Chapter 111 Awakening



Zhao Xian's house didn't have a fire. Most of the other survivors in the first base used fires to keep warm, but Zhao Xian usually did missions outside and was relatively resistant to cold, so he didn't think it was time to heat up.

He then realized that it would freeze Qiao Xuejun.

Zhao Xian: "Okay, I'll light the kang."

They all had kangs in their houses.

Doctor Zheng: "Be careful when lighting a fire. The smoke is too thick and can choke the patient. Frequent coughing can cause pain in the wound."

Zhao Xian nodded: "Okay, I'll find a way."

Zhao Xian said: "Why... does she keep looking at me?"

When he walked to the left, Qiao Xuejun's eyes followed him to the left, and when he walked to the right, she followed him to the right.

After Qiao Xuejun saw him on the back of the great white shark and was carried back by him, she kept looking at him without blinking. She had big eyes, black pupils, and she would blink from time to time, which didn't make people feel weird, but cute.

Just like a kitten watching a bird or a penguin watching a fish.

She didn't even look away, as if she was worried that he would run away.

Doctor Zheng frowned and said, "It's a stress reaction. You should have seen it. Many soldiers are afraid of falling asleep after leaving the battlefield and can't close their eyes."

Zhao Xian: "I know that, but why are you looking at me?"

The military doctor and Wang Juanfeng were also present, but Qiao Xuejun just stared at him.

Doctor Zheng thought for a moment and speculated, "It may be that your appearance at that time, Lord, meant that the danger was over from Teacher Qiao's perspective. Looking at you gave her a sense of security. She was afraid that if she closed her eyes, she would be back in danger again."

So he kept his eyes open and kept looking at Zhao Xian.

Doctor Zheng said, "We should let Teacher Qiao close his eyes and take a nap."

Wang Juanfeng, who was listening nearby, also felt the same way.

She reached out and touched Qiao Xuejun's eyes, spoke to her in a low voice, and coaxed her to close her eyes and go to sleep.

Doctor Zheng: "If you have a high fever and your delirium gets worse, please come to me immediately and I will take care of it."

Zhao Xian: "Okay, I know."

Doctor Zheng: "You know how to remove the needle after the infusion, so I won't say more. You also know how to change the dressing, so you don't need me."

As a soldier from the Mountain Leopard Brigade, Zhao Xian knows basic medical techniques. He is good at treating injuries, especially his bandaging technique. He can bandage comprehensively without delaying the patient's activities, and his treatment is quick and effective.

Zhao Xian: "Go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of her. I'll find you if there's anything else."

Doctor Zheng is also very busy, especially since there is a fierce battle today and there must be other wounded. He can't just sit here and watch and do nothing else.

Doctor Zheng took Qiao Xuejun's temperature again before leaving: "It's not rising anymore, very good."

Although Qiao Xuejun was seriously injured, that was because there were too many mutated creatures at the time. In fact, it was only more than half an hour from the incident to Zhao Xian finding the great white shark, so it was very timely for him to receive treatment now.

Doctor Zheng left the thermometer behind and said, "From now on, take your temperature every hour. Call me if it's over 39 degrees."

Zhao Xian: "Okay, got it."

Finally, with Wang Juanfeng's gentle soothing voice, Qiao Xuejun could no longer hold on and closed her eyes tiredly.

As it was getting dark, Wang Juanfeng didn't say she was leaving. She didn't want to leave and wanted to stay to take care of Qiao Xuejun.

Zhao Xian didn't chase her away either.

Wang Juanfeng used to think that Zhao Xian, a grown man, didn't have a fire in his room and it was so cold and deserted that he didn't seem like a considerate person. But after being here for a long time, she saw that Zhao Xian was quite caring.

When heating the kang, they would take a basin outside to completely raise the charcoal fire and then put it into the kang. The process was quick and there was not much smoke in the room.

A lot of charcoal was added and the kang became warm in a short while.

He would also feed Qiao Xuejun water, warming the water in his military kettle and feeding her once every half an hour using a spoon.

When Qiao Xuejun was sweating, he would fetch water to wipe her face, hands and neck.

Wang Juanfeng watched him busying around, and wanted to say, "Stop working and let me do it."

It seems that she was wrong. Zhao Xianren is really a good person. He is a soldier from the regular army and a good person. He is very good to Qiao Xuejun and takes good care of her.

But then she thought, was it because she was here that Zhao Xian was so concerned? After all, she knew before that Zhao Xian had something to ask of Qiao Xuejun.

If it was before, Wang Juanfeng would have just seen what she saw and would not have thought like this at all. But now that Qiao Xuejun had become like this, she could not help but think more.

But before the next day, Wang Juanfeng's opinion changed and she felt relieved.

Sleep on a camp bed at night.

Zhao Xian also arranged a camp bed for Wang Juanfeng. It had been a year since she moved into Qiao Xuejun's shelter. This was the first time she had slept outside. In addition, Qiao Xuejun's condition was unstable, so she did not sleep well.

Just when she was in a daze at night, she half opened her eyes and saw Zhao Xian getting up in the dark to feed Qiao Xuejun water.

Maybe Zhao Xian was afraid of disturbing her, so he didn't turn on the light, but just used a small flashlight, which didn't even shine on Wang Juanfeng.

Qiao Xuejun drank enough water during the day, but the kang was too hot and her lips were dry. He did not continue to feed her water, but used a cotton swab dipped in water to moisten Qiao Xuejun's lips.

It was completely different from what she had imagined, very detailed.

It was late at night, and there was no need for Zhao Xian to pretend, because she was asleep and no one could see her.

The next day, after Wang Juanfeng confirmed that Qiao Xuejun's condition was basically stable and had not worsened, he proposed to go back to the shelter: "I'll go get some daily necessities for Qiao Qiao, and bring two sets of clothes. Lord Zhao, I'll be back soon, please take care of Qiao Qiao."

Zhao Xian: “Go get it.”

After Wang Juanfeng left, Zhao Xian sat down beside Qiao Xuejun's bed and took her temperature again.

The body temperature had been normal, so Zhao Xian was relieved. But why hadn't he woken up? After the infusion, 12 hours after the injection of the antidote, the test was repeated. This time the result showed only one bar, negative.

The antidote worked.

We should go investigate the great white shark today, but Qiao Xuejun hasn't woken up yet, and he's worried about leaving it to others, so he'd better wait for Wang Juanfeng to come back before leaving.

Zhao Xian thought about it, picked up the military kettle from the head of the kang, poured a small cup of water, and used a spoon to slowly feed it to Qiao Xuejun.

“Ahem…”

Qiao Xuejun woke up vaguely and found Zhao Xian in front of her, who seemed to be feeding her something. She was startled and almost choked. She coughed twice, and the wounds all over her body were painful.

Zhao Xian put down the cup and spoon, and took the towel beside him to wipe the water drops from her lips.

"What? Am I so scary?" Zhao Xian asked.

Qiao Xuejun blinked and gradually recalled what had happened.

Zhao Xian suddenly appeared at the dangerous scene and brought her out of danger.
