Chapter 44: Youth is Fierce
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the sea. "Why are there two black spots..."
Brian didn't take it seriously. "It's probably ocean trash. I keep finding plastic bottles lately. Okay, stop being suspicious."
He rolled his eyes and asked, "How can you possibly get someone out of this?"
"No! It's a real person!" The old man quickly adjusted the sail and threw the oar to him.
"Damn, it really is true, hurry up and save him!"
The two men paddled hard and soon approached the two people floating on the sea.
To be precise, there should be only one person. The person on his back seemed to be dead, with a pale face, motionless and eyes closed.
"Come on, slow down."
Gu Sheng lifted Qian Zhou up, put him on the boat, and then climbed up by grabbing the pole.
His body was stained with Qian Zhou's blood, but fortunately it was midsummer and the sea temperature was not too low, so he was able to drag Qian Zhou and hold on until now.
Gu Sheng pushed away the water offered by the old man, his voice hoarse: "...Look at him first, he has a wound on his shoulder."
"They've been soaking in seawater and are likely to get infected. Lao Tuo, please get the medicine box first. Human lives are at stake. Let's go back to the city and take them to the hospital."
Qianzhou tilted his head, his body swaying with the shaking fishing boat, and the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding slightly.
There was a circle of red marks on his arm, and the loose tie was thrown aside.
Gu Sheng breathed calmly, and there was also a circle of red marks on his arm.
Gu Sheng tied him to his body with a tie and floated on the sea for nearly an hour, holding him with one hand and holding the lifebuoy tightly with the other.
Maintaining this posture under the impact of huge waves, the muscles in my arms were almost numb.
"Eh?! Why is there a bird behind you?"
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" the green-winged macaw shouted with its neck stretched out.
Its two claws grabbed Gu Sheng's clothes on the back, and its beak bit Gu Sheng's collar to prevent itself from falling. Gu Sheng's collar was bitten to pieces by it.
Lao Tuo tugged at his beard and said, "Youth is always fierce... This big parrot must weigh three pounds."
He put down the medicine box, cut open Qian Zhou's collar, and treated the wound simply.
He reached out his hand again to check for breath. "You're still alive. You're really lucky. The wind is blowing the strongest today. Big waves could have capsized the boat."
When Gu Sheng heard that the person was still alive, his shoulders immediately relaxed and he leaned over the railing and coughed.
His arms were too weak and it took him several tries to pull the penis off his back.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Gu Sheng's eyes were extremely cold, and Ji Ji was so scared that he dared not make a sound. He stepped on the deck and rubbed against Qian Zhou.
It spread its two large wings to shield him from the sea breeze, as if that would help him wake up.
"How is he?" Gu Sheng asked.
Brian said, "He has low blood pressure and a fever. I think he has an infection. But don't worry, there's a hospital on shore. It's very close."
The engine under the boat was humming, and Lao To retracted the sails and adjusted the engine power to maximum.
Gu Sheng was still wearing the suit he wore at the banquet. He sat next to Qian Zhou with his legs propped up and gently held his hand.
"My hands are too cold..." The fingertips penetrated into the gaps between the fingers, transferring the body temperature to the greatest extent possible.
They held on like that until the boat reached the shore, and Qian Zhou was hurriedly lifted onto a stretcher.
Gu Sheng stood up with difficulty and followed slowly.
Brian held him back and said, "Brother, you look so bad, come back with me and have some food and rest first."
"Need not......"
As the ambulance was about to close, Brian grabbed Gu Sheng again.
Gu Sheng frowned and turned back, only to see Brian holding the parrot's head. "Your bird."
"......" Gu Sheng carried it into the ambulance.
Jiji was afraid that he would be abandoned, so he rolled his eyes around and didn't dare to make a sound.
Gu Sheng glanced at it and raised his hand to pinch the bird's beak.
If this silly bird hadn't saved Qianzhou's life, he would have thrown it into the sea long ago.
When they arrived at the hospital, Qian Zhou was pushed into the emergency room, and Gu Sheng sat on an iron stool in the hospital corridor.
Because the macaw was too large, it was forced into the cage.
Jiji secretly looked at Gu Sheng through the crack of the cage, and stretched out his claws to grab Gu Sheng's sleeve.
It tilted its head and said in a funny voice, "Thank you."
"Stop arguing, shut up." Gu Sheng scratched his hair and took out his wallet from his pocket.
I took a stack of white slips to the window to pay Qianzhou for the surgery.
Qian Zhou's surgery didn't cost him much money. The best single room only cost four hundred yuan a night.
Gu Sheng stared at the operating light as it turned from red to green. Qian Zhou was pushed out and found himself lying alone on the hospital bed, wearing an oxygen mask.
"Family members of the patient, please sign."
Gu Sheng took the form and signed his name crookedly.
"......Sir, sir?" the doctor called him several times.
Gu Sheng came back to his senses and said, "Sorry."
"I wanted to tell you that the patient's condition has stabilized and his blood pressure has returned to normal. He's just lost too much blood and is still in a coma."
"Stay in the hospital for observation. If he wakes up within two days, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Gu Sheng asked: "...didn't wake up yet?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and said, "It's likely that the patient can wake up. The artery is not damaged, but the wound is somewhat infected. We need to monitor the patient's temperature at all times. If it exceeds 39 degrees, we should ring the bell."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Sheng held a stack of lists in his hand.
It was thicker than the documents he usually read, and was full of densely packed physical data. There were three blood test sheets alone. When he picked up the forms, the doctor reminded him that he was a little malnourished.
Gu Sheng entered the single ward, put the sheet on the table, and gently stroked Qian Zhou's cheek, "You eat so much but you're still malnourished..."
The ward was very clean and had a faint smell of disinfectant.
When I opened the window, a warm breeze blew in. The scorching sun was blocked by the leaves outside the window. The temperature in the ward was just right.
Qian Zhou had IV drips in his left and right hands, with a blood oxygen monitor clamped on his fingertips. Gu Sheng sat on a stool, staring at the heart rate graph in a daze.
"Sir, your pet fell on a chair. I saw that it was injured and bandaged it. Fortunately, the bones are fine."
Gu Sheng looked at the silly bird that was sent back and was silent for a moment, "...Thank you."
The young nurse smiled at him, turned around and left.
Maybe it’s rare to see handsome guys in the small town hospital, and in a short period of time, there were more than ten nurses coming in and out of the ward.
Some brought water, some brought thermometers, some brought bandages, and some took Gu Sheng for examination.
There was no peace all afternoon.
After the examination, the doctor said that Gu Sheng had some minor muscle strain and needed to rest. With his physical condition, he would be able to recover in a few days.
He returned to the ward and saw Qianzhou was still unconscious, so he sat by his side and watched him while he was getting an injection.
Five minutes later, Qianzhou moved his fingers twice.
He slowly opened his eyes.
