Chapter 65
There were heavy rains for several days in a row some time ago, and it has been cloudy and rainy recently. The muddy ground is slippery to begin with, and the artificially excavated hillsides have been made soft by the rain. If you step on them, you may find it difficult to walk, and they may collapse.
There are hidden dangers everywhere. I don’t know how the two kids can be so brave and run so fast to reach such a high place in one breath.
Wen Zhenni searched up the road, but saw no one. She had planned to wait for the main group to join her search, but she had strayed too far without realizing it.
She wasn't sure if anyone else had any leads. She'd made an appointment with the club's front desk before leaving, staying in touch via phone. But in her rush to leave, she didn't notice her phone was running low.
Xie Xincheng has a cell phone, but she keeps getting calls without answering them. She wants to preserve the remaining battery for emergencies.
"Xie Xincheng!" She continued to look forward, calling Xie Xincheng's name all the way.
Finally, from the direction of the drainage ditch, two faint responses came:
"Aunt, aunt? I'm here."
Wen Zhenni ran in the direction of the sound and saw Feng Zhen's snow-white Samoyed, and then Xie Xincheng holding the dog leash.
The little guy was covered in mud and there was a hole in his trousers. It was obvious that he had fallen somewhere.
Wen Zhenni's heart had just settled, but it rose to her throat again. She rushed over to grab the man, not caring about the mud on her body, and fumbled to check his injuries. "Where did you fall? Are you hurt? Tell me, where does it hurt?"
Xie Xincheng's face was dirty and pale, perhaps because he was frightened. He didn't cry, but pointed at the drainage ditch and said, "Little Coconut just fell into the ditch. He didn't respond when I called him. I tried to pull him out, but I fell."
"It's okay, it's okay." Wen Zhenni comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'll go take a look. Do you remember the way you came? Take Cotton Candy back and tell your uncle and the others to come quickly."
She patted Xie Xincheng's clothes a few times and led him to the road: "Go back along the road, remember?"
"Yeah." Xie Xincheng didn't act naughty this time. He nodded and ran away with Marshmallow.
After confirming that he had left, Wen Zhenni turned around and ran to the ditch.
Xiao Yezi is a child of the Feng family. He is about the same age as Xie Xincheng and is equally naughty and disobedient. Without paying attention, the two little troublemakers ran out.
The ditch is so deep and steep. During the heavy rain a few days ago, water rushed down from the mountain and softened the soil on both sides.
Wen Zhenni stood above and found that the child must have hit his head and was bleeding a lot.
Fortunately, her phone still had some battery left. Patting her chest to calm herself, she dialed the emergency number, gave her exact location, and briefly explained her injuries.
According to the dispatcher's instructions, she felt that there was no way to determine Little Coconut's consciousness. But seeing that Little Coconut's condition was not optimistic, she decided to take a risk.
However, the place was too steep and I accidentally stepped on the slippery grass. My foot slipped suddenly, and my body lost balance instantly, and I fell heavily down along with my phone.
For a moment she lost consciousness, and as she regained consciousness, she felt a sharp pain in her arm, and she subconsciously cried out "Ah".
"Ma'am, are you okay?" the dispatcher asked her with concern.
Wen Zhenni's vision went dark due to the pain. She tried to move, but the sharp pain made her gasp and she was speechless for a long time.
Maybe her hand was injured and it hurt when she moved. Wen Zhenni slowed down and tried to endure it, saying that it was okay.
She leaned over to Little Coconut's ear, patted his shoulder, and called out to him loudly: "Little Coconut, can you hear me?"
After no response, she immediately followed the instructions and checked the chest and abdomen. She found weak breathing. She then carefully opened the mouth and found something seemed to be blocking it.
She endured the excruciating pain and, following the instructions, used her normal hand to carefully turn Little Coconut's body to the side. Sure enough, foreign matter mixed with blood foam flowed out of its mouth and nose.
She breathed a sigh of relief. The terrain here was harsh, and the blow had hit her head. If help wasn't provided in time, she would likely suffocate, with disastrous consequences.
Fortunately, I didn't have to wait too long before I heard a noisy voice coming over here, mixed with Xie Xincheng's voice: "Aunt, Aunt..."
She looked up, and countless figures appeared above her. Not only Ciheng and Feng Zhen had arrived, but also emergency personnel and the fire department.
The fire department brought the tools and set up the ladder.
Wen Zhenni made room for them to come in and rescue Little Coconut, and informed the doctor that she had taken emergency measures: "I checked his mouth, and some foreign matter just came out."
Ci Heng could tell at a glance that her right arm was injured, but it was inconvenient for her to go down and seize the passage, so she could only worry from above, "Tell me, did you hurt your hand?"
Wen Zhenni shook her head: "Don't worry about me."
Several emergency personnel went down, and Ciheng called a doctor and said, "Please check my wife's right arm. It might be broken."
When the doctor asked about the situation, Wen Zhenni nodded guiltily: "It should be a fracture."
The doctor examined her, brought out a splint, and helped her fix her injured arm, hanging it against her chest. "Don't move this hand for now. Go to the hospital for further examination."
Wen Zhenni didn't expect that she would be admitted to the hospital again less than half a month after her last gastroenteritis.
Her right arm was in a cast, and when she came out of the clinic, the expressions of the people outside could not be more serious.
"Is the injury serious?" Zhong Xue was four months pregnant. Upon hearing the news that she was injured, she immediately came over with Wen Zheng.
Wen Zhenni forced a smile, her voice a little weak due to the discomfort, "I just broke my arm, it's nothing serious."
Ciheng came over with the checklist and glanced around.
Wen Zheng guessed he was looking for Feng Zhen and explained, "Feng Zhen is guarding outside the operating room. The child's parents have just arrived, and the situation is still unclear."
Little Coconut is the child of Feng Zhen’s cousin. He brought him here to play today. Feng Zhen felt bad about what happened.
"Zhen Ni provided timely first aid and was a huge help. The child will be fine." Zhong Xue supported Wen Zhen Ni's shoulders and said softly, "You need to rest your hand. Don't waste time here. Let Ci Heng take you back first."
Fortunately for her, although she suffered a fracture, she had protected the injured limb well, so it was only a bone crack, not an open fracture. She didn't need surgery or hospitalization; the doctor simply applied a plaster cast and sent her home to recuperate.
The driver had already sent Xie Xincheng back. When Grandma Ci heard the news, she was restless at home.
Seeing Wen Zhenni was full of energy when she went out, but came back with her arm in a cast, the old lady was very scared, "How come you broke your arm when you went out? My goodness, look at how pale your face is..."
Wen Zhenni: "I was too careless and made grandma worried."
Grandma Ci helped her sit down. "Saving people is a good deed. I know you have good intentions. But you must protect yourself. Seeing your injuries is heartbreaking for me."
"Grandma, it's already happened. What's the point of you saying more?"
Ciheng, who came in later, was slapped hard on the arm by the old lady after she finished speaking. "How dare you say that? You are so tall for nothing. Why didn't you go to save people at that time?"
"Yes, it's my fault." Ciheng was already familiar with the process and said with a smile, "It's my fault. I didn't keep an eye on him at that time."
Grandma Ci looked at Wen Zhenni's right hand, which could not move, and felt distressed. "Broken bones are not a small matter. They must be healed properly."
She turned around and called out, "Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu—"
Summoning Aunt Liu, Grandma Ci instructed, "Prepare the pig's trotter soup, sea cucumber soup, and ginseng soup."
Ci Heng lazily sat on the sofa opposite, stretching out his long legs. He looked at Wen Zhenni's arms, which were wrapped like dumplings, and teased, "This really needs a big boost. The old lady has spent all her family savings."
Wen Zhenni glanced at him, not wanting to speak. She was wearing a plaster cast and felt uncomfortable all over.
While the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the living room, footsteps were heard at the stairs, and Ci Yu came down with Xie Xincheng.
"Sister-in-law, how long will you need to wear this plaster?" Ci Yu asked with concern.
Wen Zhenni touched the thick plaster and sighed weakly, "The doctor said it will take at least two weeks."
Xie Xincheng might have been frightened and hadn't come to his senses yet. After coming down from upstairs, he sat next to them without saying a word. His silence made everyone a little uncomfortable.
"This child has become less talkative since he came back." Grandma Ci hugged the little guy in her arms with a distressed look, "He must be scared."
Ci Yu laughed at him rudely: "You usually jump around and are quite noisy, how come you have become a little mute?"
Xie Xincheng bared his teeth and made a face at him, then jumped up and tickled him, and the two of them, big and small, instantly got into a fight.
Ci Heng asked, "Did you call his father? When will he come to pick him up?"
"I did." Ci Yu grabbed Xie Xincheng's head, blocking his attack while taking the time to answer, "I'm on my way back. I think I'll be there by dinner time."
After hearing the news, the Xie family couple put down their work and came over. They first went to the hospital to visit Xiao Yezi, and then rushed to Zijin Bay Villa to have dinner together.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Little Coconut was out of danger after rescue.
Grandma Ci said, "It's reasonable for us to go and see the child. Xiaoyu will bring some gifts and go to the hospital to visit the child tomorrow."
Ci Yu nodded and said, "Okay."
On the dining table, the aroma of food filled the air. Wen Zhenni's right hand was in a cast and she couldn't move it. She could only hold a spoon in her left hand and slowly scoop out the yam and barley porridge in the bowl, watching others eat and drink the delicious food.
Her pitiful look made Ciheng laugh, "Don't even think about eating big fish and meat for the time being. Just finish the porridge."
Wen Zhenni: "I feel uncomfortable, I don't feel like eating much."
"You still have to eat."
Ciheng picked up a few pieces of steamed cod and said, "The soup contains purine, so you should drink less. Eat more meat to supplement calcium."
"oh."
Wen Zhenni felt a bit listless. After eating half a bowl of porridge, she went upstairs to rest dejectedly.
Ciheng returned a few important calls, brought the things Lin Nuo bought into the room, and saw Wen Zhenni lying listlessly on the sofa.
"Do you want to sleep now?" He walked over.
Wen Zhenni frowned and shook her head: "It hurts so much, I won't sleep."
"I asked my private doctor, and he said it's like this at the beginning, and you just have to get through it slowly."
He comforted her gently, took out a painkiller, and fed her warm water to her mouth, "Come, Miss, drink the medicine."
Wen Zhenni swallowed the pills in his hand, then suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, is my phone fixed? I haven't replied to many messages yet. What if I miss important work news?"
"My phone is broken in two, what's the point of using it?" Ci Heng stood up and took a new phone from the table. "I asked Lin Nuo to buy a new one, and the SIM card has been installed."
It would be fine if there were new ones.
She took the phone, logged into her WeChat account immediately, and sent a message to her agent.
"But having said that, you have improved. You were reckless the first time, but you weren't so reckless the second time."
Ciheng sat back down beside her, holding her casted hand and massaging her fingers. "How exactly does it hurt?"
"Every time my heart beats, I feel pain. My fingertips feel numb and like they're being pricked by needles."
Wen Zhenni was still a little annoyed that she couldn't move, and there was also a practical problem before her, "How am I going to take a shower in the future?"
"Do you think I don't exist? How could I possibly let you go without a bath? Lie down in the tub and I'll help you wash."
Ciheng went to drain the water, came over to take off the necklace, and saw that the cuffs of her skirt were too small, so she could only find a pair of scissors and cut the skirt open.
Wen Zhenni was supported by him to go to the bathroom. She felt a little awkward and asked, "Can't you ask a servant to help me?"
After the lesson from last time, Ci Heng was worried, "It's not the first time, are you still shy?"
Then he asked her, "Do you want to go to the bathroom first?"
Wen Zhenni could accept him helping her take a shower, but forget about going to the toilet. That was really unacceptable. "No, I don't want to. If I want to go, I can do it myself."
Anyway, it’s not difficult to wear a skirt with one hand.
Ci Heng did not force her to help. She took out a waterproof plaster cast and covered her injured arm completely. She helped her lie down in the bathtub carefully and said, "Keep your hand outside. Don't let it get wet."
"Oh." Wen Zhenni thought he was very skilled and asked curiously, "How do you know everything?"
The man raised an eyebrow. “I love learning and have an excellent memory. I can remember everything I hear once.”
How immodest.
Wen Zhenni held her chest with one hand and said, "Although we are an old married couple, I am a patient now. You can't touch me."
"Pour out the garbage in your head." The man looked at her unhappily, "Who do you think I am..."
After taking a shower, I used iodine to disinfect the area where her skin had been rubbed off, tucked her back into bed, and then brought a few pillows to slowly raise her hands.
"This will help blood flow back, reduce pain and swelling, and make you feel more comfortable."
After tucking the quilt in, he bent down and kissed her face, "If it hurts at night, call me."
