Chapter 22 Gu Nan is injured
Zhao Chunhong finally accepted the buns, cleared out the basket, and returned the empty basket to Yu Hui.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu."
Yu Hui curled her lips, turned around and left with the child.
Seeing that his stepmother had gone out and had not returned, Gu Nan left the east wing and walked into the kitchen.
I saw that there was not a single bun on the stove or on the chopping board, but there were some dough pieces on the chopping board.
Gu Nan was almost crying with anger. His stepmother took away all the buns and left none for him and his brother.
Just as he was feeling angry, he suddenly realized that although the buns were gone, the aroma of buns in the kitchen became stronger and stronger.
When I turned my head, I saw a big pot steaming.
Obviously, there are big buns steaming in the pot.
Gu Nan moved the small stool to the stove, stepped on it, and reached out to lift the wooden pot lid.
Before I even touched the lid of the pot, the steam coming out of the edge of the pot burned my wrist.
"It's so hot..." He hurriedly withdrew his hand, his small body swayed, and the small stool under his feet also shook unsteadily. He fell directly off the stool, and his head hit the stove when he fell.
The stove was made of bricks and covered with cement, so it was very hard that Gu Nan hit his head on it.
"Ahhh..." Gu Nan fell to the ground and cried in pain.
Gu Dong, who was in the house, heard his crying and hurried into the kitchen.
Seeing him lying on the ground with blood all over his forehead and half of his face, he turned pale with fright.
When he saw the stool lying on the ground, he knew what was going on.
"Nannan..." Gu Dong hurried forward to help his brother.
"Brother, my head hurts, woo woo..."
"I'm bleeding so much. Am I going to die..." Gu Nan was so scared that he cried even louder.
Gu Dong's voice was shaking with anxiety, and he was terrified. "No, no, I, I'll take you to the infirmary..."
Yu Jianshe heard Gu Nan crying at home. Worried that something had happened, he walked out of the house and entered Gu's yard.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Gu Dong dragging Gu Nan, whose face was covered in blood, out of the kitchen.
He was startled and ran over to ask, "What's going on? Why is there so much blood?"
Gu Dong cried and said, "Nannan was standing on a stool, trying to lift the lid of the pot to eat some buns, but she fell down and hit her head."
"We have to go to the infirmary quickly." Yu Jianshe picked up Gu Nan and ran, with Gu Dong following behind.
Not long after running, they met Yu Hui and a few others who were walking back.
Everyone was startled, and Yu Hui was even more shocked. She asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
Yu Jianshe's arms were so weak that Gu Nan almost fell onto his thighs. "He was standing on a stool, lifting the lid of the pot to get the buns, and he fell and hit his head."
"Why are you so careless?" Seeing that Yu Jianshe could no longer hold Gu Nan, Yu Hui took Gu Nan from his arms.
"Where is the infirmary? Take me there quickly." The military hospital is some distance away from here, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk there. The infirmary is closer.
In Gu Nan’s current condition, he needs to go to the infirmary to stop the bleeding first.
"I know." Gu Dong ran to the front to lead the way.
Yu Hui ran behind with Gu Nan in her arms. Yu Jianshe asked Yu Lixin to take the frightened Gu Xixi home. No one was at home in either house at the moment and the doors were open, so someone had to go back and guard them.
Yu Hui carried Gu Nan all the way to the infirmary. People along the way saw them and asked what happened and why the child's face was covered in blood.
Yu Huike had no time to deal with them. Yu Jianshe was afraid that these people would misunderstand it was Aunt Yu, so he told the people who asked that Gu Nan fell and hit himself when Aunt Yu was not at home.
The frightened Gu Nan was in his stepmother's arms, holding on to her clothes tightly, afraid that he would fall again.
His stepmother's arms were warm and had a faint smell of soap, which was different from the smell of his mother. His mother always smelled good, but his mother had never held him like this before.
He could hear his stepmother's rapid and heavy heartbeat, and her rapid breathing because she was running too fast.
For some reason, when he felt the warmth in his stepmother's arms and heard her heartbeat and breathing, he gradually became less afraid.
Gu Beibei, who was on her mother's back, rolled her eyes and felt a little dizzy.
"Doctor, my child hit his head. Please take a look and do something about it." As soon as Yu Hui ran into the infirmary, she panted and said to the middle-aged man in a white coat who was sitting on a chair reading a book.
The doctor on duty in the infirmary was named Sun. When he saw a young woman running in with a child whose face was covered in blood, he quickly stood up and asked her to hold the child and sit on the stool in front.
Yu Hui sat on a stool, holding Gu Nan on her lap.
"Uncle Sun, please save my brother." Doctor Sun was taking medicine and gauze. He noticed Gu Dong when he heard his voice. He looked at him, then looked at the woman holding the child, and the child in her arms.
It was then discovered that the injured child was the second child in Gu Huai's family, and the young woman was Gu Huai's new wife.
He had also heard about the Gu family yesterday. Seeing that Gu Nan had hit his head again, his expression changed when he looked at Yu Hui.
If the injury on the child's head was caused by her, he would report it to the leadership of the military region.
Yu Hui was worried about Gu Nan in her arms and didn't notice that there was something wrong with the look in Dr. Sun's eyes.
Doctor Sun used tweezers to hold a cotton ball and cleaned the blood off Gu Nan's face and forehead, and only then could he see the wound on his forehead clearly.
There was a cut on the left forehead, half a knuckle long. The bleeding had slowed down now, and the wound didn't look deep.
When Dr. Sun used iodine to disinfect the wound, Gu Nan screamed in pain and drew his head back.
“It hurts, wuwu…”
"Don't move, don't be afraid, it will be over soon. Once the wound is treated and the medicine is applied, it will heal quickly, otherwise the pain will last longer." Yu Hui hugged Gu Nan and comforted him softly.
"Our Nan Nan is a little man, the strongest and bravest. He can definitely endure this little pain, right?" For the naughty child Gu Nan, Yu Hui used the tricks she used to coax children in the orphanage.
Her voice seemed to have a calming effect, and Gu Nan was not so scared anymore, but he still cried softly with a pout in grievance.
It was the first time that someone coaxed him so gently, and Gu Nan felt a feeling he had never felt before.
Doctor Sun raised his eyelids and glanced at Yu Hui in surprise. This didn't sound like the words of a vicious stepmother, and it wasn't something that could comfort a child.
"When we get back, we'll eat big meat buns with delicious meatball soup, okay?" While Dr. Sun was treating Gu Nan's wound, Yu Hui was coaxing Gu Nan gently.
Gu Nan endured the pain and said, "Okay~"
"How many meat buns does our Nan Nan want to eat later?"
“…”
Doctor Sun put gauze on Gu Nan and said, "The wound isn't deep, just broken skin. It's not serious. Bring the child back tomorrow morning to change the dressing. Three changes should be enough."
"No need to take medicine. When you go back, pay attention to whether the child has a fever at night. If he has a fever, send him directly to the military hospital."
"Eat a light diet these days and give your child something nutritious."
Yu Huimen had no idea how to care for an injured child, but she still nodded and listened carefully.
"Gu Dong, how did your brother get injured?" Doctor Sun asked Gu Dong.
