It seemed as if Qin Chong couldn't hear her voice at all. He just hugged his arms and kept chattering his teeth: "Mother... Mother, save me, it's too, too cold in the ice hole, Chong'er is going to... I'm going to freeze to death..."
"Chong'er, listen to mother and follow me," Gu Qingtong leaned close to Qin Chong's ear and whispered in his ear, "Chong'er, listen to mother and you won't be cold anymore."
"Mother?" Qin Chong turned his head tremblingly, staring at Gu Qingtong with a pair of panicked, unfocused eyes, and kept muttering, "Mother, you, you are also in Southern Xinjiang?"
Gu Qingtong had no idea what Southern Xinjiang was, so she just agreed with him and said, "Yes, mother came to Southern Xinjiang to see Chong'er."
"Mother, mother, please leave quickly! Don't let them catch us!" Qin Chong pushed him hard, as if he was very anxious. His body trembled even more violently, and his teeth chattered even more violently. "Don't let them... hurt you too, mother. It's too uncomfortable in the ice hole. It's alright for your son to suffer in the ice hole alone. Please, please leave quickly..."
"But mother wants to stay with Chong'er," Gu Qingtong's nose suddenly felt sore, and she reached out to wipe away the tears from Qin Chong's eyes. Qin Chong had never told her about his family, so she naturally didn't know what kind of family Qin Chong came from, let alone the situation of his parents, but she could hear that Qin Chong missed his parents very much and respected them very much. This naturally touched Gu Qingtong's heart after being away from home for more than half a year. Looking at Qin Chong's appearance, she couldn't help but think of his parents far away in Ningguta, and Grandma Chen came to wipe Qin Chong's tears. Gu Qingtong was busy wiping her wet eyes with her sleeves, and at the same time held Qin Chong's hand, "Don't be afraid, Chong'er, mother will stay with you."
"Mother, mother, Chong'er is so cold, Chong'er can't stand it," Qin Chong's face became even uglier, and every word he uttered was extremely difficult. Even so, he was still pushing Gu Qingtong hard, "Mother, please leave quickly, as long as you and father can be safe and healthy in the capital, Chong'er will be willing to die in this ice hole..."
"Chong'er, stop talking," Gu Qingtong couldn't help herself and covered Qin Chong's mouth with her hands, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Just listen to your mother now, okay?"
Qin Chong nodded tremblingly.
"Be good, come and stand up," Gu Qingtong quickly held his armpits and helped him up, coaxing him softly, "Come, follow me forward, I will take you out of this ice hole."
Qin Chong's whole body was twitching so badly that he couldn't stand at all, let alone walk. If it weren't for Gu Qingtong's support, he would have fallen down long ago. Gu Qingtong mobilized all the strength in her body into her hands, holding her breath and carrying Qin Chong towards the bathtub little by little, until she brought Qin Chong to the bathtub. Gu Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish her breath, she frowned and worried again. How could she carry Qin Chong into the bathtub? She looked at the door and thought of Chen Qingxuan in the front yard. This thought was fleeting, and she hurriedly shook her head: "What am I thinking about?"
Gu Qingtong did not intend to keep it a secret from Chen Qingxuan. She thought that after Qin Chong's injuries were healed and his drug addiction was over, she would quietly let Qin Chong go, and then take Qin Chong to the drug store to find a job. At that time, she would introduce the two of them to each other. She had a hunch that Qin Chong would not be a passing visitor in her life. He appeared in her life and would stay there forever. It was just that she didn't know what role Qin Chong would play...
She didn't have time to think about these things now. She just wanted to take good care of Qin Chong... and take good care of him on behalf of his mother.
