Xia Lunong felt that it should be spring now.
Looking out from the window bars, fine and dense raindrops were drifting out. It would not be such dense rain except in spring.
Xia Lunong's eyes turned slightly, then retracted to look at the room where she was lying.
This was a small red brick house. There were no tiles on the ground, but cement. The walls were not painted with white lime, and the bricks were exposed. Looking up, there were wooden beams, and above that were tiles.
There were two windows facing each other in the house, one on the left wall and one on the right wall. The windows were equipped with wooden grilles and were not large. These were the only two sources of light. The faint light came in, and on such a cloudy day, it only illuminated the area of more than one meter in front of the window, making the room look very dark.
There were three small beds crowded side by side in the room. Except for his bed, the other two beds had neatly piled white beddings at the head of the bed. They may have been washed too many times and had turned gray, with sparse longitude and latitude lines visible.
This is a ward.
A year and a half has passed.
Xia Lunong retracted his gaze and looked at the beams and tiles above his head.
A year and a half had passed since the terrible disaster, and he was still alive.
"What are you looking at?" A tall and thin woman came in from outside with a tray and walked to his bedside.
The shadows cast down, blocking part of the light and making the dim room even darker.
Xia Lunong spoke with difficulty, "Doctor... Ou."
Doctor Ou quickly turned him over, pressed his stiff muscles, and checked his condition. Seeing that he was not seriously ill, he tucked him in.
"If it rains, the collection team may have to stay outside for a little longer, but it will not exceed ten days. Don't worry too much."
"Thank you... Doctor... Ou." Xia Lunong panted twice after speaking, which was very difficult.
Doctor Ou reached out and touched his forehead, "You just woke up, just rest for a few more days, don't worry too much." Doctor
Ou's hands were thin and long, his skin was dry and yellow, and his fingertips and palms were full of burrs. When he touched his forehead, it felt like a piece of sandpaper.
This warm and rough hand covered Xia Lunong's forehead, and the coolness was directly transmitted to Xia Lunong's skull. A warm and cool thing went down his spine and flowed through his stiff body. He instantly gained some strength and his joints were not so stiff.
This was Doctor Ou's unique treatment method.
Xia Lunong looked at Doctor Ou with a little more gratitude in his eyes, and he opened his lips again with difficulty, "Thank you... for your hard work."
"Thank you. Go to sleep." Doctor Ou softened his voice, looked into his eyes and said, "Maybe when you wake up, Deputy Captain Xia and the others will be back."
Xia Lunong was comforted by her voice, and his consciousness quickly dissipated, sinking into a chaotic dream.
He dreamed of the day when the celestial bodies hit the earth again.
Under the influence of the earth's gravity, huge celestial bodies crashed into various parts of the earth at the same time. Some of them were intercepted by nuclear bombs, while some were not.
The nuclear explosions and collisions made deafening explosions.
Even the people who took refuge in the subway tunnels could not escape the impact.
Countless people were shouting and crying, but these sounds were drowned out by the huge explosions as soon as they came out.
The explosion was so loud that Xia Lunong felt that the moment was extremely quiet. There was no sound between heaven and earth, not even the sound of heartbeats.
He hugged his brother tightly, his eyes wide open and full of bloodshot. His nose and ears were bleeding, and the wet, dark red blood was stained everywhere.
In the dark, he held his brother under his chest and abdomen, not expecting to be rescued, but hoping that even if both brothers were crushed to death, his brother's body would be intact and not smashed to pieces.
Xia Lunong never thought that he could survive, and when he woke up, he was even lucky enough to be lying on the hospital bed, and his brother was still alive.
Xia Lunong slept and woke up, woke up and slept again.
Doctor Ou came to see him every two hours during the day, helped him turn over, assisted him to go to the toilet, and also gave him that kind of cool and comfortable stuff.
Gradually, he got better, could move his hands and feet, could sit, and could use a spoon to scoop water to cook vegetables, meat soup and porridge.
When it is not raining, Doctor Ou will wrap him up tightly with a blanket and put him on a wooden wheelchair in the open space in the middle of the courtyard to bask in the sun with other patients.
Lu Nong gradually learned that Doctor Ou has a healing ability and is now a doctor in the base.
No matter what disease it is, it can be treated with healing abilities.
On the contrary, serious doctors, in this situation of lack of medical equipment and drugs, have mostly switched to become planters or collectors.
It is indeed spring now, early spring, and the whole base is very busy.
The only idle people are probably very young children and these injured or sick people.
There are actually very few patients.
When Xia Lunong was placed among the patients and listened to their conversation, she learned that sending them here for treatment would cost supplies, half of which would be subsidized by the base, and the remaining half would be paid by themselves.
Most people would be reluctant to come here for treatment for minor injuries and minor illnesses, and there would be no supplies to treat serious injuries and serious illnesses.
When talking about this topic, a short and strong man with an injured arm among the patients said to Xia Lunong enviously: "Only Deputy Captain Xia has the ability to let you recuperate here with Doctor Ou for a year and a half."
Another man replied, "Hey, who said it wasn't? Who in the entire base doesn't want a brother like Deputy Captain Xia?"
Xia Lunong blinked slowly and said nothing.
The patients didn't care, and they continued to discuss.
The weather is still a bit cold in spring.
Doctor Ou would not let Xia Lunong stay outside for too long, and would push or carry him back when he was almost done.
There was only Doctor Ou in the entire medical hospital, and she was less than 1.7 meters tall, but she carried Xia Lunong, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, as if she were carrying a child.
This was certainly due to Xia Lunong's sudden weight loss due to illness, but more importantly, people nowadays are very strong.
Most people can now turn into an animal, and the survivors call this change bestiality.
The short and stout man with an injured arm had changed into a beast form for him to see, and he was a lizard.
When Xia Lunong saw the man in front of her suddenly turn into a big lizard for the first time, her eyes almost popped out, and she maintained a shocked expression for a long time.
According to what the patients had said in their chats, Doctor Ou's beast form was a squirrel, not a very strong beast form.
Like Xia Lunong's brother, his beast form is an ancient giant wolf. Not to mention this base, even if we count the other two bases that are not too close, the strength of the ancient giant wolf can be ranked in the top ten.
Xia Lunong has heard a lot, and his heart has a lot more expectations, and his eyes are often full of colors.
He has a pair of very smart eyes, black and white, clear and obvious, and very easy to express emotions.
Seeing him like this, Dr. Ou comforted him, "Your brother will be back in a few days."
Xia Lunong's brother Xia Huoqu came back on a rainy day.
That day, Xia Lunong, as usual, wrapped in a quilt and wearing a hat, sat in front of the window and took a nap. Half asleep and half awake, a shadow was cast, covering most of the light that was not very good to begin with.
Xia Lunong felt something in his heart and slowly opened his eyes. He saw a tall and thin young man in front of him. He had a pale and handsome face, a flat head, and his facial features were like an ink painting, which were very clear on his pale face.
Xia Lunong felt that this man was very familiar and strange.
He looked at him in a daze for a long time. His eyes were hot and tears flowed out. He reached out to the man, and the sound squeezed out of his throat was small and vague, "Brother, why are you so thin?"
Something in his throat made his chest hurt, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.
Xia Lunong had never seen such a thin brother. At the collar, he could see the deep concave clavicle of his brother, which cast a heavy shadow.
Xia Huoqu wiped his head with his big hand, his eyes were red, and he looked at him for a long time, then stretched out his arms to hug him, pressing him gently and powerfully in his arms.
Xia Lunong leaned against her brother's warm chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and smelling the unique scent of a young man emanating from his warm skin. When she closed her eyes, she suddenly felt real.
After hugging him for a while, he felt embarrassed at first, wiped his eyes, and called out again, "Brother."
Xia Huoqu let him go, looked at his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "You look okay."
Xia Lunong raised her face, her eyes were still red, and she forced a smile, "Doctor Ou said I'm almost well, and there won't be any serious problems if I take some more rest."
Xia Huoqu touched his hair again, and looked at him with a warm gaze.
The two sat opposite each other and talked for a while, and Xia Lunong
felt tired again. He yawned vigorously, and his eyelashes were wet with tears.
Seeing him like this, Xia Huoqu tucked the quilt in for him, "Go to sleep, I'll be with you."
"Brother, don't you have to go out to collect?"
"Not for the time being." Xia Huoqu said, "I promise I'll still be there when you wake up."
After hearing the promise, Xia Lunong fell into a sweet dream with peace of mind.
Xia Huoqu came back and contacted him and the base through his brother. This legendary base finally felt real to Xia Lunong.
Xia Lunong had been lying in bed for a year and a half, and his muscles were basically gone. He was skinny and not in good condition in all aspects.
Now that he has woken up, he also needs to rest for a while before his physical condition can return to normal.
After he woke up, Xia Huoqu stopped going out to collect things for the time being and took care of him all the time.
He helped him bathe, feed him, and pushed him out to sunbathe.
Doctor Ou's special ability was very useful.
Xia Lunong recovered very quickly, and four days later, Doctor Ou told them that he was no longer in serious condition and could be taken home to recuperate.
Doctor Ou's special ability was very good, and his fees were not cheap. Every time Xia Huoqu went out to collect things, in addition to handing them over to the base, 90% of the things he brought back were handed over to the medical hospital, and less than 10% were used on himself.
Xia Lunong knew about this more or less, and when he heard that he could finally be discharged from the hospital, he was relieved.
Xia Huoqu was also very happy, and he was smiling when he took him.
Xia Lunong can walk now, but his body is not fully recovered yet, so he can't walk far.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Xia Huoqu personally carried him back.
It was the first time Xia Lunong left the hospital after waking up for more than ten days. The moment he stepped out of the hospital, he exhaled lightly.
The exhalation was a little loud, and it hit Xia Huoqu's back neck directly.
Xia Huoqu smiled and said, "Are you so happy to be discharged from the hospital?"
Xia Lunong curved her eyebrows and said, "Hmm," "I'm very happy."
"Then try to take good care of yourself during this period of time, and don't go to the medical hospital again."
"Of course not, I will exercise well!" Xia Lunong thought happily, "After I transform into a beast, I will also go out to collect with you."
Xia Huoqu said, "Let's talk about it after you recover."
