Chapter 2 Jiang Chuan, he remembers
While unconscious, Xiao Qingru felt someone picking her up.
"Comrade Xiao, wake up."
The warm embrace was like a furnace, melting her frozen body and making her miss him.
His eyes half-opened, revealing a resolute profile.
The white air he exhaled when he breathed out enveloped his facial features, and only those eagle-like sharp eyes remained in her mind.
My body moved closer to the source of warmth involuntarily, and I whispered, "It hurts."
The man holding her asked nervously: "Where does it hurt?"
But Xiao Qingru no longer had the energy to answer and gradually lost consciousness.
Xu Muzhou didn't expect that the scene when he saw Xiao Qingru again would be like this.
It was freezing and snowy, and except for those who went to work, everyone else stayed at home.
He didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if no one found her.
"Comrade Xiao?"
Shake your arms, "Wake up!"
The person in his arms had already passed out, his body was limp, his hands were hanging limply, and he didn't respond at all.
Xu Muzhou felt the fear for the first time, "Qingru, I'll take you to the hospital."
"Don't sleep!"
The sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer, and the people waiting in line to see the doctor looked past involuntarily.
"Make way!"
"Please make way!"
"Doctor! Come and see her!"
"quick!"
There was some noise in the hospital, but Xu Muzhou was too flustered and had already taken care of so much.
Seeing this, everyone spontaneously made way for the patient, giving priority to the person who was rushing in.
As soon as the medical staff saw Xiao Qingru's condition, they knew the problem was serious.
He quickly said, "Please put the patient down first and take off her clothes. We will know the situation after checking."
Xu Muzhou didn't dare to delay and did as he was told.
Looking at Xiao Qingru's pale and transparent face, he could not help but clench his teeth.
"She must be cured!"
The daughter of Commander Xiao and the most talented dancer in the literary troupe. Who in the entire military region knows her?
The doctor said seriously, "It is our responsibility to save the dying and the injured. Comrade, please wait outside. Every minute of delay will increase the risk to the patient."
Xu Muzhou was in a daze after being kicked out of the treatment room by the doctor.
Xiao Qingru, who was shining like a swan, should have been on the stage, amid the applause, but she was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face.
My fists clenched unconsciously.
He wanted something to happen to Xiao Qingru.
Not at all.
After a long time, I realized that I had not notified Xiao Qingru's family yet. If anything happened, her family would need to be present.
He looked back at the closed door and left quickly.
"Comrade Doctor, can I borrow your phone?"
"Use it."
He made several calls in succession to contact Xiao's father and mother.
When she returned to the clinic, the doctor had already given Xiao Qingru a preliminary examination.
"Comrade Xiao is in shock due to coccyx perforation. We have delayed too long and now he must undergo surgery. Are his family members concerned?"
"Do the surgery first. I'll take responsibility."
In the current situation, even if Xu Muzhou said so, the doctor would take emergency measures.
However, since someone said that he was willing to take responsibility, the doctor had no objection.
With shaking hands, he signed his name.
Watching Xiao Qingru being sent to the operating room with his own eyes, Xu Muzhou stood at the door as straight as a pine tree, his hands clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white.
His heart was beating fast, faster than the first time he flew a plane on a mission.
It felt like there was a lot of air stuck in my throat, going in and out, so that even breathing became extremely difficult.
The first person to arrive was Xiao Qingru's mother, who trotted to the door of the operating room, "Xiao Xu, how is our Qingru?"
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he suppressed his depression. "I'm still in surgery. The doctor said it's a coccyx perforation."
Xiao's mother paced anxiously. "The tail is already perforated, the situation must be very serious. If I had known I would not go out today, I would not have waited so long to come to the hospital."
"Aunt, don't worry. Comrade Xiao will be fine."
Xiao's mother had only one son and one daughter in her life, and she devoted all her heart to them.
Her daughter was lying in the operating room right now. She knew exactly what was going on. How could she be so anxious?
Trying to recover, Xiao's mother thought of another thing, "Qingru is resting at home today, Xiaoxu, how did you meet her?"
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Xu Muzhou told everyone the truth.
"Qingru is a reckless child. If she was sick, she could ask her neighbors for help or call her dad. Why would she run out alone?"
"And he fell in a snowdrift. If you had found him in time, then, then the consequences would have been unimaginable."
There was a cold light in Xu Muzhou's eyes. If it was Xiao Huaishu who asked him to help check the water pipes at Xiao's house, he would also find Xiao Qingru.
So, why on earth did she go so far away from home?
This makes sense.
Xiao's mother walked around twice and said, "Okay, I'll call Old Xiao and ask him to invite a professor to help Qingru if the situation is good enough."
"Auntie, I've already called Commander Xiao."
Hearing him say this, Xiao's mother felt relieved and said gratefully: "Thank you so much today. You will be our family's benefactor in the future. You have come all the way from Beijing alone. If you need any help, just let me know."
Xu Muzhou hummed, "Xiao Huaishu and I are friends, and his sister is naturally my sister as well. You don't have to be so polite."
Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly, "When Qingru is well, Auntie will make dumplings for you. Then you and Huaishu can come back together."
Xu Muzhou nodded and pointed to the bench next to him. "The operation won't be over so soon. Auntie, please sit down for a while."
Xiao's mother glanced around and saw her daughter's military uniform, hat, and two scarves.
She took two quick steps and picked up the gray one. "This is Xiao Jiang's scarf. Qing Ru just knitted it for him a few days ago. How come it's here?"
This was brought back by Xu Muzhou from the scene.
There are answers to everything.
Why did you go so far away from home when you were sick? Because Jiang Chuan took you there!
Xiao's mother is stupid and she also thinks the same way.
"That bastard must have abandoned Qingru on the way again!"
Her eyes were moist and red, "Du Wanqiu lives in the family building next door. She must have called the person away again."
"If anything happens to Qingru, I will spare both of them!"
Xiao's mother cried and cursed at the same time, asking how could there be such a heartless person in the world?
Does he know which is more important, his brother's widow or his fiancée?
Besides, Qingru was still sick and it was freezing cold. How could they abandon her on the road?
Xu Muzhou knelt down and rubbed his cheeks. He knew he had no right to be angry, but the anger still rose from the bottom of his heart uncontrollably.
Jiangchuan, he remembered.
