After a while, Ah Chou brought in another basin of hot water. The yard was too big. It was at least ten feet from the kitchen to here. Ah Chou was afraid that the water would get cold, so she ran all the way in. At this time, she was slightly out of breath, and she didn't care about the sweat on her head. This time, she took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. She was determined to wipe Zhong Mingwei's body thoroughly.
While washing the towel, she whispered to Zhong Mingwei: "It's a rare warm day today, let's wipe our bodies?"
Of course, there was no answer. Ah Chou did not ask any more questions. She just assumed that the other party agreed and started to lift up the torn blanket on Zhong Mingwei. It was just as she thought. The person underneath was naked. After all, it was the first time for Ah Chou to do such a thing. She felt very awkward. She tried her best to hide her discomfort. She turned her head to twist the handkerchief. She kept talking to herself: "It's okay... It's okay... I'm just wiping you, it's okay..."
I don't know if he was speaking to Zhong Mingwei or to comfort himself.
The warm towel went all the way down from the chin, and Ah Chou wiped him carefully. He was naturally uncomfortable at first, but later that discomfort was thrown out of the window, because Zhong Mingwei's body was really dirty. Moreover, he had bedsores all over his body. The harder Ah Chou wiped his body, the more bedsores he found, not only on his arms and thighs, but also on his lower abdomen. Needless to say, there were even more bedsores under his body.
"How could this happen?" Ah Chou looked at the bedsores on Zhong Mingwei's lower abdomen and was so anxious that she almost cried. She had never seen so many bedsores so densely packed together. It was simply shocking. She didn't dare to touch them, so she could only gently wipe the edges with a handkerchief. Her fingers were trembling and her voice was filled with tears. "Why didn't you ask a doctor to come and see you? Why did they do this to you? Are you... in pain?"
Warm tears fell drop by drop on the bedsore. Perhaps stung by the tears, the shocking skin and flesh trembled slightly. Ah Chou thought he was dazzled and hurriedly wiped away his tears. When he looked again, the skin and flesh were still stiff. Ah Chou felt sad again. Was this man really completely paralyzed?
Achou changed another basin of hot water and wiped both of Zhong Mingwei's legs carefully. Zhong Mingwei was very tall, which could be seen from his long legs, but now his legs were stiff and the skin and flesh were a little loose, looking lifeless. Achou pinched them gently with his fingers, but there was no reaction. Achou was quite discouraged, but he did not slack off with his hands and even wiped the pair of big feet clean.
"Would you like to wipe the back too?" After wiping her legs, Ah Chou asked Zhong Mingwei again. Although she knew that Zhong Mingwei would not respond to her, Ah Chou still asked in a low voice, "Can you turn over? Is it true that... you can't move your whole body?"
No one paid any attention to her. Ah Chou felt a little disappointed when she saw Zhong Mingwei's tight lips. But when she glanced at his Adam's apple sliding up and down, her heart skipped a beat, and she obviously understood something.
This man of great respect has fallen into this state today. For him, lingering on like this must be more painful than death, right? But he is paralyzed like this, and he can't even ask for death.
