Chapter 221 Emergency Rescue with the Spiritual Spring, Sui Sui Awakens
Sui Sui felt her vision blur, and she could only vaguely see Zhi Zhi kneeling in front of her.
She tried to speak, but her consciousness kept pulling her away, leaving her without the strength to even lift her hand.
Let it end here. Let the harm her father inflicted on her end here.
Sui Sui slowly closed her eyes, plunging completely into endless darkness.
"Waaah... It's too late."
Tears streamed down Zhizhi's face as she desperately tried to think of a way to save her older sister, Suisui.
But the only thing she could think of was the spiritual spring water in her own space.
The spring water might not work, but she was determined to give it a try.
"Mom! Dad!"
Zhizhi cried out for her family to come over. Jiang Anchao thought she was being called to take Suisui to the hospital, so he picked her up and started to walk outside.
But Deng Qiu stopped him, gripping his arm tightly and giving him a meaningful look.
"Quickly put Sui Sui into the bedroom."
"What? In her current condition, it might not even be possible to get her to the hospital in time. If we leave her in the bedroom, isn't that just waiting for her to die?"
Jiang Anchao was puzzled, but seeing his wife's insistence, he had no choice but to obey.
As soon as they entered the house, Zhizhi vanished into thin air, only to reappear very quickly.
Jiang An looked at Zhi Zhi in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, even though he could see Zhi Zhi standing right in front of him, pouring water onto Sui Sui's neck.
But he was still a little confused.
How did I just see Zhizhi disappear?
Could it be that he's been locked up for too long and is now dizzy and unable to see clearly?
Wait a minute...
Zhizhi spoke quickly, "Mom, get some clean gauze, or a towel will do."
"good!"
Deng Qiu immediately turned around to find a towel to stop the bleeding, and also brought over the Yunnan Baiyao powder that she had previously stocked up at home.
Upon seeing the medicine, Zhizhi didn't hesitate to pour the entire bottle onto it.
Deng Qiu whispered from the side, "Don't worry, it's probably not an artery that's injured, it's probably just a tiny blood vessel. As long as the bleeding stops, it can still be saved."
Han Yubin is a beast; he could be so cruel to his own daughter.
People like that don't even deserve to live in this world.
Sui Sui's neck was bleeding horribly, but the moment Zhi Zhi poured the spiritual spring water on it, the bleeding gradually stopped, and the blood vessels even began to remodel, with the ruptured ones starting to repair themselves.
The effects of the spiritual spring water were extremely rapid; you could see with the naked eye that the bleeding from Sui Sui's neck wound was stopping quickly. However, the wound was too deep, and it would take three days of continuous application for it to heal.
After doing all this, Zhizhi lowered her head and listened to her older sister Suisui's breathing.
After realizing that her breathing and pulse had returned to normal, Zhizhi looked up, her large, moist eyes gazing helplessly at her mother.
"Mom, will this temporarily put her out of danger?"
"Yes."
Deng Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
She lovingly reached out and gently stroked Zhizhi's head. "The bleeding has stopped. The rest can be left to the doctor to handle properly."
Sui Sui used to visit the Jiang family frequently. During that time, she was very healthy and well-fed, with almost no shortage of food or clothing.
Since Anchao was arrested half a month ago, Suisui hasn't had a chance to come over. How come this little child's hands are covered with chilblains and her face has turned sallow?
Han Yubin and Fengmei, this couple, only know how to give birth, but don't know how to raise children; they are not fit to be parents at all.
Deng Qiu turned to look at Jiang Anchao, her eyes filled with worry. She instructed him, "The bathhouse is still open. Go take a shower and change into some new clothes. The army is in chaos, and you'll definitely need to go back and help."
"And what about your side... ..."
Jiang Anchao was still somewhat hesitant. He wasn't worried about the military region, since so many leaders were there to support it, so it wasn't really his turn to go.
But with only the mother and daughter left at home, he was genuinely worried.
He was worried that if something unexpected happened again, there would be no one to lend a hand.
"Oh, stop nagging, just go already."
Deng Qiu's initial concern about him was completely worn away by his constant procrastination.
She coldly dismissed Jiang Anchao.
Only after the person was driven away did the bedroom become completely quiet.
Deng Qiu looked at Zhi Zhi, her gentle and calm face showing a hint of seriousness. "Zhi Zhi, your father will definitely be suspicious. I've sent him away now. You need to think carefully about whether you want to be honest with him about the space."
The little cub raised her head; she had only been focused on saving her older sister Sui Sui and hadn't thought about anything else.
So she entered the space directly in front of her parents and her unconscious sister Sui Sui, and after taking the spiritual spring water, she gave it to her sister Sui Sui to use.
In fact, she didn't know what the ingredients of the spiritual spring water were.
For so long, everyone assumed it was her secret recipe.
Now that Dad has found out, there's really no need to hide it anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Zhizhi spoke slowly in her soft, sweet voice: "I think since we're all family, Dad can't be stupid. Second brother is a clueless bum who just eats food and doesn't care about anything, but doesn't eldest brother know that? Doesn't Dad have any suspicions at all? Why don't we just tell him about the space? Anyway, as long as our family works together to make a good life, then Zhizhi has nothing to hide."
Hearing her daughter's innocent and carefree words, Deng Qiu's expression revealed a rare look of worry.
It took her a long time to process the existence of this space.
After all, it is something beyond the realm of natural cognition, and normal people would find it difficult to understand.
But since Zhizhi has said so, I have nothing to worry about.
Having spent so much time with Jiang Anchao, I've come to understand his temperament quite well. He's simple-minded and just likes to lie low all the time.
A man who only likes a wife, kids, and a warm bed wouldn't necessarily have any malicious intentions after learning about the space.
"Okay, then let's find a time to tell your father the truth about this secret."
*
After working late into the night, Zhizhi confirmed that Suisui's vital signs were returning to normal, and the doctor told the patient to rest.
She let her older sister, Sui Sui, sleep in her own bedroom.
She took her mother's hand and went out to the military dependents' home to check on the situation.
Since the incident in the afternoon when Han Yubin kidnapped Sui Sui, the entire military dependents' compound has been strictly sealed off, with yellow police tape everywhere.
Soldiers conducting body searches also come and go. Everyone entering and leaving the military dependents' compound, including family members and children, must undergo a body search before they can enter or leave.
There would have been people who opposed this regulation.
But since it was Chinese New Year, most of the neighbors were staying at home preparing for the holiday, so almost everyone witnessed the emergency that happened today.
No one dared to object to being searched.
They are also afraid that similar heinous incidents will happen again.
As a result, everyone became incredibly cowardly, staying at home unless absolutely necessary, and not daring to go out and wander around.
From afar, Zhizhi watched as her uncle and aunt smoked and chatted under the streetlights at the alley entrance, both of them with somewhat serious expressions.
Zhizhi, curious, took short steps, wanting to run over.
When she was about ten steps away from them, Zhizhi suddenly stopped.
She vaguely heard her aunt's words.
“Jiang Anchao and Deng Qiu will not agree to take the child away.”
"You have to agree whether you like it or not; this is Jiang's additional requirement."
Bai Qi took a drag of her cigarette, turned her head and exhaled the smoke. As the white smoke swirled and gradually dissipated, she spotted the little cub with pinpoint accuracy.
Almost instantly and subconsciously, Bai Qi threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it out.
Ji Chenxing also noticed the child and silently stood in front of Bai Qi.
Both of them stubbed out their cigarettes and strode towards Zhizhi.
Bai Qi looked flustered, but smiled cautiously at Zhi Zhi, "Baby, when did you run over here?"
She waved her hand frantically, afraid that the smoke would choke the child.
She even lowered her head to smell if there was any lingering odor on her body, fearing that Zhizhi would hate her after learning about this bad habit.
She had previously disguised herself as a man in the military camp, and inevitably learned to smoke by interacting with friends. She would only have one cigarette when the pressure became unbearable.
Unexpectedly, the cub discovered it at this time.
This was a significant blow to her.
Zhizhi successfully caught the panic and worry in Bai Qi's eyes.
Zhizhi sighed softly and gently took her aunt's hand with her soft little hand. "I heard what you were saying just now, Aunt. Do you really want to take Zhizhi away to him?"
Bai Qi was taken aback by her question.
She was stunned for a long time. She couldn't help but ask herself, even if Jiang Gong wanted Zhizhi to stay by his side for her own good.
Should I really follow his ideas and disregard Zhizhi's wishes?
"So, sweetie, do you want to live with Jiang Yan?"
"In no mood."
Without any hesitation, Zhizhi shook her head.
She was certain that she didn't want to, regardless of whether Jiang Yan truly wanted to make amends or be a qualified and responsible father.
She doesn't really need them.
The fact that she could forgive Jiang Yan for not appearing in her life for so many years already shows that she is very cultured and kind-hearted.
If Jiang Yan still holds the same attitude as before and insists on taking himself away from An Chao's father.
She would rather hang herself with a noodle or smash her head against a tofu block than agree to it.
Yes, her determination was that strong.
The cub's resolute refusal gradually began to shake Bai Qi's resolve.
As a soldier, obeying orders is an innate trait she has been trained in. It would be very difficult for her to go against the organization's wishes.
On one hand, there are orders from above, and on the other hand, there are the child's own opinions.
Bai Qi turned to look at Ji Chenxing as if seeking help.
I hope he can give me some advice.
"Don't look at me like that." Ji Chenxing said calmly, not sparing a single extra expression. "I said from the beginning that Jiang Yan helping Jiang Anchao was what he should do. To put it bluntly, it was a mess he made himself. It was a private matter that the Jiang family settled behind closed doors. Our Ji family will not accept this favor from him. As for my sister Enning's matter, Jiang Yan is to blame. Don't even think about giving up Zhizhi."
