Chapter 92: Qiu Xuan wakes up. Just being alive is good.
The epidemic was so severe that Qiu Xiu had a fever for three whole days.
During this time she was living in a dream, and the memories of those days kept coming back to her mind.
She is like an observer, watching everything that happens in this world.
There was the tragic ending of the Qiu family, and there was also the self-inflicted suffering of the second and third branches of the Zong family.
She walked and looked along the way, and finally stopped in front of a mound of earth.
It was obviously a grave mound, with the inscription on the front, but she couldn't see it.
This forest has no owner, whose grave could it be?
Qiu Xuan walked around to the front and saw her name engraved on it.
The chill made her heart tremble. Was she dead?
Yes, the original Qiu Xuan was indeed dead, and she was just the later Qiu Xuan.
She comforted herself in this way and continued to look at the tombstone.
My wife's tomb.
Qiu Xuan's pupils contracted, and her eyes were filled with surprise.
My wife...it can only be her.
When did she die, how did she die, and why does she have no recollection of it?
She stood beside the grave and even wanted to open it to see who was lying inside.
Just at this moment, a child's voice came from the bamboo forest behind.
"Mom, what does my aunt look like? Why have I never seen her before?"
"Hmm." The man thought for a moment and replied, "Your aunt is very gentle and has a very beautiful smile."
"Then why did my aunt die at such a young age?"
"There was a plague that year. Many people died."
The two of them were getting closer and closer to the grave, and Qiu Xuan finally saw their faces clearly.
It’s Yueyang...The child next to him who looks about five years old should be Zong Shuyun.
What about the others... maybe?
"Auntie is so beautiful. No wonder uncle never remarried." Zong Shuyun said in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense." Yueyang covered his mouth and reminded him, "Your aunt and uncle have a very good relationship. If it weren't for the floods in the south this year and your uncle was stuck in traffic, he would definitely visit the grave himself."
Qiu Xuan couldn't listen to a word of what was said afterwards.
Her ears were buzzing and her mind was a mess.
She simply couldn't bear such an ending.
No wonder those people couldn’t see her, it turned out she had died a long time ago.
Qiu Xuan wanted to hold on to a tree nearby to prevent herself from falling.
But she is a soul, and can penetrate everything.
The next moment, her whole body passed through the tree and fell straight down.
-
In the house.
"It's moving, my eyelids are moving." Beside the bed, the grandmother was wiping the sweat off Qiu Xuan with a cloth.
Seeing Qiu Xuan's eyelids move, the clan mother stood up excitedly and shouted out the window.
Soon Zong Xiao ran in.
"Mom just saw it clearly, A'an's eyelids moved." The mother pointed to Zong Xiao.
Sure enough, Qiu Xuan on the bed was frowning. She seemed uncomfortable and seemed to want to open her eyes.
At that moment, Zong Xiao, who had been worried for several days, suddenly came back to life.
He walked forward, held Qiu Xuan's hand, and gently rubbed her furrowed brows with his calloused hands.
"It's okay, we are all here." Zong Xiao said softly in a hoarse voice.
He hardly closed his eyes these days. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would never see Qiu Xuan again.
The plague spread quickly, and there were burned corpses in the village every day.
A fire can kill a person, leaving no intact body.
Zong Xiao didn't dare to think about it. He was afraid of losing Qiu Xuan.
It was obvious that their lives were getting better and better, and their relationship was clearly becoming more and more loving.
Obviously...they
"Thirsty." Qiu Xuan slowly opened her eyes. She felt that everything in front of her was foggy, and her throat felt like it was burning.
"Awake!" The clan mother breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't even have time to go forward and take a look at Qiu Yun, and hurriedly told the news to the people outside.
The plague has been raging these days, and the grandmother quickly separated everyone from each other for fear that the children at home would be infected.
Here, Zong Mu and Zong Xiao take care of Qiu Xuan.
All the people over there are taken care of by Zong Anji.
Fortunately, several days passed and no one else in the family was infected.
Qiu Yun gave her medicine every day, and now she finally woke up.
It's a good thing that people are awake. Those who are gone outside will never wake up.
Zong Xiao held the spoon and fed Qiu Yu water little by little.
His hands were shaking so badly that half of the spoonful of water spilled out.
Qiu Xuan looked at Zong Xiao with her empty eyes. At first she thought she was in a dream, but the fog in front of her eyes gradually dissipated, and the bearded face came into view.
She suddenly laughed.
"Zong Xiao." She murmured softly.
"I'm here." Zong Xiao supported her and let her half lean on the pillow.
"Why is your beard so long?" Qiu Yu wanted to raise her hand, but she had just woken up and her body was still weak.
Talking alone took up a lot of her energy.
"Okay, I'll go shave in a moment." Zong Xiao held her hand and bent down to kiss it devoutly.
These days he has been hoping that she can wake up and survive.
Now I finally got what I wanted.
Qiu Xuan actually had a lot to say to him, telling him what she had seen in the past few days.
But when the words came to her lips, she didn't want to say it anymore.
She couldn't tell him that she seemed to have died once.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you some food. You'll have the strength to take your medicine after eating."
"I'm not hungry." Qiu Xuan smiled faintly. She was just tired, and she was a little tired now. "I want to sleep a little longer."
Zong Xiao bit the corner of his lips until they bled. He was afraid that all this was just a flash of the pan.
"Can you please not sleep?" He hugged her and rubbed his chin gently against her forehead.
"I'm really just going to sleep for a while." Qiu Yu said and closed her eyes.
These days, dreams and reality have been intertwined, bringing her to the brink of mental collapse.
She needs a good night's sleep now.
When the clan mother came in again with the medicine, she saw that the man had indeed closed his eyes.
The porcelain bowl fell from her hands and broke into pieces.
"Erlang, A'ao..." She was only going out for a while, so why...
"It's okay, Mom. She's just sleepy." Zong Xiao didn't dare leave for a moment. He would only feel at ease if he stayed here and heard her breathing.
"You scared me. I thought..." The grandmother realized that she had said something wrong again, and she spat three times.
"Then mother will go and cook some medicine and make some food for you." The grandmother did not dare to delay for a moment. After cleaning up the debris on the ground, she hurried to the kitchen.
Afraid that Qiu Xuan would not be able to eat, she specially steamed a bowl of egg custard and cooked a pot of rice porridge.
She thought that Qiu Xuan should be able to eat it.
In the room, Zong Xiao was guarding her by the bed.
Seeing that she was sweating again, he quickly wiped her with a towel.
Time passed minute by minute, until the evening, when Qiu Xuan woke up again.
After such a long sleep, she finally felt a little more energetic.
She squeezed her tightly clenched hands and coughed softly, "I'm hungry."
Zong Xiao tucked the hair behind her ear and nodded, "Mom has already prepared the meal, I'll make you some."
His rationality gradually returned.
At this moment he was sure that Qiu Xuan had really returned.
The grandmother had already prepared the meal, and when she heard that someone had woken up, she hurriedly brought the food in.
At that time, neither she nor Zong Xiao was in the mood to eat.
Now that Qiu Xuan has woken up, she can finally put her mind at ease.
Even light meals taste delicious.
"Eat more. You haven't eaten much these past few days."
Seeing that her little face had become thinner, the grandmother felt so distressed.
"Okay." Qiu Xuan agreed with a smile, but she had just recovered and really couldn't eat anything.
She was full before she even ate a quarter of a bowl of egg custard.
"Don't eat if you're full. When you're hungry again, I'll make it for you." Seeing that she didn't want to eat anymore, Zong Xiao put away the bowl and chopsticks.
"But I have to take the medicine later."
Fortunately, before the plague came, Qiu Xuan and her friends went to the clinic and bought a lot of medicine. Although they were not the right medicine for their condition, many of them were similar and really helped people survive.
Now people outside can’t buy medicine.
People die in the clinic every day. I heard that there is indeed a prescription that can really cure the disease, but the medicinal materials are scarce and the ones we have in Yuan Town are not enough.
It's been dead out there these days, and everyone seems to have accepted the fact that everyone will die sooner or later.
"Is everyone else at home okay?" Qiu Xuan asked.
"Everything is fine." Even those who are not sick now drink a bowl of medicine every day to nourish their bodies.
Thinking of everything in the dream, Qiu Xuan gradually felt relieved.
Yes, in the dream she was the only one missing, everyone seemed to be fine.
At night, Qiu Xuan drank the medicine and fell asleep again.
Her spirit has not yet fully recovered and she still needs to be taken care of.
Three days later, the court finally sent someone over.
The entire Yuanxiang Town was saved.
With medicine, people have a chance to survive.
Zong Xiao also went to get a dose. It turned out to be the right medicine for her condition. Qiu Xuan felt better after drinking just one dose.
But you can't stop taking this medicine, you have to take it for half a month.
The court only issued one prescription. If the patient recovered after taking it, it meant there was still hope. If not, there was no need to continue treatment.
Zong Xiao took the money and went to the clinic to buy some medicine. The medicine was expensive, and he spent nearly twenty taels.
If their family hadn't saved some money from business... they wouldn't be able to afford this medicine.
Qiu Xuan only found out about this after she recovered. She sighed slightly, not because she was worried about the money.
She just feels that human life is sometimes really cheap.
There is medicine that can save lives, but the poor have no chance of survival at this time.
"What are you thinking about?" Zong Xiao came in with the medicine and saw Qiu Yun sitting blankly by the window, staring at something in a daze.
"No." Qiu Xuan waved at him, motioning him to sit next to her.
She said, "After this plague is over, I wonder how many people will be left in our town."
When Zong Xiao went to town these days, he found that there were fewer people on the streets.
Fewer people go to the clinic to buy medicine.
Those who can afford it have already bought it, and those who can’t afford it are already dead.
"Don't think too much, just be alive." Zong Xiao rubbed her head and smiled with relief.
After experiencing this incident, Zong Xiao had only one thought.
That's being alive.
Only when a family is together can it be considered a complete home.
No matter how much money you make, it is not as good as having your family alive.
"You know, I actually had a dream during that time." Qiu Xuan couldn't hold back something in her heart. It had been almost half a month, and she still wanted to say it.
"What did you dream about?" Zong Xiao looked at her, his heart and eyes filled with her.
"I dreamed that I died." Qiu Xuan had just said half of the word death when Zong Xiao covered her mouth.
Zong Xiao couldn't bear to hear that word. He didn't want to hear it and didn't dare to hear it.
Qiu Xuan winked at him, signaling him to let go, but she hadn't finished speaking yet.
"Don't say that word again." Zong Xiao hugged her from the side and held her tightly in his arms.
But it wasn't enough, it wasn't enough to fill the heart he almost lost her to.
Zong Xiao changed his posture, freeing his right hand to pinch her chin, forcing her to look at him.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
"A'er. Don't leave me next time." Zong Xiao stroked the corner of her lips with his fingertips, and then moved his lips closer.
