Chapter 99
Gu Kai and the old man returned to Beining on the third day after Shen Cong and his friends returned home.
At that time, she and Shi Chen were resting at home.
Because they had been working continuously for more than a month, the working group gave them a few days off.
Chen Cong and the others were still thinking about going back to the community to bring Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Chen Xi to Fulin to play together.
From the first earthquake to now, their family has hardly ever left the community, and the farthest they have been is to Qingshan Town.
The environment is a little better now, and I can take the children out for a walk.
Apart from anything else, it’s still possible to go back to Fulin and welcome the New Year together here.
So, when Liu □□'s people came to ask Chen Cong to go to the regiment headquarters to pick someone up, she was cleaning the house with Shi Chen and his sister.
Knowing that Gu Kai and the others were back, everyone was very happy. Chen Cong left the cleaning of the house to the brother and sister and went to drive.
Until this point, she still hadn't thought about why Liu Tuan would specifically ask someone to ask her to pick him up?
Why can’t Gu Kai and the others go home on their own?
So, when she saw her father-in-law who was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, she was completely shocked.
The old man was lying on the bed in the guesthouse.
Although the old man insisted on sitting up when he saw her, his weakness showed clearly that he was just forcing himself.
In less than three months, the old man became so thin that only a bag of bones was left.
Chen Cong was so stunned that he felt as if he had returned to his previous life, when the old man was about to die.
She was completely dumbfounded. She stood there with a moment of palpitations and didn't dare to take a step forward.
"What are you standing there for? Don't you recognize me?"
Seeing his daughter-in-law's dazed look, Gu Zhengchu smiled and said to her, "Take your things and prepare to go back. Don't cause trouble for the leader here."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Tuan, who was standing aside with a deeply apologetic look on his face, and waved his hand at him: "What do you have to be sorry about? This has nothing to do with you. I know my own health, and it's fine. I just need to take care of myself."
At this time, Chen Cong had already reacted, and her tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Although she could tell from her voice that her father-in-law was in much better condition than in his previous life, she still couldn't accept the old man's sick appearance.
She wiped her eyes hard, but the tears would not go away.
Although the old man repeatedly said that it had nothing to do with Liu Tuan and told him not to feel guilty, Chen Cong was not so generous. She was just a little angry!
feel--
No matter who you represent, since you want our family members to go out to work, you should at least ensure their health and safety, right?
Is this how you guarantee it?!
It’s a good thing you had the nerve to say anything to me before - you must have been treated with the highest level of courtesy.
This is courtesy, then how can you live without courtesy? !
Because of her inner anger, she had a stern face and didn't even look at Liu Tuan.
He just walked to the old man and asked, "Dad, where is Gu Kai? Where did Gu Kai go?"
The old man glanced at Shen Cong, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
But he knew that his daughter-in-law was worried about him. Although he knew in his heart that no one could do anything about this situation and it was meaningless to vent his anger on her, he didn't want to say much in front of outsiders.
He had no choice but to say to Shen Cong: "Gu Kai has gone to the health center and will be back soon. Let's wait for a while."
"Going to the health center? Why? He is injured?!" Shen Cong stood up straight at once.
When she entered the room, she saw that her husband was not in the room.
I was just too shocked when I saw my father-in-law that I didn't ask right away.
But now, when she heard that her husband had gone to the health center, and thought about her father-in-law's current condition, she immediately turned to look at Liu Tuan with sharp eyes.
"What happened to Gu Kai? What happened to him?"
Although he tried hard to control his emotions, his tone was aggressive, as if he was looking for an accusation.
Liu Tuan felt his scalp tingling when he saw her look.
I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
He felt that he was already old enough and had fought on the battlefield many times, but he did not expect to be seen by a skinny little girl at this moment. He felt a little nervous.
This really makes people anxious.
He couldn't explain it either.
Seeing that Chen Cong was in a hurry to go out, he hurriedly stopped him: “Gu Kai is fine, he was just hit by the acid rain a few times, and his skin is a little infected, so he needs to go and treat it.
Don't run away. I asked someone to take him there on an electric bike. If you drive, they will be back before you get there."
Hit by acid rain?
Chen Cong quickly turned to look at his father-in-law.
Only then did I discover that there were burn marks on the old man's forehead, temples, and several patches of skin on his cheeks.
The skin at the burned area has turned into black spots.
This may be because the raindrops hitting the face are small, and the area of skin burned is also relatively small.
There were dots on them again. She had thought they were age spots and didn't pay much attention to them.
Only when I looked closely did I realize that they were scars left by acid rain.
My heavy heart suddenly sank.
It has been more than a month since the acid rain in Bac Ninh, and the marks on my father-in-law’s face can be seen to have almost healed.
And Gu Kai's injuries still require him to go to the hospital for treatment, how serious is that?!
If you are hit by acid rain, will you be hurt for more than a month?
Was it soaked by the rain?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. How could she stay there for a while?
I just wanted to rush to my husband's side and see it with my own eyes.
Fortunately, at this moment, footsteps and the voices of several people were heard outside.
"I'm back!" Liu Tuan was the first to say.
Then he opened the door faster than a murmur.
Gu Kai had just walked to the door, but before he could knock, the door suddenly opened. Just as he was about to speak, he met his wife's tearful gaze.
His eyes moved, and his gaze became fiery and eager.
A smile broke out on his face, and just as he was about to speak, he was pulled in by Chen Cong.
Because Shen Cong was too anxious, his hands moved a little too heavily, and he didn't know where he touched Gu Kai, but the pain made him frown slightly.
But the smile on Gu Kai's face did not change at all. He held Chen Cong with his backhand, his palm burning.
Because there were outsiders around, he didn't say anything, but his eyes seemed to be glued to his wife and he didn't want to move away at all.
But Chen Cong was now paying full attention to his body, and even the slightest changes could not be hidden from her eyes.
She naturally saw that Gu Kai was in pain.
So she completely chose to ignore his goodwill at this time.
Without saying a word, she shook off Gu Kai's hand and rolled up his sleeves.
Then I was shocked by the redness, swelling, oozing, and large areas of ulcerated skin on his arms.
The tears that had been lingering in my eyes suddenly burst out again.
Although she was mentally prepared and knew that he was injured, she could not imagine how serious her husband's injuries were without seeing it with her own eyes.
It was such hot weather and others were sweating profusely even in short sleeves, but Gu Kai was wearing a long-sleeved shirt when he walked in.
So as soon as Chen Cong saw him, he knew that his injury must be in his arm.
But she didn't expect his arm to be so rotten!
There were still some burn marks on the skin, needless to say, where they were hit by the acid rain.
I don’t know where they encountered the acid rain, but the concentration is so high!
Those who know it think it is rain, while those who don’t think it is sulfuric acid!
It can burn the skin like this.
In addition to the burn marks, the most terrifying things on Gu Kai's arms are the tiny blisters, the granular rashes, and the large areas of oozing and ulcerated skin.
Although these places have been treated and applied with medicine, they still look shocking.
Seeing that Chen Cong had started crying without caring about anything, and seeing that Liu Tuan and several other people in the group who were standing next to him were too embarrassed to stand, Gu Kai also had a headache.
He knew that it would be useless for him to say anything at this moment, and if he said too much, his wife would surely get angry with him.
I had to change the subject: "Did you drive here? Is there a pillow in the car? Daddy might want to lie down for a while."
"Yes." Shen Cong nodded while choking with sobs.
Since Gu Kai has returned, she doesn't want to stay here any longer. She can go home and talk about anything.
Moreover, the conditions at home are better than here. At least there is a formation, which will also be beneficial for the old man's physical recovery.
Although Gu Kai didn't look much thinner, Liu Tuan didn't dare to use him at the moment!
Knowing that they were leaving, he immediately sent a young soldier to go back with them in the car, with the purpose of carrying Mr. Gu upstairs.
Ever since Chen Cong left home, Shi Chen has been looking out the window non-stop.
Seeing the car enter the community, he didn't stay in the house for a minute and went downstairs directly.
When the young man saw that the old man was carried down from the car by someone, he was so scared that his lips turned pale.
He hurried over and supported the old man's waist from behind, then asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." The old man smiled at him: "I was just injured, it's just a small thing."
Even though he said so, how could Shi Chen believe it?
He bit his lip, helped Chen Cong take the large and small bags that he brought back, and went upstairs with the group.
It was impossible for one person to carry the old man up to the nineteen floors at once. Gu Kai wanted to switch with the young soldier but was stopped by Shi Chen.
He bent down and carried Mr. Gu on his back, but as soon as he stood up, his eyes turned red.
He didn't expect the old man to be so light, so light that he felt he was not much heavier than carrying Cancan.
It doesn't even feel like the weight of an adult.
Thinking about the energetic old man before he left, and then looking at the thin and frail old man now, Shi Chen gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Just when no one was paying attention, I rubbed my face on my shoulder to wipe away the tears.
…
After sending them home, the little soldier left.
Several people immediately carried the old man into his bedroom.
Fortunately, Shi Chen and Can Can had just cleaned the room. Knowing that they would be back soon, they even washed and dried the sheets and quilt covers.
After making sure that there were no outsiders in the house, Chen Cong could no longer endure it. He grabbed Gu Kai and began to ask about the reasons for their injuries.
