Du, I'll go ask for you."
No matter how mature Qin Du may seem, he's still just a kid at heart.
Ji Zhuxin put on her coat and went to find the village chief's wife. Upon hearing this, the village chief's wife immediately wrote a letter to Ji Zhuxin.
She held Ji Zhuxin's hand tightly: "Don't worry, give this letter to the hospital, they will give you the medicine."
Ji Zhuxin's eyes reddened: "Sister Cuiping, you've helped me so much in this life."
Cuiping paused for a moment, then patted her hand: "It's alright, go ahead."
Watching Ji Zhuxin's retreating figure, Cuiping sighed.
That's all she can do for her. As for the child, that's up to fate.
When Ji Zhuxin returned to the health center, Qin's mother had already taken her medicine and fallen asleep. Her face was swollen from her illness, and she was completely unrecognizable from how she looked a few days ago.
Ji Zhuxin, panting, stuffed the money and letter into Qin Du's hands.
"Qin Du, hurry up and go to the county to buy medicine. Your mother and tide tide will watch over things."
Qin Du's eyes were red-rimmed. He lowered his head and blinked hard, as if trying his best to suppress something.
"What are you still standing there for?"
The next second, with a thud, Qin Du knelt straight down in front of Ji Zhuxin.
His voice was incredibly hoarse: "Sister Zhuxin, when I finally make something of myself, I will definitely repay you and Xixi."
Ji Zhuxin and Ji Chaoxi were startled by him and quickly helped him up.
"What's wrong with you, kid? Oh dear, don't say such things, go buy the medicine quickly." Ji Zhuxin's eyes also reddened.
"Xixi, go see your brother Qindu off."
Ji Chaoxi's voice was trembling with tears: "Brother Qin Du, please get up."
She was carrying a package filled with food and some light daily necessities. She didn't know how long it would take to walk to the county town.
The two stood at the door. Qin Du was extremely silent, while Ji Chaoxi wiped away her tears and said, "Brother Qin Du, you must be careful."
Just as the two were parting, Qin Du suddenly hugged her tightly, so tightly that it hurt her.
He didn't say a word, but just looked at her deeply, then turned and walked into the mountains with his bag on his back.
The medicine from the health center wouldn't last long, and Qin's mother looked even worse. She lay in bed, barely eating a few bites of food all day.
Her cough grew louder and louder that night, and gradually, she began to cough up blood. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Ji Chaoxi with pleading eyes.
Ji Chaoxi didn't dare to respond to her, but kept applying a warm towel to Qin's mother's neck to relieve some of her pain.
For two whole days, Qin's mother remained in this state; the skin on her hands was very thin, the veins were clearly visible, and her skin tone was gradually darkening.
Ji Chaoxi's eyes were red, and he held her hand, not daring to move.
She was scared. Her grandmother's hands looked like this when she passed away, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Qin Du hadn't returned yet, and Ji Zhu was extremely anxious. She didn't know the situation outside or where he was, but the old man's condition was getting worse and worse.
At first, the medicine from the health center could help for a while, but now it has no effect on her at all.
On the third day, Li Ergou suddenly appeared at the Qin family's house.
He ran in, panting, his face cracked from the cold: "Sister Zhuxin, Qin Du's medicine."
Ji Chaoxi looked at Li Ergou and quickly poured him a cup of hot water: "Why is it you? Where's Qin Du?"
Li Ergou gulped down some water, and his breathing finally calmed down: "There's a temporary job in the county that hauls timber. He can earn ten yuan for three days. He went there."
He handed the medicine to them, saying, "This medicine should last about a week. He probably wants to earn more money to buy more medicine."
The door creaked open, and an old man walked in unsteadily. Li Ergou quickly helped him up.
"Is the First Madam alright?" The old woman's hands trembled, and all her teeth had fallen out.
As Ji Zhuxin fed Qin's mother her medicine, she didn't forget to reply, "She had a terrible cough these past few days, but she's better now. With the medicine, she shouldn't cough anymore."
Seeing Qin's mother's state, the old woman wiped away her tears. Li Ergou whispered, "Mother, don't worry, the medicine has been delivered, hasn't it?"
The old man used to be a servant in the Qin family, always by Qin's mother's side, but after Qin's father was criticized and denounced, all the servants scattered.
Ji Chaoxi and Li Ergou walked to the door.
"Was Brother Qin Du alright at the time?" Ji Chaoxi asked anxiously.
Li Ergou guiltily avoided her gaze: "I'm fine."
Actually, it wasn't very good. At that time, all his clothes were torn, his body was covered in wounds, and the wounds on his hands were frostbitten and turned purple.
Ji Chaoxi knew he was lying the moment she saw him like this: "Tell me the truth right now."
"Ugh," Li Ergou said impatiently, "Think about it yourself, he might get hurt if he goes down the mountain alone."
"My mother and I ran into him at the foot of the mountain. He gave the medicine to my mother, explained things, and then left."
Ji Chaoxi's eyes reddened instantly. Li Ergou glanced at her and sighed, "Don't tell Qin Du that I told you. He told me not to tell you."
How did these two suddenly become so close?
The sound of crying could be heard from inside the house from time to time, which gave Li Ergou a headache.
"Did he come back after finishing that temporary job?" Ji Chaoxi asked, her voice choked with emotion.
Li Ergou leaned against the wall: "Probably."
Ji Chaoxi suddenly remembered what Chen Yiping had told her and wiped away her tears.
"Chen Yiping asked if you wanted to take the college entrance exam. If you did, he could lend you some books."
Li Ergou looked at her in surprise; he hadn't heard the name Chen Yiping in a long time.
It feels like playing with him was something from a past life; he suddenly disappeared and didn't leave the house for several months.
Later he found out that they were all going to take the college entrance exam.
