Meanwhile, at the hospital, Xia Tao, Li Chengjun, and Wu Xiangdong sat around Wu Sangui's bedside, quietly waiting for him to wake up. A tense and solemn atmosphere filled the ward.
Wu Xiangdong looked anxious and paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "How long are we going to have to wait? Why hasn't he woken up yet..."
Li Chengjun couldn't stand it any longer. He glared at Wu Xiangdong and shouted reproachfully, "Can't you just stay quiet for a while? Walking around like this is only making everyone more agitated!"
After being reprimanded by Li Chengjun, Wu Xiangdong was stunned for a moment, then gave a slightly embarrassed smile, scratched his head and explained apologetically, "Oh, Captain Li, I was just too worried."
You wouldn't believe it, Uncle Sangui is such a kind person. Whenever anyone encounters difficulties, he will lend a helping hand without hesitation.
Take my grandfather for example. When he was seriously ill, he urgently needed money, and it was Uncle Sangui who generously lent us some!
So when I saw him lying unconscious in the hospital bed, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
At this point, the deep worry on Wu Xiangdong's face became even more pronounced.
However, Li Chengjun seems to find it difficult to share the same emotional resonance with Wu Xiangdong.
He maintained his stern, cold expression and corrected me again, "How many times have I told you, don't call me Captain Li! I'm retired now, there's no need to address me that way."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiangdong was taken aback at first, then suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed as if he had just realized something: "Oh right, right, Brother Jun, look at my memory! I forget everything when I get excited!"
It's no wonder Wu Xiangdong lost his composure; the title "Captain Li" was deeply ingrained in his mind, making it hard for him to forget.
Just then, Wu Sangui, who had been lying quietly on the hospital bed, suddenly twitched his slightly trembling fingers.
Wu Xiangdong, with his sharp eyes, was the first to notice this subtle movement. Overjoyed, he shouted, "Third Uncle is awake! Third Uncle is awake!"
As soon as the exclamation rang out, several people seemed to be under a spell, instantly swarming around the hospital bed, their faces filled with concern and expectation.
Wu Sangui slowly opened his eyes, but his gaze was incredibly confused, as if he had just woken up from a long and deep dream.
After a while, his vision gradually cleared, and he finally saw the familiar faces surrounding the bed.
"What...what happened to me?" Wu Sangui asked in an extremely weak voice, which sounded listless, like a candle flickering in the wind that might be extinguished at any moment.
Standing to the side, Xia Tao quickly replied, "Third Uncle, you just fainted on the road! We were all so scared! That's why we rushed you to the hospital."
After listening, Wu Sangui briefly recalled what had happened before, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, saying helplessly, "Alas... I guess it's my old problem acting up again. There's just been too much going on lately, it's really worn me out."
However, only he himself knew best that today was not actually a recurrence of his so-called old ailment.
Actually, he had planned to go to the hospital to buy some medicine today, but on the way, he suddenly experienced an abnormal condition—he felt extremely hot all over, and his consciousness began to become blurred.
At this moment, as Wu Sangui tried to recall that terrible feeling, he still couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
Fortunately, he has regained consciousness and seems to be alright, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
When he was in a state of delirium, he encountered a woman, and it seems he did something to her before being knocked unconscious!
At this moment, there was no way to truthfully explain his current situation to these people, so Wu Sangui decided to give a vague answer first.
However, to his surprise, Xia Tao, this hothead, was far too straightforward and relentlessly pressed on, asking, "Uncle Wu, what exactly is your chronic ailment? I clearly remember that you only had back pain before, how come it got so bad this time that you fainted?"
Faced with Xia Tao's aggressive questioning, Wu Sangui was stunned. He opened his mouth and closed it again, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
He inwardly groaned, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Just then, the captain, like a savior, rushed over and finally rescued Wu Sangui, who was extremely embarrassed and sweating profusely.
As soon as the captain entered the room, he saw that Wu Sangui had already woken up and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.
He hurried to the bedside, looked at Wu Sangui with concern, and asked loudly, "Sangui, you must take better care of yourself! What happened? Why did you suddenly faint?"
Wu Sangui gave a wry smile and replied somewhat helplessly, "Brother, I'm fine, just a little weak. There's so much to do at the brigade, why did you have to make this trip?"
He knows his condition and that he'll be fine after resting for a while, so why would he need to be hospitalized?
In fact, he knew very well that the children must have panicked when they saw him faint, and in their haste, they quickly notified the brigade leader.
