It was past one o'clock at night, and the hail had stopped long ago.
The entire Qingta Hutong fell into silence.
There was only a little Pekingese raised by someone in the distance, somewhere in the suburbs, or somewhere nearby, that kept barking.
The Fu family's small courtyard was not affected. The family survived the hailstorm that pounded the roof, and now they are all sleeping quietly.
“咚——”
"Dong dong——"
"Dong dong dong——"
A dull sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded outside.
It wasn't very real at first. Fu Jingyou thought it was a dream and fell asleep, so he didn't care.
The sounds from behind are getting more and more real and dense.
He just woke up with a start. He was shirtless and didn't bother to put on clothes. He hurried out to see the situation.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, a person fell face to face.
Using the dim street light to see who it was, Fu Jingyou was startled and quickly caught the person.
After the hailstorm, the temperature outside has increased, but it is not as hot as usual.
The breeze was blowing, and it was quite cool and comfortable to sleep with a blanket at night.
But Xie Fei's wet clothes stayed on his body and he didn't change them, and he didn't recover from the cold he suffered earlier.
It took me three or four hours of walking and running all the way from the South Third Ring Road to get here. I sweated a little and was immediately swept away by the breeze.
At this moment, the body temperature is not much better than before, and it is still out of balance.
The person’s teeth were chattering, his reaction was slow, and his consciousness was not that clear.
What kind of business is this?
Fu Jingyou took the person back to the side room, pulled the blanket and wrapped the person up.
He stood up and was about to go out. Xie Fei regained some consciousness and grabbed him. With trembling hands, he pulled a plastic bag from his arms and stuffed it into him.
What the hell?
Fu Jingyou took a casual look, and his tone immediately became urgent:
"You can come over tomorrow, but you have to do it at this time? Where can I find a room for you in the middle of the night? Really? Don’t die!”
Throwing the plastic bag back on the bed, Fu Jingyou knocked on the window of the upper room in the courtyard. After hearing his wife's vague response inside, he pushed the door open and entered the main room to turn on the light.
Lu Miao, sleepy-eyed, came out wearing clothes:
“What’s wrong?”
Fu Jingyou whispered:
“Xie Fei is here .”
"What?"
Lu Miao was startled and quickly covered her mouth after realizing it.
Looking at her watch quickly, she lowered her voice and asked:
"It's o'clock, are you here?"
Fu Jingyou nodded: "He brought his bankbook over. At that time, we asked how much we paid for the yard, probably because we wanted to move out.”
"It's such a late night... why is there such a rush? I'm not afraid of rolling into any river in the dark!"
Lu Miao frowned and looked out:
"Where are the people?"< br>
“In the side room.”
Fu Jingyou tucked the collar of the clothes she put on her shoulders and walked in front to show her.
Lu Miao took advantage of the situation to put on her gown on the way.
Going to the side room, she saw Xie Fei, who was shaking as if he had turned on the vibration function. She bowed and walked closer, putting her hand on him first.
“It’s so cold!”
“Do I have to go to the hospital?”
“No, no, no!”
Lu Miao said anxiously: "Low temperature can kill people. We can't send him to the hospital directly. The same process is still used to send him to the hospital!"
"Burn the kang, hurry up! Let his body temperature slow down first!"
Her tone was urgent, and Fu Jingyou didn't dare to delay.
I put on my coat hastily, and quickly went to the kitchen to get kindling and briquettes to get busy.
Lu Miao didn’t have time to spare either.
He went back to the upper room and brought two clean clothes over, asking Fu Jingyou to take the time to change Xie Fei into them. She turned around and went to the kitchen to light a fire and cut ginger shreds, so busy that she kept walking.
During this period, the lights in the upper house also turned on.
Fu Jingyou called Lu Miao.
Lu Miao poked her head out and saw it. She immediately felt guilty and quickly put down the kitchen knife and went to the room.
Gu Ying woke up.
When Lu Miao opened the door and entered the house, she was sitting on the kang and looked out by the window.
Lu Miao coughed and said with a smile:
“Are I bothering you?”
Gu Ying looked away and shook her head:
"No, I see it's still dark outside, so you got up and got busy. Did something happen?"
She hasn't been able to sit still for a day since her confinement. How dare Lu Miao tell her about Xie Fei? situation?
I just lied and explained:
"No, wasn't there hail last night? Someone came from Brother You's factory, saying that it crushed a shed or something, and asked him to come over. Look, I’ll get him some food and ask him to eat before he goes.”
This explanation is quite reasonable.
Gu Ying nodded thoughtfully.
She was worried just now whether she had disturbed this place, or whether Xie Fei was here?
When I was in a daze just now, I seemed to hear someone mention Xie Fei's name.
She glanced out the window again, it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
Thinking that Xie Fei would definitely not come here at this point, he felt a little relieved.
Lu Miao took advantage of the situation to comfort her:
"Lie down and sleep, don't stay up, I will be here in a moment."
Gu Ying nodded.
After all, someone who just had a miscarriage is still weak.
Gu Ying didn't force herself to hold on, so she lay down again obediently.
Lu Miao closed the door and just breathed a sigh of relief when Fu Jingyou called her softly from outside.
She walked out quickly:
"What's wrong?"
Fu Jingyou didn't say anything, and only showed her Xie Fei's wet shirt.
Just now Xie Fei was wrapped in a blanket, and neither Fu Jingyou nor Lu Miao noticed.
Fu Jingyou changed Xie Fei's clothes and realized something was wrong.
Lu Miao felt dizzy and exclaimed in a low voice:
“Where’s the blood? Was he robbed on the road?”
“I don’t know, there’s a big gash on his arm. , people are so confused now that they can’t ask anything.”
Lu Miao frowned and sighed in a low voice.
After checking the condition of Xie Fei's arm, Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to make ginger soup.
I quietly went into the house and brought the medical kit over.
There are children at home, so simple and commonly used potions and the like are still available.
Xie Fei was lying on the kang, and Lu Miao rolled up his sleeves. The small light bulb in the room was dim and he couldn't see clearly.
She lit another kerosene lamp and placed it nearby, and then briefly helped Xie Fei treat his wounds.
I don’t know how it was done. Although the wound no longer bleeds, the skin and flesh are swollen and outward, and it looks very deep.
Having been covered by a wet gown for a long time, the surrounding skin turned bluish white, which looked very scary at first glance.
Lu Miao hated seeing such a bloody scene.
But there was nothing I could do now. I could only bite my lip and apply it to my scalp with gauze and cotton swabs.
Fu Jingyou cooked the ginger soup for her and brought it over, looked at it for a while and said:
"The car is parked a little far away. I'm going to drive the car back first."
Lu Miao said "hmm" and frowned without being distracted.
Her throat rolled and she swallowed, and she continued to give Xie Fei the final bandage.
After finishing his busy work, Lu Miao was sweating a lot.
She shivered when the breeze blew at night.
Without delaying for too long, she quickly collected the medicine box, picked up the ginger soup, gently pushed the dazed Xie Fei, and called him to get up and drink some.
After burning the kang and drinking ginger soup, Xie Fei gradually stopped shaking so badly. (End of this chapter)
