"Waiting like this isn't a solution." Zheng Xinyi saw that the sun was so strong that they might die of heat before the car arrived. She stood up and looked around: "Uncle, take Grandma to the shade over there first. Auntie and I will go find a car."
Zheng Shaodong glanced at Li Fen, who was about to collapse in his arms, nodded slightly, and carried Li Fen to a cool place.
"You, come with me to borrow a car." Zheng Xinyi said to Yingzi who was standing there in a daze.
Time was running out and the situation was urgent. Zheng Xinyi and Yingzi went to several houses in the scorching sun but failed to borrow a car.
"What should I do?" Zheng Xinyi looked at the scorching sun in the sky, frowning anxiously.
"There seems to be a car ahead." Yingzi said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Looking around, Zheng Xinyi smiled and immediately trotted over. An old man wearing a sun hat was driving an ox cart and preparing to go to work.
"Uncle, my grandma is seriously ill and urgently needs a car to go to the hospital. Can you lend us your ox cart?" Zheng Xinyi pleaded.
"Hey! Aren't you the girl from the Zheng family?" The old man looked up and recognized him at a glance.
"It's me, sir. I really need a cart. Please, help us." Zheng Xinyi kept begging, but the sir looked embarrassed. In a hurry, Zheng Xinyi took out two yuan from her pocket and said, "Sir, I'll hire this ox cart, okay?"
"But my son doesn't allow me to have anything to do with your Zheng family." The old man said in a particularly embarrassed tone.
"Uncle, can you really bear to watch someone die without helping?" Zheng Xinyi held his arm and begged.
The old man glanced at Li Fen, who was almost dying, and said helplessly, "Alright! I'll take you to the county town, but you have to keep it a secret for me and don't let my son know about this."
"Thank you, sir. You are really a good person." His brows relaxed and he spoke from the bottom of his heart.
"Hurry up and put her on the cart. Hurry up. It would be bad if someone saw us and told my son." The old man drove the ox cart over, looked around, and kept urging them. Fortunately, it was noon and there were not many people on the road. Everyone had gone to hide to avoid the heat.
Zheng Shaodong carried Li Fen into the car, and everyone quickly got on the ox cart and started heading for the county town.
Li Fen frowned slightly, her lips turned pale, and breathing became increasingly difficult.
"Uncle, please be a little faster. My grandma is really in pain." Zheng Xinyi urged anxiously.
"It's already speeding up." The old man responded.
At this moment, Zheng Xinyi really wished that she could be like in the TV dramas, with all her martial arts skills, and fly to the county hospital with her grandmother on her back.
"Xinyi, aren't you a military doctor? Think of a solution quickly." Zheng Shaodong saw that Li Fen's condition was getting worse and worse, and urged her anxiously.
"No matter how good my medical skills are, there are no medical equipment now. What can I do? Grandma is having difficulty breathing and urgently needs oxygen. I can't conjure oxygen out of thin air." Zheng Xinyi was also anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
"We're at the county hospital, hurry up!" The old man finally drove the ox cart to the county hospital and urged them on.
Zheng Shaodong immediately ran into the hospital carrying Li Fen.
As agreed, Zheng Xinyi stuffed two yuan into the old man's hand and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"I have to hurry back, otherwise I will be scolded if my son finds out." The old man took the money and hurried back without stopping.
