"Get in the car quickly, we'll go to the hospital right away." Xia Shige said to the mother and son.
The property management staff quickly helped to carry the child into the car and let the mother and child sit firmly in the back seat. Xia Shige drove the mother and child out of the community.
On the way, Xia Shige learned from the young woman's sobbing words that the mother and son were the owners of 6-2702, and the Huanhuan in the group was her.
Huanhuan has been taking care of her son Dabao alone during this period. Her husband is in charge of renovating the community affected by the recent tornado in the city. He has been busy these days and has no time to go home.
Huanhuan and her son live on the 27th floor. The temperature on the upper floors is even higher. Since the power supply was limited, the child has been complaining of discomfort and has had a low-grade fever since last night.
Huanhuan took care of the child and did not dare to sleep all night. She kept wiping the child's body with alcohol and water to cool him down. She just lowered the temperature in the first half of the night, but unexpectedly the child had a high fever again in the second half of the night.
"Thank you, thank you so much, otherwise I don't know what I should do." Huan Huan thanked with sobs, "My phone is out of battery, and I can't even call the child's father."
She also doesn't know how to drive, and now with energy controls, gasoline and diesel prices have skyrocketed, and there are few taxis on the road. The few taxis that remain are ridiculously expensive, charging thousands of yuan for a few kilometers.
Huanhuan is a housewife who relies on the living expenses her husband gives her every month to work. With the recent rise in prices, she has little money left, and her husband has not yet sent her this month's living expenses.
She hurriedly got up and took the child to the property management company, hoping to ask for help in sending the child to the hospital. Unexpectedly, the several cars at the property management company were all new energy vehicles.
When new energy vehicles encounter such extreme high temperatures, the "battery temperature is too high" warning light on the car remains on, and no one dares to take the risk of driving it.
The property management also helped Huanhuan seek help from other property owners, asking if anyone had a gasoline car, but the owners of gasoline cars either couldn't afford the gas or didn't want to lend it, and remained silent.
The price of oil is too expensive now, and they need it for their own families. It is human nature not to want to help strangers.
The property management staff had no choice but to help Huanhuan send the child to Jingjing Supermarket. At least Jingjing Supermarket has air conditioning and cold drinks.
A group of them tried to cool the child down in Jingjing Supermarket, but it was of no use. The child's temperature never went down and he remained unconscious.
Xia Huiyin couldn't bear to leave the child alone, so she quickly called Xia Shige.
While Xia Shige comforted Huanhuan softly, he turned down the temperature of the car's air conditioner and drove the child to the nearest hospital at the speed limit.

As soon as Xia Shige entered the hospital, he found that it was packed with people, even the emergency room was full.
In order to deal with the outbreak of heat stroke, the hospital directly set up a "heat stroke area".
The hospital was short-staffed, with only one or two doctors on duty in each department. All other doctors were called to the "heatstroke area" to treat patients, even doctors from the imaging department were called over.
Xia Shige took Huanhuan and her son to the heatstroke area to swipe their cards, register, and pay. After waiting for a while, a doctor came over.
The doctor took a look at Dabao's condition and made an expert arrangement: "You also need to use sterile saline to irrigate the peritoneal cavity."
The doctor then turned to Xia Shige and Huanhuan and said, "There are too many people in the treatment area. No accompanying care is allowed right now. Please ask your family members to wait outside."
Huanhuan's mother couldn't stop crying. The family waiting area was full of people. Xia Shige helped her find a shady corner to sit down.
Looking at Huanhuan's mother's pale face, Xia Shige was afraid that she had hypoglycemia. She must have stayed up all night taking care of the child and hadn't eaten yet. Xia Shige planned to find a deserted place and get her some bread from the space.
Unexpectedly, just as he turned the corner and took out the bread and a small cucumber, Xia Shige saw a few people he didn't want to see.
They are her adoptive father Li Yadong and his family.
