Chapter 23 I will definitely try my best to save him
He originally wanted to ask if Hua Qingmei had gone out to play with someone else, but then he felt that saying so would easily give people a misunderstanding about a lesbian who was about to get married, so he changed his words in time.
Moreover, Hua Qingmei is a girl. When she found out there was a fun place, she didn't go with her partner but went alone. This could easily arouse people's imagination.
"Of course I can. I'm glad to help you. And I hope you can find Hua Qingmei as soon as possible. Otherwise, her parents might use me as a punching bag and vent their dissatisfaction on me!"
The mountain that Hua Xiali and Wang Liang went to climb was an unnamed mountain. Without a route map, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find it.
Hua Qingmei was looking for the grass bead bracelet according to the route map she drew. If they followed the route map and went up the mountain, they would definitely be able to find Hua Qingmei.
"Comrade Hua Xiali, thank you so much. Human life is at stake. Let's go find someone now." After Yu Qingxin and Yan Yishen got the route map, they quickly got up and left.
After all, Hua Qingmei has been out for so long, and we don’t know if she is alone in the mountain. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be.
After the two public security comrades left, Huo Beixi was still sitting in the living room of Hua Xiali's house drinking tea. He didn't even drink a sip of Yan Yishen's cup of tea. Hua Xiali directly brought the cup of tea to him. When he was about to drink it, it was snatched away by someone.
Hua Xiali looked at Huo Beixi in surprise as he snatched the tea from her hand. She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. Then she got up and left without saying anything.
Sighing helplessly, she had to wash a few teacups and then made herself another cup of tea.
The next morning, before daybreak, the mother and daughter of the Hua family covered the cart with a blanket and lifted Hua's father onto the cart. Hua Xiali said to Hua Qiuli, "Qiuli, you are alone at home. When the time comes, go directly to school. Don't wait for us. No matter who knocks on the door, don't open it. Do you understand?"
Hua Qiuli frowned impatiently, "Second sister, I get it. I'm not a child anymore. I can't even take care of the house."
Seeing this, Hua Xiali stopped talking. All adolescent boys and girls are like this. Any words from their family members are considered too much. Anyway, nothing serious would happen to her, so Hua Xiali decided to just ignore it.
Afterwards, Hua Xiali put the rope of the cart on his shoulders and dragged the cart forward. Hua's mother pushed the cart from behind, and the two of them set out under the starry sky.
There are many people going to the hospital, so they can only receive treatment earlier if they go earlier. If they go late, they really don’t know how long they will have to wait in line.
Coming out of the village and walking onto the road out of the village, all the potholes had been filled up, and Hua Xiali felt a little moved.
She didn't know how long Huo Beixi took to fill the pothole, and she didn't know why Huo Beixi wanted to help her like this.
But she couldn't take it for granted that he had helped her several times. When he was about to get into trouble, she would try her best to save him. As for when the accident happened, she would think about it carefully when she had time. If she really couldn't remember the specific date and time, then during that period of time, she would have to follow him.
As long as he can be saved, it doesn't matter if he is misunderstood. It won't hurt me anyway.
"Mom, let me earn some money first, and then we'll go to the hospital in the county town for medical treatment next month!" Hua Xiali said to his mother as he walked.
The reason they wanted to wait until next month was because Hua Qingmei was getting married in May. Once Hua Qingmei got married and was no longer in the village, there would be no way to keep an eye on them.
She also wanted to earn some money. Although she still had a thousand yuan and her mother also had some money, if she went to the county hospital for treatment, the money would not last long. No matter what era, hospitals were the most expensive places.
Mother Hua nodded, "I'll do as you say."
She is willing to spend any amount of money as long as it can make Hua's father get better. After all, her three daughters are still young, and if Hua's father continues to lie in bed like this, it will have a great impact on their daughters.
They can't go out, can't go to work, and stay at home to take care of him all their lives. Do they still have a life? Don't they have nothing to do in their lives?
If Hua's father were better, the couple could stay at home and farm, and the children could go out and see the wider world. Even if they had to work and earn a few hundred yuan a month, they could buy some nice clothes and eat delicious food, which was always better than staying in the countryside.
After walking for about two hours, they finally arrived at the hospital in the town. Although it was already daybreak and the doctors had not yet started working, there was already a long line of people waiting to register in the hospital lobby. Hua Xiali and his mother also hurriedly pushed his father there to queue up.
"Mom, you must be tired after walking for such a long time. You should sit at the back of the cart and have a rest." Hua Xiali helped his mother to the back of the cart and let her sit down, while he stood at the back of the line to queue.
Hua Xiali wants to have his father examined first and then give him acupuncture. Acupuncture has not had any effect after so long, so he must find out what the problem is, right?
Only by finding out where the problem lies can we solve it.
When the hospital staff came to work and the people in the registration area also came to work, all the people waiting in line for registration became more energetic and no longer as lifeless as before.
Hua Xiali made an appointment for Hua's father, and then went outside the department to queue up. Fortunately, there were not many people in this department, so it was Hua's father's turn soon.
The test results cannot be obtained immediately. The time for various tests to produce results is also different. Some are fast, some are slow, and some even require two days to wait. So after the examination, Hua Xiali and Hua's mother hurriedly took Hua's father to receive acupuncture treatment.
They don't have to worry about anything during acupuncture treatment, they just have to wait outside.
"Mom, it won't get better in a while, so you sit here and wait. I'll go to the market to buy some meat and bones." Hua Xiali said to his mother.
Mother Hua nodded, "Okay, then you should be careful."
After leaving the hospital, I walked for about ten minutes to reach the vegetable market. It was past the peak hour for customers, so there were not many people in the market and it was not that noisy.
Hua Xiali walked from stall to stall. When she passed a fish stall, she paused, but did not stop. In her previous life, she relied on catching eels and selling them to pay for her two sons' tuition and buy bicycles for them to finish elementary school. Later, when her children entered junior high school, she followed them into the city and found various jobs to make money.
So she is quite good at catching fish. If she wants to eat fish, she can catch it herself. There is no need to spend money. She doesn't have much money now, so every penny must be spent wisely.
It was past the time when most people would buy groceries, and the pork stalls had sold out of the best cuts of meat, leaving only some of the inferior cuts.
