After Lu Zhiye and his group left, the square-faced man arranged for the girl to take care of the woman in the hospital.
It was not until the next morning that Zhu Xiuli woke up from her daze.
The little girl was sitting there dozing off. When she sensed some movement, she opened her eyes alertly.
Seeing Zhu Xiuli's dry lips and mumbling something, the little girl hurriedly shouted at the door: "Doctor, doctor, nurse, she's awake."
During this time, the young nurse poured out a cup of warm water, but she did not feed it into the woman's mouth immediately.
This person is seriously injured. Whether he can drink water or avoid certain foods all depends on the doctor's advice.
The doctor who treated Zhu Xiuli yesterday walked over quickly.
After carefully examining her, he gradually felt relieved: "It's all right now. We've gotten through the previous hurdles. Just change the dressing on time and don't let the wound get infected. There will be basically no problem."
The little girl couldn't help but mutter, "You are so lucky. Yesterday we all thought you wouldn't survive."
The young doctor also smiled softly: "Who said it wasn't? Your physical fitness is really rare. An ordinary person would have collapsed long ago after losing so much blood and having so many wounds at once."
Zhu Xiuli licked her cracked lips: "Can I have a glass of water?"
"You can drink, but in small amounts and multiple times."
The little girl quickly ran to the table nearby and took the enamel cup.
After Zhu Xiuli finished drinking the water, the girl said to the doctor, "Can I borrow your office phone for a moment? Call the bureau."
The doctor pointed to the young nurse next to him and took her over.
Then he said to Zhu Xiuli: "The injuries on your body cover too large an area. I guess you won't be able to do anything big for the next half month to a month.
You will be hospitalized for a week, and the initial expenses will be paid for you by a few people in the village.
How do you pay the subsequent fees? Why don’t you call your family to discuss it? "
Zhu Xiuli forced a smile on her pale face: "I'll call my family later. I want to ask the doctor if the man who sent me here yesterday was a tall, strong, handsome, and tough man."
The young doctor's heart was filled with alarm. After thinking carefully, it seemed that there was a young man yesterday who looked the same as Zhu Xiuli described.
He said nervously: "Did that guy push you down?
If so, you can tell the police that they will never run away!!!"
The doctor roared indignantly that yesterday that group of people swore that they were saving lives.
In the end, everyone was fooled by them???
Zhu Xiuli shook her head repeatedly, and this action affected the wound on her body, causing her to gasp: "Hiss......~"
The young doctor quickly held her shoulders and said soothingly, "Don't worry. The Public Security Bureau is quite a distance away from here. Just take your time to talk."
Zhu Xiuli's face was distorted with pain, but she was afraid that others would misunderstand her savior, so she endured the pain and said, "It wasn't them who pushed me down, it was these people who saved me.
I just want to clarify whether it was an illusion before I fell into a coma.
If it was really that man who saved me, I would definitely give him some compensation."
The young doctor heaved a sigh of relief: "He is from the nearby Dahe Village, and those young men are very enthusiastic. When you get better, go and repay them.
The most important thing now is that you have to explain clearly to the public security comrades how a person could appear in the mountains.
Also, call your family. The New Year is coming soon, and you can’t let a little girl stay here to take care of you.”
Zhu Xiuli lowered her eyes, feeling bitter in her heart.
She did not answer the doctor's question immediately. The young doctor also saw her refusal and did not ask any more questions. He simply gave her a few instructions and left the ward.
When the little girl came back with the square-faced man, the young nurse was giving Zhu Xiuli an IV.
Seeing them coming, he quickly said, "Help her watch the needle."
The square-faced man walked quickly to Zhu Xiuli's side and asked in a deep voice, "Comrade, when you were sent to the hospital, you had no letter of introduction and no identification.
And he appeared alone in the mountains. I wonder what the reason is?"
Zhu Xiuli simply recounted her story, and looking at the square-faced man's thoughtful expression, she pursed her lips.
The square-faced man saw that she was a little hesitant, so he shouted to the girl to close the door, pulled a bench and sat down: "Comrade Zhu, you said you were here to look for someone?
Where is your letter of introduction and identity certificate?"
“When I arrived at the village, the villagers said that the man I was looking for might have gone to the mountains to collect firewood or go hunting.
Let me look over there...
The range they were talking about was the outer area. I was not familiar with this mountain at all, and before I knew it, I was deep in the mountains.
Later, I fell into a trap, and you know what happened next.
My letter of introduction and bag were both stolen when I got off the train.
I only have a few dollars left. If you don’t believe me, you can call my home.”
As the woman spoke, she spat out a string of numbers.
"This is my home phone number, please inform them.
Otherwise, they would be worried.”
Zhu Xiuli looked a little anxious. She hadn't called home in the past two days. Her father and others must be very worried.
When the square-faced man heard the words "there's a phone call at home", he was a little surprised and his expression became serious.
"Xiao Liu, use the number this comrade gave you to call her family and explain the situation here."
The little girl responded crisply and ran away as fast as she could.
Zhu Xiuli said one more sentence: "Comrade Public Security, could you please help me bring the comrade who saved me here?
I have something to say to him....”
Fearing that the police officer would have the same suspicion as the doctor, Zhu Xiuli quickly explained: "Before, they took such a big risk and jumped down to save me.
I also wanted to take something promised by the young man, and I wanted to ask him what he wanted?
Just in time for my family to come over, I'll bring it with me."
The square-faced man showed a hint of disapproval: "Helping each other and saving lives are all natural. How can you take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail us?"
Zhu Xiuli waved her intact hand gently and said, "I took the initiative to bring it up.
They saved my life, so it's only right that they should be compensated.
As civil servants, you serve the people and your ideological awareness must be very high.
But for ordinary people, I can only feel at ease if they get this reward."
