Chapter 326: When a man is about to die, his words are good
After returning home, Chen Peiqiong cut off a small piece of rabbit fur blanket and used it to make a pair of gloves.
In the past, cold-weather supplies were in short supply, and people didn’t have enough points or supplies. They only used the supplies they had to buy a coat. They thought that a coat was enough to keep warm. If it was too cold, they could just put their hands in their sleeves. They didn’t buy gloves or anything else if they didn’t have to.
But now every household has farmed, has surplus food and points, and may be willing to spend money on gloves. Chen Peiqiong wants to try selling these small items, maybe she can save some points.
On the other side, after Xia Xiaoman separated from Chen Peiqiong, he returned home and found someone guarding the door.
She walked over and said, "Hey, why are you standing at my door?"
The other person was startled by her voice, patted his chest and said, "Is this your home?"
"Yes, who are you and why are you coming to my house?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
The man said, "Doctor Hu asked me to come here. She said she has something to ask you, and asked you to come to her clinic when you are free."
"Doctor Hu?" Xia Xiaoman frowned, thinking of the person she met that day when she bought ginger powder. "I see. I'll go over later."
Hearing this, the other party stretched out his hand in front of Xia Xiaoman and spread it out, "Running errands fee, Doctor Hu said that you will give me running errands fee."
Xia Xiaoman's mouth twitched. She had reason to suspect that Hu Ying was taking revenge on her for taking Maodan to the clinic last time.
She went back to the house, took out two sweet potatoes and threw them to the other person. When the man saw that there were only two sweet potatoes, he whispered "stingy" and left reluctantly with the sweet potatoes.
Xia Xiaoman did not rush to the clinic. She first cooked breakfast to fill her stomach, and then slowly went to the clinic to find Hu Ying.
The clinic was still full of people lining up. Hu Ying saw her coming and pointed to the back, signaling her to go in and wait.
After waiting for a while in the clinic, Hu Ying took her into a room. When she entered the room, she saw Qiao Yu lying on the bed.
Qiao Yu was thinner than the last time they met. There was no trace of life on her pale face, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
Suddenly, Qiao Yu's eyelashes moved, and the next second she opened her eyes. "You came, I thought you would report me." Qiao Yu said weakly.
Xia Xiaoman stood beside the bed, "I have no grudge against you, why would I report you?"
Qiao Yu pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled. "Here, I give it to you." She stretched out her dry hand from under the quilt, holding a black USB flash drive. "Inside is the content of Si Ruifeng's computer, including information about you and other suspects."
Xia Xiaoman was stunned when she heard this. When she went to catch Si Ruifeng that day, she didn't see any computer at all?
As if seeing her confusion, Qiao Yu explained, "Before you went to arrest Si Ruifeng, I had already taken away his computer. Otherwise, how would I know that you had been investigated by Si Ruifeng?" The computer had been destroyed by her, leaving only the USB flash drive.
"Why give me the USB drive?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
"Thank you, thank you for letting me meet Doctor Hu." Qiao Yu exhaled and looked forward with unfocused eyes.
After learning that her internal organs were failing and could not be cured, she was confused. She didn't know whether to continue burning her life to transport supplies, or to take this opportunity to make a scene and threaten the people in the laboratory to take away the space.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to follow her heart and spend her last moments in comfort and without interruption. So she ran away from the official headquarters.
After escaping, she found Hu Ying and wanted Hu Ying to help her regulate her body so that she would not be tortured by the spatial energy before she died.
Hu Ying Clinic was very respected, so when the higher-ups sent people to search it, they didn't search too strictly, and Qiao Yu was therefore not discovered.
When Xia Xiaoman came to buy ginger powder that day, she knew that Xia Xiaoman recognized her. At that time, she thought that if Xia Xiaoman reported her, she would hand over the USB drive and no one would have a good life. Unexpectedly, after waiting for several days, no official person came to her door.
The time she spent at Hu Ying Clinic was the most comfortable time she had had in the past two years.
She didn't have to suffer from the torture of space energy, didn't have to run around to deliver supplies, didn't have to be monitored all the time, didn't have to bear the responsibilities imposed on her, and she could breathe before she died. So she was really grateful to Xia Xiaoman and Hu Ying.
The materials in her space that were useful to Hu Ying had been taken out and placed in Hu Ying's warehouse. As for Xia Xiaoman, she always felt that Xia Xiaoman was a space user, so she only left a USB flash drive for her.
Seeing Qiao Yu's weak breathing, Xia Xiaoman looked at Hu Ying and said, "Doctor Hu, her illness... can't be cured?"
Hu Ying shook her head. "There's no cure. If there are enough herbs, maybe her life span can be extended, but it won't be for long. Three months at most."
Doctors are kindhearted. If there are enough medicinal materials, she will choose to treat Qiao Yu as much as possible. But now medicinal materials are scarce, and she does not recommend using medicine on a dying person. It is too wasteful.
"You two can have a good chat! I have another patient, so I'll be leaving first." Hu Ying said as she walked out, closed the door and went out for a consultation.
Qiao Yu supported herself on the bed and sat up. "They say that when a man is about to die, his words are kind. Xia Xiaoman, I'm in a good mood today. Just ask whatever you want to ask! I will answer everything I can. When you're done, please take me to the entrance of the official headquarters."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "You want to go back to the official side?"
"Well, I've been running away for so long. Now I'm about to die. It's time to return the space energy." Her selfish escape had affected the construction progress of some dungeons. Now that she was about to die, she couldn't take the space energy with her.
Moreover, during this period, Hu Ying taught her Tai Chi and gave her acupuncture every day, and she could feel the space energy in her body showing signs of fusion. She needed to report this matter so that the next space person to be transformed could live longer.
Qiao Yu gathered the quilt and said, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask it now! I can answer you while I still have the energy."
Xia Xiaoman thought for a while and said, "I want to know the construction progress of the underground city of the floating city. When did you start delivering supplies to the underground city?"
"I don't remember clearly. I remember the first time we transported supplies to the floating city, when the road was just opened."
Qiao Yu sighed and continued, "The floating city is too far away. Xia Country only has ten spacers who have undergone late-stage transformation. We will prioritize delivering supplies to nearby cities, and then slowly expand outward."
Before the earthquake, Qiao Yu and his team had already completed the transformation. However, due to the earthquake, many roads were blocked, and at that time, the higher authorities required the construction of factories in the Tibetan areas, so they, the spacers who had undergone the transformation in the later period, were arranged to assist in the work in the Tibetan areas.
This also resulted in the southern region not receiving rescue for a long period of time after the earthquake.
