The tractor sped along, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at the county hospital. Qin Xiaoxiao was rushed into the emergency room, and Qin Yue was given an injection to reduce her fever and then put on an IV drip.
Grandma Qin and Qin Aiguo sat on the chairs in the emergency room corridor, their eyes never leaving the emergency room door. Half an hour later, the emergency room door opened, and Qin Feng and Qin Ye helped the two of them to the doctor. "Doctor, how is my child?"
The doctor smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. He caught a chill and was also frightened, which is why his fever won't go down. Just wait, he'll be fine after a couple of IV drips."
The doctor left right after he finished speaking. It's the middle of the night, and all he got was a fever. Doesn't this disturb his rest? He can go back and get some more sleep.
Qin Aiguo's brow remained furrowed. Seeing the doctor leave, he whispered to Qin Feng beside him, "Was this doctor any good? He was too young, wasn't he?"
Qin Feng frowned as well. "Dad, I have a feeling something's not quite right, but we don't have any other options right now. How about we take a look first and decide what to do when it gets light?"
Qin Aiguo had no other choice but to nod in agreement.
Qin Xiaoxiao was wheeled out, but she was still unconscious. Grandma Qin cried and followed Qin Xiaoxiao to the ward. After arriving at the ward, she did not rest but sat by the bedside watching Qin Xiaoxiao. No one could persuade her otherwise.
Qin Aiguo had no other choice but to sit down next to his wife and let her lean on him, offering her his greatest support in secret.
Qin Feng and Qin Hai paid the fees, while Qin Ming and Sun Zhirou stayed by Qin Yue's side. Fortunately, the two sisters were arranged to be together, and the whole family was in one room, so they didn't have to be separated.
Finally, dawn broke, and Grandma Qin couldn't wait to touch Qin Xiaoxiao's forehead, only to find that she had a fever again. Grandma Qin couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly looked at Qin Aiguo.
"Old man, this won't do, it's burning again."
Qin Feng quickly went out to call the nurse to take his temperature, and it turned out to be 39.1 degrees Celsius.
The nurse panicked and rushed to call the doctor.
It was the same doctor from last night; he didn't arrive for more than ten minutes.
"She has inflammation, which is why her fever has returned. I'll give her another injection to bring down the fever, and she can continue with IV fluids during the day. If it doesn't go down by tonight..."
When the doctor didn't continue, Old Mrs. Qin got anxious, "What, why won't you refund it? Just say it!"
The doctor's eyes flickered slightly. "If it doesn't go down, continue with the fever-reducing injection."
Then continue the IV drip, what else can you do?
Qin Feng and Qin Aiguo understood what was going on and frowned in dissatisfaction, but they had no other choice for the time being. They could only hope that an experienced doctor would come and take over in a while so that the experienced doctor could take another look.
Qin Xiaoxiao remained unconscious, and Old Mrs. Qin stayed by her side, oblivious to everything else. Ma Dahua and Qin Ye went out to buy breakfast for everyone, while Qin Hai rushed to the state-run restaurant to stew chicken soup, intending to nourish the family, especially Old Mrs. Qin and Qin Yue.
Qin Xiaoxiao can't eat anything now and can only survive on IV fluids. Qin Hai wants to help her, but he has no other way.
Fortunately, Qin Yue's fever subsided completely during the day, and her temperature remained at 36.7 or 36.8 degrees Celsius, which was less worrying. Now, the focus is on how Qin Xiaoxiao is doing.
Unconscious Qin Xiaoxiao felt as if she were trapped in a pitch-black place. She had shouted, cried for help, and moved around, but it was no use. She was surrounded by darkness and could not see her own hands or even tell which way to go. How could she possibly escape this dark prison?
Qin Xiaoxiao sat on the ground, hugging her arms, feeling the fear brought to her by the surrounding darkness. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and finally she couldn't help but cry out.
"Why am I so unlucky? My parents died when I was young, and I grew up alone with no relatives. I finally graduated from university and found a job, but then the apocalypse happened. I died after a year. And to make matters worse, I ended up in this godforsaken place."
In other people's transmigration stories, the female lead or supporting character is the protagonist, but in my case, I'm just cannon fodder. Being cannon fodder is one thing, I accept it, I can just stay away. I'll carefully hide and wait for reforms, and I should be able to live to a ripe old age, right? But why is there more than one female lead in this world? Why is it a world that overlaps with multiple novels?
Living is already hard enough, why make me suffer like this?
Was I wrong to save him? I was already far away from the riverbank, why did I have to fall in? Is it wrong not to do a good deed?
People say that those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. I don't care about good fortune; I just want to live. What's wrong with that?
Good heavens, open your eyes! I'm just a lowly cannon fodder, not worth all your trouble. You're always watching me, thinking about how to kill me. Aren't you tired?
A whole bunch of female leads and supporting characters are coming, and I still have to deal with you, old man. Aren't you feeling guilty?
Waaaaah... Why am I so unlucky?
"God, please spare me! Give me a way out! Since you've already sent me here, just treat me like a fart and let me go, okay?"
No matter how much Qin Xiaoxiao cried and screamed, there was still no sound or light in the darkness.
Helpless, Qin Xiaoxiao cried for a while, then stopped and decided to stand up and keep walking.
She wants to leave this place, she wants to go back, she wants to live.
God has given her a second chance at life, and she can't just waste it.
Qin Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears, stood up, and walked forward without looking back. Even if she couldn't tell which way to go, she would keep walking forward. As long as she moved forward, one day she would be able to get out of here.
She must go against the tide of darkness, break free from its cage, and return to reality.
Qin Xiaoxiao groped her way forward in the darkness, while Old Mrs. Qin, who was staying by her side, was about to go blind from crying.
"It's been three days already, why hasn't Xiaoxiao woken up yet? Xiaoxiao, wake up! Grandma will never let you go to the river again. Grandma was wrong, Grandma apologizes to you, okay?"
Woo woo woo…
Little one, please wake up! What will Grandma do if you keep sleeping like this? If something happens to you, how can Grandma face your deceased parents?
Grandma Qin cried until she fell silent, leaning against Qin Aiguo and closing her eyes tightly.
Qin Aiguo panicked upon seeing this and immediately called for a doctor.
A group of people walked down the corridor and hurried into Qin Xiaoxiao's ward. Qin Aiguo had already carried Qin's grandmother to another bed, and the doctor came over and conducted another examination.
Fortunately, Grandma Qin only fainted from anxiety and was not seriously injured. But if this continues, things might not be so good, after all, she is old and cannot withstand such torment.
After the doctor left, Qin Aiguo didn't care about anything else. He stayed by his wife's bedside without moving, his eyes never leaving her.
There was no work in the village, so Qin Feng and Ma Dahua stayed here. Qin Hai and Sun Zhirou couldn't take long leave, so they had already gone back.
Qin Yue refused to leave, insisting on waiting for Qin Xiaoxiao to wake up so they could go back to the village together. Qin Ming was worried about her and stayed with her the whole time.
Qin Ye was busy running errands, buying and delivering meals, fetching water, paying bills, persuading Old Mrs. Qin, and looking after Qin Ming and Qin Yue. He was extremely busy.
