Chapter 284 Sending Zhang Dahua to the Clinic
"How can we take mother out when she's in this state?" Gu Nian asked.
"Make a stretcher and carry Mom out." Gu Bei said.
It’s no wonder that Gu Chongshan and Zhang Dahua are partial to Gu Bei. Although Gu Bei is selfish, he is still very filial to Zhang Dahua and Gu Chongshan, and he is also a little smart.
As soon as he said this, Gu Chongshan nodded in satisfaction.
"Big brother, just listen to the second brother. You guys go make a stretcher and take your mother to the clinic today." Gu Chongshan said.
Zhang Dahua is his old wife, and Gu Chongshan is more afraid than anyone else that something might happen to Zhang Dahua.
The second son was smart and quick-witted, and he knew to take his mother to the clinic to see a doctor.
The fourth one is okay, but the eldest one is so dull.
The second child is still the best. He is smart and filial. It seems that I will have to rely on the second child in the future.
Gu Nian had no idea what Gu Chongshan was thinking. He listened to Gu Chongshan and took his two younger brothers out to act as stretchers.
Wood is available at home, and vines can be found everywhere in the mountains. This is the benefit of living in the mountains.
The three big men worked quickly and in less than ten minutes, a simple stretcher was ready.
"Cuihua, go get a mattress and put it on the stretcher. Let's take mother to the clinic." Gu Nian said to Zhang Cuihua.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhang Cuihua agreed.
The stretcher was laid out, and Gu Nian went into the room and carried Zhang Dahua out.
"I'll go too. I'll take care of mother." Dong Wan said proactively.
"Okay, you go with us. Cuihua will come too." Gu Chongshan thought about it and agreed.
After all, Dong Wan is from the town and is more knowledgeable than Zhang Cuihua and the others.
If she goes with him, she can ask her father for help if anything happens.
As for Zhang Cuihua, she is Zhang Dahua's niece after all, so she will definitely take better care of Zhang Dahua.
"Grandpa, I'll come with you too." Zhiwen said.
"And me, I'm going too." Shuanzi also said.
"Your grandma doesn't need you here, but you still have to go to school, so come with her," said Gu Chongshan.
Finally, Gu Chongshan and his three sons had to go, and they all had to take turns carrying the stretcher on the way.
Then there are Zhang Cuihua and Dong Wan.
There are also Zhiwen and Shuanzi, they both want to go back to the academy to study.
After everything was arranged, the group set off.
The mountain road is difficult to walk on, not to mention carrying a stretcher.
I changed shifts several times along the way and finally arrived in town when it was almost dark.
"I can't take it anymore, brother. Please change your hands. I can't lift it anymore." Gu Bei stopped panting.
"Second brother, hold on a little longer, we'll be at the clinic soon." Gu Nian said.
Along the way, Gu Bei lifted it for a while and then said that he couldn't lift it anymore and wanted someone else to replace him.
Gu Bei basically didn't carry the stretcher during the entire journey.
Every time he lifted something for a while, he would complain of being tired, but his father still thought he was a good person.
This made Gu Nian insist on not changing hands.
"Brother, why are you like this? I've been carrying you for a long time. What's wrong with you taking my place?" Seeing that Gu Nian was unwilling, Gu Bei didn't move forward and just stood there and said.
"How long have you been carrying this? A quarter of an hour? And you're still complaining about being tired?
It was me and Lao Si who carried the load down the mountain road." Gu Nian said unhappily.
"Boss, go and replace the second one. The second one is not in good physical condition, so you should be more considerate of him." Without waiting for Gu Bei to speak, Gu Chongshan spoke first.
When Gu Nian choked, he knew that in his father's heart, he would always favor the second son.
"Get out of the way." Gu Nian pulled Gu Bei aside with a stern face and lifted the stretcher himself.
Gu Bei looked at him proudly, then ran to Gu Chongshan to show his courtesy.
"Dad, let's go to the clinic and see Mom first.
Seeing my mother's condition now, you don't have to go back to the mountains. Just live with me from now on.
You are old now, and you know from what happened today that you can no longer live in the mountains.
If anything happens, there won’t be a doctor anywhere.” Gu Bei acted as if he was doing it for the good of Gu Chongshan and the others.
"Let me think about it." Gu Chongshan also knew that they were old and it was inconvenient for them to live in the mountains all the time.
It turned out that there was no other way. Now his sons all had jobs in the town, so it was not impossible for them to move out.
But after moving out, he won't be able to hunt anymore. Living in the town is not easy, and they don't have much savings.
Living in a town is good, but the cost of living is also high.
Except for the third son, the other sons are not rich.
If I have to support the elderly couple, it will probably be even more difficult.
This is also the reason why he has never wanted to move out.
A few people rushed to the clinic, but it was already closed.
Gu Bei and the others knocked for a long time before the old doctor came from the backyard to open the door.
"I'm here. Stop knocking. It's really annoying that you can't keep quiet even in the middle of the night." The old doctor complained and opened the door.
"Doctor, I'm sorry, my mother is really sick. Please take a look at her." Gu Bei nodded and said nicely.
The old doctor was just complaining, why wouldn't he see a patient when he had one?
"Okay, where is the patient? Let me see." The old doctor opened the door.
"Here, here." Gu Nian and Gu Chuan quickly carried Zhang Dahua in.
The old doctor was also shocked when he saw Zhang Dahua's appearance and quickly stepped forward to take her pulse.
"Doctor, how is my old wife?" Gu Chongshan asked cautiously from the side.
"The patient obviously ate something wrong. What did she eat for lunch today?" After a long while, the old doctor let go of his hand that was taking the patient's pulse.
"I had a dinner party at home at noon, and the food was a little better than usual, but it was nothing special.
We all eat the same food as her, and we're all fine," said Gu Chongshan.
"Then it can only be another situation, that is poisoning.
I know there is a poison that is very similar to this one. That poison requires three drugs to be mixed together. It is a deadly poison.
If the two medicines are taken together, the initial symptoms will be stomachache and vomiting, and then the person will become extremely weak.
But this poison is very rare and ordinary people can't buy it at all.
"Besides, you're just an ordinary family. Who would go to the trouble of poisoning you? Did you offend someone?" the old doctor said.
This is also what the old doctor can't figure out.
Poison is not cheap and is quite difficult to buy. Who would have the time to poison an old woman in the mountains?
But it would be wrong to say that it is not poisoning, because the pulse condition is clearly a symptom of poisoning.
"It's impossible that he was poisoned. We are just hunters living in the mountains. We don't usually see any strangers. How could we possibly offend anyone?" Gu Chongshan flatly denied it.
"Yes, it's impossible. We are just ordinary people. Who would poison my mother?" Gu Nian and his brothers didn't believe it either.
When the old doctor said it was suspected poisoning, Dong Wan shuddered with fear.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the old doctor and no one paid attention to her.
Dong Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Gu Chongshan and Gu Nian didn't believe it.
