Chapter 220 Not Afraid of Death
Zhou Xiye and Chen Limin left, leaving only Jiang Zhizhi and Song Man in the ward.
Jiang Zhizhi pulled up a stool and sat down beside Song Man's hospital bed, taking her thin, dry hand in hers: "Sister Song Man, can you feel the temperature of my hand? Is it very cold? We just came from outside, it was already dark, but it snowed very heavily, the snowflakes were like goose feathers, flying and fluttering all over the sky."
"It's so beautiful. I don't have your literary romance, so I can't even describe it. Anyway, it's just beautiful."
"I love these snowflakes. They land on my eyelashes like butterflies. They're so pretty."
As Song Man listened to Jiang Zhizhi's chatter, the tears in her eyes slowly dried, replaced by a bright light, as she became engrossed in the scene Jiang Zhizhi was describing.
Jiang Zhizhi observed the changes in Song Man's expression and rubbed her hand: "Sister Song Man, if a person dies, everything is gone, and they can no longer see any beautiful things. The things that disappoint us are only one in hundreds of thousands compared to these beautiful things."
"Is it worth giving up so much beauty in the world just for a little disappointment?"
The tears that Song Man had just held back suddenly flowed out again.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't try to stop her, but went to get a towel and gently wiped her down.
Song Man silently shed tears for a while, then looked at Jiang Zhizhi and said, "Zhizhi, thank you."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and held her hand: "I didn't do anything, why are you thanking me? Sister Song Man, there are many ways to live, but you must live for yourself at least once. Do what you like, go to the places you like."
"You love words so much and have read so many books, there must be something you yearn for, Sister Song Man. If you're not afraid of death, why are you afraid of living?"
Song Man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Zhizhi, you are such a good girl. Zhou Xiye is lucky to have found you."
Jiang Zhizhi chuckled, "I think so too, Sister Song Man. Get well soon and do what you love. I look forward to seeing you write a book."
A light slowly returned to Song Man's eyes; she loved life and she loved writing.
When Chen Limin came in again, she saw Song Man talking gently to Jiang Zhizhi with a faint smile on her face, which instantly made her seem much more lively.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I held back!
That afternoon, her son had threatened her, saying that if she continued to talk nonsense in front of Song Man, he would take Song Man away and never come home again.
He walked to the bedside and looked at Song Man: "Xiao Man, do you want some porridge? I'll take it to the kitchen and heat it up."
Song Man nodded and said gently and politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Mom."
Chen Limin felt particularly desolate. She was competitive and hoped for the best for her children, but in the end, this was her fate.
I still took my lunchbox out.
Jiang Zhizhi waited for Chen Limin to heat up the porridge before leaving to find Zhou Xiye.
In Zhou Xiaochuan's ward, Zhou Chengzhi was there, along with two older doctors. Zhou Xiye stood by the window, watching the two doctors examine Zhou Xiaochuan.
Even Wang Xiaoliu was standing in the corner of the ward, looking at Zhou Xiaochuan with nervousness and worry.
Jiang Zhizhi slipped in through the door and quietly stood next to Zhou Xiye.
I also took a closer look at Xiao Chuan's changes. Both of his wrists were covered with red bumps, layer upon layer, which was quite alarming.
Zhou Xiaochuan's appearance also seemed to have changed a bit; his eyes were slightly swollen, and his eyeballs seemed to bulge out a little.
After the doctor finished the examination, he frowned as he looked at Zhou Chengzhi: "It's really strange. His heart and lung functions are fine, but it's just on his hands. It looks like poisoning, but I've never seen this kind of poison before, and it can't be detected in his blood."
Another doctor agreed: "There is another possibility that the poisoning is only a symptom, and the changes in the blood have not yet appeared. Therefore, we need to find out what kind of poison it is as soon as possible in order to treat the symptoms."
"We can't delay any longer; we need to find the cause as soon as possible."
The terrifying thing about the unknown is not knowing how fast the toxin spreads.
Zhou Chengzhi thanked the two doctors, saw them out, and prepared to go to his office to continue discussing treatment options.
He even considered that if he had to save his life, he might have to have his limbs amputated if all else failed.
Wang Xiaoliu quickly went over and looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with concern: "Xiaochuan, it's okay, you'll be fine. Think carefully again, did you touch anything?"
"Anyway, when we were together, we ate, lived, traveled, used the same things, and went to the same places. It's not like you got poisoned while I didn't."
"Is there any place you've been to that I haven't?"
Jiang Zhizhi stared in disbelief. She had met Wang Xiaoliu before, but only knew that he also lived in the compound, was the sixth child in his family, and his real name was Wang Yongjun.
She has a clever and delicate appearance, but I never expected her to have such a tea-like side.
Zhou Xiye frowned and glanced at Wang Xiaoliu a few times, then looked at Zhou Xiaochuan.
Zhou Xiaochuan just frowned, somewhat annoyed: "How would I know? I've thought about it too. I haven't touched any weird stuff."
Wang Xiaoliu looked surprised: "That shouldn't be the case. Think about it again. I'll go back and help you think about it too. Don't worry, I'll always be there for you and we'll definitely find out the reason."
He glanced at the time and said, "I'll head back now. I'll come see you again tomorrow night."
Zhou Xiaochuan grunted but didn't say anything. He saw Jiang Zhizhi, but because Zhou Xiye was there, he didn't dare to make a sound.
Wang Xiaoliu grabbed a cotton hat from the corner of the hospital bed, put it on his head, and hurriedly walked out.
Seeing him leave, Jiang Zhizhi rubbed her stomach and whispered to Zhou Xiye, "My stomach hurts a little. I'm going to the bathroom. Wait for Dad to come back."
Zhou Xiye knew Jiang Zhizhi too well: "Go ahead, but be careful."
No sooner had Jiang Zhizhi stepped out than Zhou Xiaochuan stammered for a moment, "Brother, am I going to die?"
He wasn't scared before yesterday, but when he woke up today, his wrists were covered in bumps and started to hurt.
The fact that they couldn't find the cause made him very scared.
Zhou Xiye frowned: "Don't overthink it, cooperate with the treatment! Answer my questions honestly."
Because he was afraid of dying, Zhou Xiaochuan became more obedient: "I've always told the truth about what you asked me."
Zhou Xiye stared silently at Zhou Xiaochuan, his sharp eyes seeming to see right through him, making Zhou Xiaochuan inexplicably uneasy. He looked away, not daring to look at Zhou Xiye.
Do you remember when the file folder was switched?
Zhou Xiaochuan nodded: "Of course I remember, it almost caused a big problem."
Zhou Xiye frowned: "You took the file folder, but did Xiao Liu take it?"
Zhou Xiaochuan's eyes widened in confusion: "Why are you asking this? Do you suspect that Xiao Liu switched the file? Impossible, he didn't even touch it. I asked him to get it for me, and he said that such an important thing as the file shouldn't be taken by just anyone..."
Zhou Xiye looked at the foolish Zhou Xiaochuan: "You're a pig. Sometimes you need to use your brain!"
