Chapter 862: Anxious
The hail stopped a little after one in the morning.
The entire Qingta Hutong was plunged into silence.
There was only a small Pekingese dog in the distance, either in the suburbs or in someone's nearby home, barking non-stop.
The Fu family compound was unaffected. The whole family had endured the hailstorm that pounded the roof, and were now sleeping peacefully.
“Bang—”
“Dongdong——”
“Dongdongdong——”
Suddenly, there was a dull knock on the door outside.
At first, it didn't seem very real, and Fu Jingyou thought it was just a dream, so he ignored it.
Later on, the sound became more and more real and dense.
He woke up with a start, and without even bothering to put on his clothes, he hurried out to see what was going on.
As soon as the gate opened, a man fell towards him.
Fu Jingyou was startled when he saw who it was under the dim street light and quickly caught the person.
After the hailstorm, the temperature outside rose a bit, but it was not as hot as usual.
There was a gentle breeze, and it was cool and comfortable to sleep with a blanket on at night.
But Xie Fei kept wearing the wet clothes and did not change them, and he did not recover from the cold he had caught earlier.
It took me three or four hours to walk and run all the way from the South Third Ring Road to get here. Any sweat I produced was immediately blown away by the breeze.
The body temperature is not much better than before and is still out of balance.
When a person's teeth chatter, he appears to be slow to react and his consciousness is not that clear.
How can this be possible?
Fu Jingyou carried the man back to the side room and wrapped him up in a blanket.
He stood up and tried to go out, but Xie Fei regained consciousness, grabbed him, and with trembling hands pulled out a plastic bag from his arms and stuffed it into his hand.
What the hell?
Fu Jingyou opened it and took a quick look, his tone immediately becoming anxious:
"You can come tomorrow, why do you have to come now? Where can I find you a room so late at night? You're really asking for trouble!"
Throwing the plastic bag back on the bed, Fu Jingyou first knocked on the window of the upper room in the yard. After hearing his wife's vague response from inside, he pushed the door open and went into the main room to turn on the light.
Lu Miao came out with sleepy eyes and clothes on:
"What's wrong?"
Fu Jingyou whispered:
"Xie Fei is here."
"What?"
Lu Miao was startled, then quickly covered his mouth when he realized what was happening.
She quickly glanced at her watch and asked in a low voice:
"You're walking here at this hour?"
Fu Jingyou nodded: "He brought the passbook over and asked us how much we spent on buying this yard. I think he wanted to move out."
"It's late at night, really... why rush? It's pitch dark and you're not afraid of rolling into a river!"
Lu Miao frowned and looked outside:
"Where are the people?"
"In the side room."
Fu Jingyou smoothed the collar of the dress he had draped over her shoulders and walked in front of her to lead her to see.
Lu Miao put on his coat on the way.
When she arrived at the side room and saw Xie Fei shaking like he was on the vibration function, she bent over and walked closer, putting her hand on him first.
“It’s so cold!”
"Does this need to be taken to the hospital?"
“No, no!”
Lu Miao said anxiously, "Hypothermia can be fatal. We can't send him directly to the hospital. Even if we do, the same procedures still apply!"
"Heat up the kang, quickly! Let his body temperature cool down first!"
Her tone was urgent, and Fu Jingyou didn't dare to delay.
He quickly put on his coat and went to the kitchen to get kindling and coal briquettes and started working.
Lu Miao was also busy.
He went back to the upper room and brought back two sets of clean clothes, and asked Fu Jingyou to take the time to change them for Xie Fei.
She turned and went to the kitchen to light a fire and cut ginger into shreds, busy as a mile.
During this time, the lights in the upper house also came on.
Fu Jingyou called out to Lu Miao.
When Lu Miao stuck his head out and saw it, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He quickly put down the kitchen knife and went into the room.
Gu Ying woke up.
When Lu Miao pushed the door open and entered the room, she was sitting on the kang, leaning against the window and looking out.
Lu Miao coughed and said with a smile:
"Did it bother you?"
Gu Ying retracted her gaze and shook her head:
"No, I saw it was still dark outside, but you got up and started working. Did something happen?"
She hadn't even finished her postpartum confinement for a single day, so how could Lu Miao dare to tell her about Xie Fei's situation?
He just lied and explained:
"No, didn't it hail last night? Someone came over from Brother You's factory and said a shed or something had collapsed, and they wanted him to go over and take a look. I gave him something to eat, and told him to eat before leaving."
This explanation is quite reasonable.
Gu Ying nodded thoughtfully.
She was just worried whether she had disturbed the place, or whether Xie Fei had come?
Just now when I was half asleep, I seemed to hear someone mention Xie Fei's name.
She looked out the window again, but it was pitch black outside and she couldn't see anything.
Thinking that Xie Fei would definitely not come at this time, he felt a little relieved.
Lu Miao comforted her:
"Just lie down and sleep. Don't stay up. I'll be here soon."
Gu Ying nodded.
After all, a woman who just had a miscarriage is still weak.
Gu Ying didn't force herself and lay down again obediently.
Lu Miao had just breathed a sigh of relief after closing the door when Fu Jingyou called her again in a low voice from outside.
She walked out quickly:
"What's wrong?"
Fu Jingyou didn't say anything, but just showed Xie Fei's wet shirt to her.
Just now, Xie Fei was wrapped in a blanket, and neither Fu Jingyou nor Lu Miao noticed.
Fu Jingyou changed Xie Fei's clothes and then realized something was wrong.
Lu Miao felt dizzy and exclaimed softly:
"Where's the blood? Was he robbed on the road?"
"I don't know. There's a huge gash on his arm, and he's in a daze right now, so I can't get any information from him."
Lu Miao frowned and sighed softly, "Ouch."
After checking the condition of Xie Fei's arm, Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou to make ginger soup.
He quietly went into the house and brought out the medical kit.
There are children at home, so simple and commonly used medicines and the like are fully available.
Xie Fei was lying on the kang, Lu Miao rolled up his sleeves, the small light bulb in the room was dim and it was difficult to see anything clearly.
She lit a kerosene lamp and placed it beside him, then helped Xie Fei treat his wound.
I don't know how it happened, but the wound is no longer bleeding, but the skin and flesh are swollen and turned outward, and it looks very deep.
After being covered by the wet coat for a long time, the skin around him turned bluish-white, which looked very creepy at first glance.
Lu Miao hated to see such bloody scenes.
But there was nothing I could do now, I could only bite my lips and go ahead with the gauze and cotton swab.
Fu Jingyou brought her the cooked ginger soup, watched for a while and said:
"The car is parked a little far away. I'll go drive it back first."
Lu Miao hummed, frowning without being distracted.
She swallowed hard, then continued to bandage Xie Fei.
After all the busy work, Lu Miao was sweating a lot.
She shivered when a light breeze blew at night.
Without wasting too long, she quickly packed up the medicine box, picked up the ginger soup, gently pushed the dazed Xie Fei, and called him to get up and drink some.
After heating the kang and drinking ginger soup, Xie Fei gradually stopped shaking so violently.
