Chapter 111 A Cripple
"If you... keep crying like this, I'm really going to die..."
Huo Jingchuan was barely breathing.
Jiang Cha looked up with tears in her eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She put Huo Jingchuan's hand on her leg and took his pulse.
"I'm telling you, I snatched your life back from the hands of the King of Hell. You are not allowed to die without my permission."
Seeing that she stopped crying, Huo Jingchuan finally felt alive again.
"Okay, from now on, my life belongs to you, you have the final say!"
He kept staring at Jiang Cha's face, wishing he could see flowers blooming.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Jiang Cha put down his hand and covered him with the quilt.
"I just went to make some medicine, and there's wood ash on my face?"
She raised the back of her hand and wiped her face.
"Don't move."
Huo Jingchuan said softly, "Let me see you."
It seemed like he hadn't seen her face for a century.
Jiang Cha really sat beside the bed and let him look at her face.
She fed the warm medicine into Huo Jingchuan's mouth spoonful by spoonful.
Just as the bowl of medicine was almost finished, the door of the ward suddenly opened.
Cen Yu's nonchalant voice sounded.
"Oh, I came at an unfortunate time today."
He walked in with his hands in his pockets, staring at Huo Jingchuan who had woken up. He pulled a chair and sat down beside his bed.
"Your life is truly precious. If it weren't for Sister Jiang Cha feeding you so much ginseng and ganoderma every day, you would have gone to hell long ago, right?"
Cen Yu crossed his legs, without any awareness of taking the patient's feelings into consideration.
Jiang Cha handed a glass of water to Cen Yu and said, "Speak nicely. If you make my brother angry again, I will never let you go."
"Your eldest brother is awake, and you are tough when talking to me?"
Cen Yu took the cup of water and shrugged.
"I'm here, go to sleep. Look at your eyelids, they're so swollen!"
Cen Yu put down the water cup, stood up, and pushed Jiang Cha to the other bed next to the hospital bed to sleep.
"I haven't poured the potion for the leg compress yet."
"I'll do it!"
"I have to feed my elder brother some porridge later..."
"I'll do it."
"But……"
"It's nothing, I'm doing the job, are you still worried?"
Cen Yu pulled the curtain, completely blocking Jiang Cha's sight.
This girl has hardly had a good night's sleep in the long time she has been taking care of Huo Jingchuan.
Jiang Cha was lying on the bed, with the cloth curtains separating her from a dark and quiet space.
She thought she would not be able to sleep.
Unexpectedly, after half of the stone in her heart was removed, she actually felt sleepy.
A pair of eyes stared blankly at the white ceiling, blinking repeatedly. After a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
Cen Yu lifted the curtain slightly, and after confirming that Jiang Cha was asleep, he began to discuss business with Huo Jingchuan.
The whole story of this case, the people involved, and the accomplices who were brought in with little knowledge.
Including how to arrange for those women who were trafficked.
"You can sleep for more than half a month at a time. I'm exhausted from running around all day and running around. I'm so tired that I'm skinny!"
Huo Jingchuan leaned against the hospital bed and smiled.
"Isn't this what you wanted?"
Huo Jingchuan looked at the curtain next to him and heard Jiang Cha's breathing, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
"I……"
"From now on, I'll depend on you!"
Huo Jingchuan was surprisingly calm, not at all like someone who had experienced a life-and-death situation.
"I don't need you to give in to me. What I want is a fair competition with you, and to win you fair and square."
The patient is still lying in the hospital bed, and you are telling him such nonsense. Does Huo Jingchuan want to annoy him to death?
Cen Yucai didn't want this kind of victory that came from charity.
"Even if you don't tell me, I know that my legs are broken."
It was the first time that Huo Jingchuan looked at Cen Yu with such a serious expression.
"I'm not qualified to return to the army, Cen Yu. It's very likely that I'll never be able to stand up again in this lifetime."
"You've already beaten me, haven't you?"
If Jiang Cha hadn't been still sleeping in the next bed, Cen Yu really wanted to yell at Huo Jingchuan to wake him up.
"Just now I thought you were worthy of being our army's certified individual champion. You have a good mental state. After going through such a thing, you can still remain calm and composed. I didn't expect it was all fake."
Cen Yu grabbed Huo Jingchuan by the collar.
"Open your eyes and take a good look at me. I, Cen Yu, have been inferior to you since I was a child. Do I need you to sacrifice yourself to give in to me?"
"Where's your fighting spirit? You just lost a pair of legs, but you still have your brains and your wisdom. Do you think I can let you humiliate me like this?"
Huo Jingchuan's words were a humiliation to Cen Yu.
He lowered his voice and spoke every word, wishing he could pry into Huo Jingchuan's heart.
"I can't walk anymore. I can't even stand up anymore. What's the difference between me being alive and being dead?"
When the two bullets hit his legs, he thought, at least he's still alive.
As long as he is still alive, he will make those bastards pay for it.
As he tried again and again to climb out of the valley with his hands, he thought that if he gritted his teeth, he would be able to climb out of the pile of the living dead as long as he made sufficient preparations.
However, the concentrated mind and spirit quietly dispersed when he truly felt the presence of ginger tea there.
He began to feel afraid, regretful, and annoyed.
Why would ginger tea appear in a place like that?
He kept saying that he was protecting her, but in the end, he still had to rely on her to save him.
She even got herself into a dangerous situation and nearly lost her life...
Without him, she wouldn't have been going through this.
Huo Jingchuan was completely unaware that there might be something wrong with his thinking.
"You are not me. Do you know how unacceptable it is to become a cripple?"
Cen Yu loosened his collar and sat back in his seat.
"Does Jiang Cha know that you are so self-destructive?"
Huo Jingchuan's furrowed brows suddenly froze.
Cen Yu smiled and said, "When you were unconscious, you heard everything I said to you, right?"
Huo Jingchuan became alert.
"To tell you the truth, from the first time I saw Jiang Cha, I wanted to have sex with her. If you can't protect her, then I can only... I'm coming!"
"You dare?"
"You know, I dare you to do anything!"
Cen Yu saw the bulging veins on Huo Jingchuan's forehead.
"Want to hit me? Can you hit me like this?"
He stood up, turned around and left.
"Huo Jingchuan, Jiang Cha had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius and was in a coma for three days and three nights. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't even take care of herself. She was only thinking about you. Are you worthy of her efforts for you?"
Those precious medicinal herbs, Jiang Cha's hard work in taking care of him day and night, the effort he put in to pull him back from the hands of the King of Hell.
I finally pulled him back from the brink of death, not to see him give up on himself.
Huo Jingchuan's chest heaved violently.
He didn't notice that Jiang Cha's breathing had become disordered.
She hid behind the curtain, not even daring to turn over, still maintaining the same sleeping position, crying silently.
Huo Jingchuan's leg can definitely be cured.
Of course you can.
She bit her arm hard, using the pain in her body to relieve the pain in her heart.
When his mood had almost recovered, Jiang Cha pretended to have just woken up, made some noise, got up, put on his shoes, and put on his coat.
When the curtain was opened, there was no trace of the rage on Huo Jingchuan's face.
He smiled faintly, "Why don't you get some more sleep?"
"Maybe I haven't slept much recently, so it's a habit. It's okay, I can sleep in at night."
She raised her hand and touched Huo Jingchuan's forehead.
"Are you hungry? Where's Cen Yu? Didn't he get you anything to eat?"
"He left first because of something. I didn't notice it just now, but now I'm really a little hungry!"
"Then I'll go buy you some porridge. Please wait for me for a while!"
Jiang Cha carried her bag and couldn't hold back her tears as soon as she left the ward.
She took two deep breaths, trying not to let anyone see that she was crying.
Through the small piece of transparent glass above the ward door, Jiang Cha saw Huo Jingchuan's empty eyes filled with despair.
I feel discouraged and have no hope in life.
He is now completely different from before.
Jiang Cha endured the sourness in his throat, said a few words to the nurse at the nurses' desk, and then hurried out of the hospital to buy food at the state-owned restaurant.
When I came back, before I even reached the ward, I heard the doctors in the office discussing Huo Jingchuan's condition.
"That little girl, she looks so young, she's really amazing? She can actually save someone who was injured like that?"
"Just now, the nurse at the nurses' station said that the patient in 101 had woken up. I didn't believe it, so I went to check on him. He looked really energetic."
"It was just luck! Do you really believe that a little girl like that could have such great medical skills?"
"I also think that she must have been lucky. Besides, she's just a cripple. What's the point of saving her?"
"The director told me when he was operating on him and removing the bullet that his legs had been damaged for too long. He was lucky to have been able to avoid amputation. He'll never be able to stand up again in this lifetime!"
Jiang Cha couldn't stand it anymore, so she knocked on the office door twice.
"He's not disabled."
She emphasized.
"As doctors, you openly discuss a patient's condition. You have no medical ethics at all. You don't deserve to wear this attire at all."
"How can you say that? We're just discussing the facts. His legs were already broken."
"Just because you can't heal him doesn't mean I can't. I will definitely heal him and make him stand up again. Just wait and see."
The hospital specially arranged the ward 101 for Huo Jingchuan. Besides the ward, there was also a public kitchen, which was convenient for making medicine and porridge.
The doctor's office is right next to 101.
Jiang Cha walked out of the office, pushed the door and entered the ward, and Huo Jingchuan happened to look at her.
