Chapter 46

Grandpa Li was injured

Fang Xin was a little tired after days of busy work, and had planned to sleep a little longer and get up later today.

But I don’t know why I woke up so early. I felt anxious and couldn’t enjoy my food. I was always restless and distracted in everything I did.

She immediately decided to go down the mountain to visit her parents today.

Basically, I go to check on them every month.

Before leaving, I stuffed the dog and the little second floor into the space one by one.

Fang Xin quickly went down the mountain.

There were still many people chopping wood at the foot of the mountain, but I didn't care about them and just ran down through the crowd.

When we arrived at the town entrance, there were still people guarding it and collecting tolls.

Ever since the last toll collection chief was fired, the tolls haven't been as exaggerating, but they haven't been much less either, about half and half.

This time Fang Xin did not wait until the evening to enter the town. Instead, he made a big detour and entered the town from the diagonal back, then climbed over the walls of two houses before arriving at his second elder brother's home.

When we arrived at my second elder's house, we still knocked on the glass three times gently.

When Grandma Li in the house heard the rhythm of the knocking, she knew who had come, because only Fang Xin would knock on the glass in her house.

Grandma Li ran over and opened the door.

"Xinxin, you're finally here." Grandma Li's voice was a little hoarse.

"Grandma, what's wrong with your throat? Are you feeling unwell?" Fang Xin said nervously as he entered the room.

"No, I'm fine. It's you, Grandpa Li."

Grandma Li looked anxious, her lips trembling slightly, and she nervously held Fang Xin's hand, "Xinxin, do you... do you have any medicine to treat external injuries?"

Fang Xin's heart tightened, "Yes, is there something wrong with Grandpa?"

"The old man got stabbed. It's all my fault. It's all my fault." Grandma Li covered her face in pain and blamed herself.

Now was not the time to ask why. She quickly soothed Grandma Li and patted her on the back. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here, I'm here."

"How is Grandpa's injury?"

Grandma Li forced herself to control her emotions and led Fang Xin into the bedroom.

Grandma Li pulled back the quilt with trembling hands, revealing Grandpa Li's back, which was heavily bandaged. Grandpa Li's face was pale and he was in a coma.

Grandma Li said in a trembling voice, "Three people broke into the house yesterday, and the old man was stabbed while trying to protect me."

"All the medicines in the house were taken away. I had no choice but to clean and bandage the wound with water. However, the old man did not wake up for a whole day and night and had a high fever."

Fang Xin frowned and immediately comforted Grandma Li, "It's okay, it's okay, I brought the medicine."

He took off the backpack on his back and took out all the necessary medicines.

"Grandma, is this enough? Tell me if you need anything else."

Grandma Li touched the medicine with shaking hands, "Enough, enough, great, these old men's lives can be saved."

"Okay, I don't know any medical knowledge, so what do you say?"

Grandma Li wiped her eyes and cheered up. "Just help me deliver the stuff."

"good."

Grandma Li hurriedly treated Grandpa Li's wound. When the gauze was untied, a wound about ten centimeters long was revealed. Fortunately, the wound was not deep and did not hurt the bone.

Fang Xin watched from the side with a frown on his face. When Grandma Li needed something, Fang Xin was quick to hand it over immediately.

In the past, she would bandage the wounds with cloth strips, leaving life and death to fate. She was lucky enough to survive time and time again.

While the wound was being sutured, Grandpa Li groaned in pain. He opened his eyes and took a look in a daze, but he had no energy at all and fell asleep again.

The wound was sutured, medicine was applied, and finally it was wrapped with gauze.

Grandma Li wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "After applying the medicine, the wound won't get infected, won't get worse, and will heal."

Fang Xin brought the warm glucose over and said, "It will definitely get better, grandma, don't worry." Fang Xin passed the glucose forward and said, "Do you want an injection of glucose?"

Grandma Li nodded. "He needs to be beaten. The old man hasn't eaten anything for a whole day and night."

"Okay, I'll do it, you take a break."

Fang Xin found a higher place to hang the bottle, and then clumsily inserted the needle into the blood vessel with both hands.

Grandpa Li was thin, so it was easy to find the vein. He inserted the needle with one shot and then took out the tape to secure the needle.

Looked for a while again.

I was relieved only when I was sure that there was no blood recovery.

He looked at Grandma Li, who looked not very well, and said, "Grandma, you should get some rest. I will not leave today. I will take care of the drip."

Grandma Li nodded tiredly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, go and have a rest, I'm here."

"Then you will spend the night on the sofa."

"Okay, don't worry about it, just take a rest."

"The quilt is in the cupboard. Take it out when you go to bed. Light the stove in the living room to keep warm. Don't catch a cold." Grandma Li warned.

"Got it. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Fang Xin tucked the corner of the quilt for Grandma Li.

"Well, okay. Thank you for your hard work." Grandma Li murmured softly. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore. It was as if her tense nerves finally relaxed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short while.

Take out two hot water bottles from the space, fill them with hot water, and place them at the feet of the two elders.

I touched Grandpa Li's forehead again, and it finally felt less hot and his complexion looked much better.

Fang Xin found a place to place the stove in the living room, took out some thin firewood that was easy to burn from the space and lit the stove.

The living room was smashed into a complete mess; even the stove was out of shape.

The pots, pans, and utensils in the kitchen were all broken.

Fang Xin cleaned up the bathroom and threw away some damaged items.

With a sigh, it is really difficult for the elderly to survive in the apocalypse.

After doing all this, he sat back on the bed quietly and looked at the IV bottle.

It took more than an hour for the IV to be emptied. I pulled out the needle and tucked in the quilt for Grandpa Li.

He also noticed that the coals in the bedroom stove were about to fall off the stove, so he got up and put some good-burning firewood into the stove, and then put some more coals on top.

After finishing his work, Fang Xin's stomach started to growl.

Fang Xin looked at the two elders who were sleeping soundly, then he closed the bedroom door, went to the living room, and slipped into the space.

The dog ran over and rubbed Fang Xin with his head, then looked at him with a worried look.

Fang Xin stroked its head and said, "It's okay. Grandpa and grandma are fine."

"Woof."

Fang Xin and Gou Zi had a simple dinner and left the place without even cleaning up the table.

Remembering that the two elders must not have had dinner, I took out two bottles of nutrient solution and gave them each to drink.

Fang Xin sat beside the elders' bed, staring at their condition, and before he knew it, he fell asleep on the bed.

It was around 5 o'clock in the morning when I woke up.

The two elders were sleeping soundly.

He stood up, straightened his back, and loosened his stiff bones.

I gently touched Grandpa Li's forehead. It wasn't very hot and was already subsiding.

He looked at Grandma Li again and found that she didn't look very well and her brows were wrinkled. Fang Xin quickly reached out and touched Grandma Li's forehead, which was flushed.

Grandma Li was a timid person, and perhaps she was frightened and developed a fever.

It is also possible that the tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he fell ill.

Fang Xin took out some antipyretic medicine and fed it to Grandma Li, then put a fever-reducing patch on her forehead and also put one on Grandpa Li.

Take out the hot water bag under the feet of the two elders, pour out the cooled water inside, fill it with hot water again, and place it under the feet of the two elders.

Another bottle of nutrient solution was given to the two elders.
