Chapter 573 Bath
She reached out and touched Zhai Sheng's face, and found that it was badly burned. Not only his face, but also his hands, especially the wound area, was particularly hot.
"Damn..." Qiao Nan gasped, and quickly opened the curtains a little, looking at Zhai Sheng's bedside. There was a glass of boiled water and a pill beside Zhai Sheng's bed. It was obvious that these were reserved for Zhai Sheng to take, but Zhai Sheng didn't take any of the pills because he fell asleep.
What made Qiao Nan feel the most distressed was that Zhai Sheng was sweating all over, and his hair was standing up with shiny strands, which could be seen clearly. His honey-colored skin was soaked with a layer of sweat, which had a different kind of watery sheen. His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and they were gently twisted. His once beautiful thin lips were now covered with a layer of white skin, and there were occasionally one or two cracks on his lips.
Qiao Nan was so frightened that she was shaking all over. Shi Qing told her that Brother Zhai's injury was not serious. How could it not be serious? It was clearly very serious!
Brother Zhai was so seriously injured, and there was no one nearby to take care of him. What was the intention of this army? In such a situation, could it be that even the political commissar did not care about this matter? !
Qiao Nan was so angry that her face turned the color of pig liver. She took a cotton swab and soaked it in boiled water. She kept wiping Zhai Sheng's cracked lips gently and tenderly over and over again until the boiled water completely moistened Zhai Sheng's lips and the previously blinding whiteness disappeared.
Seeing Zhai Sheng unconsciously opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue, obviously feeling thirsty and wanting to drink water, Qiao Nan did not dare to feed him immediately. Instead, she took the anti-inflammatory medicine on the stool beside Zhai Sheng's bed, peeled open the capsule, and poured all the powder in the capsule into the cup of water and mixed it evenly.
"Brother Zhai, I know you are thirsty. Let's take the medicine first, and then I'll give you some water." Qiao Nan insisted in whispering in Zhai Sheng's ear even though she knew that Zhai Sheng might not be able to hear her. Then, she took a spoon and fed the water mixed with the anti-inflammatory medicine into Zhai Sheng's mouth little by little.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are very bitter, especially when taken this way.
But Qiao Nan had no other choice. If he didn't give Zhai Sheng the medicine this way, given Zhai Sheng's current condition, he wouldn't be able to swallow the medicine at all.
Therefore, Qiao Nan deliberately did not satisfy Zhai Sheng's thirst for water. Only in this way would Zhai Sheng accept the extremely bitter potion without hesitation because of his thirst.
Slowly, Qiao Nan fed Zhai Sheng half a cup of medicine. Then he cooled half a cup of boiled water again and patiently fed it to Zhai Sheng one spoonful at a time.
"Comrade, could you please get me a basin of water?" After meeting Liesheng's physiological needs, Qiao Nan asked the soldier for water.
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher Qiao, when I leave, please close the door. Unless I come back, don't open the door to anyone who knocks, especially women." He had only been standing guard here for half a minute and hadn't even remembered how many women wanted to come to see Captain Zhai.
From the female military doctors in the army to the nurses working beside the female military doctors, even the female arts soldiers came to join in the fun, and he was so busy.
"Okay, don't worry. Unless you come back, I will definitely not open the door for anyone." Qiao Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that this was the reason why there was someone standing guard at Brother Zhai's door.
After getting Qiao Nan's assurance, the soldier closed the door first and then went to get the water that Qiao Nan asked for.
Fortunately, when Qiao Nan was guarding Zhai Sheng, it was quite quiet outside the door. No one else knocked on the door, not even Qiu Chenxi, who was dragged by Shi Qing.
"Thank you." Holding a basin of water from the boss, Qiao Nan gave the soldier a grateful smile.
"No, Teacher Qiao has taught us English for so long, we should thank her. Teacher Qiao, if you need anything else, just ask." The soldier was also honest: "This water is quite heavy, how about I move it to your room for you?"
"Okay." Qiao Nan nodded and stepped aside.
After the soldier entered the room, he looked around carefully and found that Zhai Sheng was lying on the bed peacefully, without any discomfort. As for the empty cup on the table, the medicine in the medicine board was gone: "Teacher Qiao, is this medicine for Captain Zhai himself, or did you feed it to him?"
When he first arrived at the post, he saw that Captain Zhai had not taken his medicine yet.
"I put the powder in water and fed it to him with a spoon. Captain Zhai has a slight fever. It must be that the wound is inflamed."
"Really? Do we need to call a military doctor?" The soldier was a little nervous. He had no idea about the situation.
The superiors gave strict orders, and he only had to guard the door and not let anyone enter the dormitory of Captain Zhai. Except for Teacher Qiao, he didn't have to do anything else. But he didn't know that Captain Zhai's condition was not as mild as he thought.
Qiao Nan looked embarrassed: "I don't know either. How about you go and ask a hospital to come and have Captain Zhai...Captain Zhai take a look, and you stay here. Or, you stay here and I'll ask a military doctor?" Apart from feeding medicine, she couldn't do anything else.
"How about this, Teacher Qiao, you take care of Captain Zhai first, and you go and ask the political commissar for help?" The soldier looked at Zhai Sheng's situation and chose a compromise.
Even though Zhai Sheng had a slight fever, at least on the surface, the soldiers couldn't see any major problems.
"That's fine." Qiao Nan was extremely anxious. The soldier's appearance gave her someone to discuss things with. "Then hurry up and don't delay. Captain Zhai is here. I'll be watching. I'm sure everything will be fine."
"Okay, Teacher Qiao, please wait. I'll be back soon!" Without saying a word, the soldier ran to the political commissar's office and explained everything to him.
After hearing this, the political commissar calmly put down the pen in his hand and said, "Do you remember my previous order?"
"Remember, I only need to guard Captain Zhai's door and not let anyone in except Teacher Qiao."
"That's fine. I don't have any new instructions. You can go back."
The soldier stared at the political commissar blankly, completely confused.
"What? You didn't understand? Do you want me to repeat it?"
"Report to the political commissar, I understand." The soldier saluted, took the lead in the mist, and stood back: "Teacher Qiao, political commissar... Captain Zhai's condition is not serious. Just let him have a good rest. There is no need to call a military doctor."
"Are you sure?" Qiao Nan's muffled voice came.
"Sure!"
"Oh..." Qiao Nan sighed. Why did she feel that this matter was so weird and ridiculous?
Qiao Nan was not sure if anyone else would come, so she had to give up her original plan. Now that she knew it was impossible for anyone else to come, Qiao Nan directly picked up the towel in Zhai Sheng's room, soaked it in water, squeezed it dry, and then wiped Zhai Sheng's face and hands.
