Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Fainted with Burns
Qin Dayou and several men hurriedly supported the limp Qin Run. Seeing that Qin Run was about to faint, Qin Dayou used some method he learned from somewhere to press hard on Qin Run's philtrum.
Qin Run was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes. When he came to his senses, he ran out without caring about anything.
When Qin Run arrived at Jishi Medical Clinic, he couldn't wait for the ox cart to stop and jumped down directly. Because his legs were weak, he almost fell to the ground, but he didn't care and ran inside hurriedly.
“Yun Fan!!”
Qin Run called out, and the little boy recognized Qin Run and hurriedly led the way. "Mr. Qin, come this way. Doctor Xu is over here."
On the bed, Xu Yunfan closed his eyes, not moving at all, just lying there "obediently". His lifeless look was a far cry from his usual smiling face.
Just looking at it like this, Qin Run almost cried out, his lips trembling uncontrollably, and he shouted again, "Yun Fan!"
He ran over and touched Xu Yunfan's face with his hands trembling violently. When he found that Xu Yunfan's face was hot, he felt relieved.
On the way here, he asked Sun Wu several times what happened to Xu Yunfan, but Sun Wu had no idea.
When Xu Yunfan was sent to the clinic by the students, he couldn't squeeze in. Aunt Qin ran to the clinic breathlessly and told him to go back to the village and call Qin Run. So, he had no idea what was wrong with Xu Yunfan.
Qin Run's eyes went dark. If he hadn't been thinking of Xu Yunfan, he wouldn't have fallen down. He might have fainted long ago.
He was so scared that he prayed countless times on the way here that Xu Yunfan was fine and would never leave him and abandon them.
Qin Run didn't dare to think about how he would live in the future without Xu Yunfan.
Even though he knew that everyone in this world could be fine without anyone else, he really couldn't accept that in the future there would be no one like Xu Yunfan who would always be in his thoughts, who would spoil him to the core, and who would say sweet words to make him happy every day.
Qin Run was too scared.
That’s how Grandma Qin died.
He had just gone out to pick up a bundle of firewood when Qin's uncle hurriedly ran to the foot of the mountain and called him to go back quickly, saying that his grandmother had passed away.
There were no signs at all, or perhaps there were signs, but Qin Run, who was only ten years old, knew nothing and could not see anything.
He just went out to collect firewood as usual, but when he came back his grandmother was gone.
Ten-year-old Qin Run couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.
Qin Run, who was only ten years old at the time, was stunned. The small branch in his hand fell directly, and he couldn't react for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he found that he had been carried back home by his uncle without knowing when. His grandmother was lying on the ground with a mat under her. Other uncles and aunts were coming in and out to help with the funeral, but he was the only one who was being called by Aunt Qin to kneel beside her.
Some people are so sad that they can't even cry.
He was numb and dazed, feeling that everything was just a nightmare. He called out "Grandma" several times, but the person on the ground didn't respond. He knelt there and watched with his own eyes as the other aunts and ladies from the Qin family came with white cloths and draped them over Grandma's body layer by layer.
The brothers and sisters came over with the adults and came to him and sobbed, but he couldn't cry.
Whether it was when Grandma Qin was placed in the coffin, or when several uncles worked together to carry Grandma Qin's coffin to the ground for burial, Qin Run was numb, letting Aunt Qin hold his hand and jog behind her.
They were all crying, crying their hearts out, except him.
Later, Qin An was brought back by the village chief's husband. When Qin Run held his younger brother, when he subconsciously called for his grandmother or needed his grandmother's help, he suddenly couldn't control his tears.
Qin's father was like this before. The uncles in the village also ran to the door in a panic and shouted, and then his father was no longer by his side.
One or two are like this!!
So Qin Run was scared.
That kind of fear is a memory that has been engraved in the bones and cannot be erased. Once it is touched, it will rush out.
Qin Run was so scared that he felt relieved when he touched Xu Yunfan's hot cheek.
Xu Yunfan was still warm, so at least it proved that he was still there.
"Mr. Qin, don't worry. Mr. Xu just has a fever. Doctor Meng has already given him a bowl of medicine. He will wake up soon." Seeing that Qin Run seemed to be frightened, the medicine boy couldn't help but comfort him.
Qin Run replied muffledly: "Excuse me, my husband has a fever all of a sudden. He was fine this morning."
Medicine Boy: "Master Xu must have been in good health before. He doesn't often have fevers, but when he does, it's very severe. Everyone's constitution is different, and some people will feel dizzy when they have a fever. In the early stages, he just felt weak... so it's normal that you can't notice it."
Feeling weak all over?
Qin Run remembered that when he got up this morning, Xu Yunfan was indeed weak and even whispered that he felt uncomfortable. But at that time he thought he was uncomfortable because he didn't get enough sleep.
Qin Run felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this. What if Xu Yunfan had fainted not in class but somewhere else?
When people are uneasy and depressed, they tend to worry about everything and have wild thoughts.
Qin Run is just a mortal, and he couldn't help but blame himself secretly, wondering why he didn't notice that something was wrong with Xu Yunfan earlier.
When Xu Yunfan was confused, he felt dizzy and painful in his head, and his whole body was uncomfortable.
Xu Yunfan had never felt so uncomfortable since he was a child. He couldn't help but groan and subconsciously called out, "Run Ge'er~"
"I'm here!" Qin Run stayed by the bed and didn't go anywhere. Xu Yunfan was here, so where could he go?
A familiar voice sounded above his head. Xu Yunfan opened his eyes. His eyes, which used to be clear black and white, were now bloodshot and looked pitiful. "Run'er, I feel uncomfortable. My throat is dry and sore. Please call the family doctor to give me an IV drip or a shot in the buttocks."
Qin Run: “…”
Qin Run panicked. Was Xu Yunfan confused because of the fever?
Why are you talking nonsense again?
"Doctor Meng, come quickly!"
Doctor Meng came over and looked at him for a while, then called the medicine boy to bring Xu Yunfan a bowl of medicine. Xu Yunfan turned his head left and right and refused to drink it. Qin Run tried to coax him, but Xu Yunfan just wouldn't open his mouth. Doctor Meng was helpless, "Mr. Qin, hold him down and let's make him drink it!"
Qin Run: "...Okay."
Qin Run held Xu Yunfan's head and hands, and he forced Doctor Meng to feed him a bowl of black medicine. The medicine was so bitter that Xu Yunfan vomited twice. Qin Run took out a candied fruit from somewhere and put it into Xu Yunfan's mouth. Xu Yunfan held the candied fruit in his mouth, turned his head away, and did not look at anyone. It was obvious that he was angry that Qin Run held him down.
People who feel uncomfortable are prone to emotional instability. Qin Run touched Xu Yunfan's shoulder. Xu Yunfan snorted and moved inward, not letting Qin Run touch him again. He complained, "You don't feel sorry for me at all. I feel very uncomfortable and angry now."
But surprisingly, Qin Run just sat there in silence for a while, without trying to comfort anyone. He just tucked the quilt into Xu Yunfan, and then went away to do something unknown. In less than a quarter of an hour, he came back with a bundle.
Xu Yunfan drank the medicine and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, Xu Yunfan was awakened by the feeling of something shaking under him.
On the ox cart, Xu Yunfan was covered with a snow-white cloak. The cloak was thick and warm, and the golden flowing cloud pattern embroidered on it made it look more noble. It was obvious at a glance that it was not cheap.
Qin Run spent two hundred taels to buy this snow fox cloak. He could not afford it at first, but the shopkeeper knew Qin Run, and in order to become a top customer of Yunrun Restaurant, he gritted his teeth and bought it from Qin Run at half the price of two hundred taels, and gave it to him half as a gift.
Snow foxes are different from foxes in the mountains and forests. Due to the area where they live, they are rare to come across and even harder to catch without damaging their fur. Therefore, it is not surprising that a snow fox cloak can be sold for several hundred taels.
But the strange thing is that Qin Run actually paid for it without blinking an eye.
For Xu Yunfan, let alone two hundred taels for a cloak that can only be worn in winter, even if it was five or six hundred taels, as long as it could keep Xu Yunfan warm and prevent him from freezing, how could he be reluctant to spend it?
Xu Yunfan touched the fur on the hood of his cloak, and felt a little embarrassed when he thought of his temper when he was not sober. He just wanted to look up at Qin Run and see what happened, but when he looked up, their eyes met.
"Awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Are you cold?" Qin Run asked, not forgetting to press the cloak on Xu Yunfan's side a little tighter, "Brother Sun Wu, can you go slower? The wind is too strong and it will blow Yunfan away."
Sun Wu quickly agreed, not forgetting to look back at Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan's cheeks were red, and his breath was hot and heavy. When Sun Wu looked over, Xu Yunfan shrank back under his cloak in embarrassment and said, "I'm not cold, I just feel uncomfortable all over."
"You have a fever, a very high one. Doctor Meng said you had a good constitution before and rarely had a fever, so this time it came on so violently. You should stay at home and take good care of yourself for the next few days."
"Well, have you asked for leave for me from the academy?"
"Yes, I asked Sun Wu to talk to the dean and your students. They all told you to rest at home and not to worry about anything else."
"Okay then." Xu Yunfan said, then stopped talking dejectedly.
When I got home, Qin and other people from other villages who came to work came to visit me.
God knows, Sun Wu's shout upon returning must have frightened them to death. Li Liu returned from the restaurant that day and went in with Qin An and the others to examine him for a long time. Finally, Li Liu shook his head and said, "Young Master, your health... looks strong, but it seems that's all it is. It's only been snowing for two days and you've collapsed. This won't do."
Xu Yunfan sat back on the bed, a mask covering his face. He rolled his eyes at Li Liu and said, "You know what it means to be unable to prevent it? I've been infected."
A few days ago, a student coughed, but Xu Yunfan didn't take it seriously, so he got infected.
Several children at home were surrounding his bed, half crying, as if he was about to die. They couldn't be driven away. What could Xu Yunfan do but find a mask and put on it.
"Brother, are you still feeling bad?"
Uncomfortable!
It's quite uncomfortable!
But Xu Yunfan couldn't say that. "A little bit. My brother-in-law will be fine after his fever goes away tomorrow. Don't worry."
Xu Yunfan spoke with great confidence, but sometimes, people just can't talk big, otherwise they will easily be slapped in the face.
In the middle of the night, Xu Yunfan had a fever again. Not afraid of being infected, Qin Run, who was sleeping in Xu Yunfan's arms, was forced to hold Xu Yunfan in his arms despite Xu Yunfan's refusal. Qin Run shuddered from the burns, and when he touched the person in his arms who was as hot as a thermos, he hurriedly lit a candle and ran out of the room.
"Sixth brother, wake up quickly."
Xu Yunfan had a fever and couldn't eat at night. When Qin Run was washing up, Li Liu specifically asked Qin Run a few questions. Qin Run honestly told Li Liu that Doctor Meng said that this thing would recur and asked him to pay attention.
Li Liu didn't dare to sleep too deeply. When Qin Run called him, he immediately got out of bed and said, "What's wrong? Is the young master having a fever again?"
"Well, Sixth Brother, please help me boil a bowl of medicine. I'll get some water to wipe him and then change his clothes."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Because the two of them had made preparations in advance, everything went on in an orderly manner, but no one slept well that night.
After drinking the medicine, Xu Yunfan slept for half an hour and woke up in a daze, as if he had a fever. He groaned from time to time, sometimes saying he was hot, sometimes saying he felt uncomfortable, and sometimes he seemed to be so uncomfortable that he got angry. He shouted words that Li Liu couldn't understand. Perhaps because no one came, Xu Yunfan was so angry that he pounded the bed with his fists. His voice was very low and he said angrily that if the person didn't come after so long, he would fire him tomorrow.
Only at times like this would Xu Yunfan's temper become like those of the young masters.
Qin Run was busy changing clothes for Xu Yunfan. Li Liu saw that he was sweating a lot, and recalled that Xu Yunfan usually asked Qin to see his son whenever his gums hurt or he felt a little uncomfortable. Xu Yunfan would always say, "It's okay, it's okay, you're just getting irritated, just drink more hot water and you'll be fine." It was just like those women who felt uncomfortable during their menstrual period and asked Xu Yunfan what to do. Xu Yunfan didn't blush or feel embarrassed, and smiled and told them to go back and drink more hot water.
It seems that no matter what problem Xu Yunfan has, he will prescribe a medicine called hot water, and this thing is quite versatile and can cure anything.
The person who listened to him drank hot water for two days and found that his gums were no longer swollen and his teeth no longer hurt.
Li Liu went from being skeptical at first to believing it completely, and immediately went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water.
When Xu Yunfan was awake, he was so busy coaxing his three children that he didn't even remember where he had put the antipyretic medicine he had taken out of the suitcase. Qin Run knew it, but he had heard that some medicines cannot be taken at the same time. Since Xu Yunfan had taken the Chinese medicine, Qin Run naturally didn't dare to give him anything else.
That night, Li Liu forced Xu Yunfan to drink countless bowls of boiling water. Xu Yunfan said he didn't want to drink anymore, but Li Liu didn't listen and made him drink a bowl every half hour. No matter how much Xu Yunfan sweated, he couldn't keep up with Li Liu's speed in pouring water. The moment Li Liu called him to drink water again, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but wonder if he had offended Li Liu in the past, so that Li Liu tortured him every chance he got.
Xu Yunfan had never suffered such suffering since he was a child. Before falling asleep, he secretly decided that he must continue to exercise after he recovered from his illness.
It is said that illness comes like a mountain falling and goes like a thread being pulled out. Xu Yunfan had a fever for several days and did not recover.
The next few days were not as uncomfortable as the first two days, but Xu Yunfan still had no energy, felt weak all over, and was in poor spirits. Qi Xiu Ze and others came to see him several times and brought a lot of supplements, but Xu Yunfan didn't move much because he had no appetite. He drank porridge these days. When Xu Zhifeng saw him, he drank a bowl of porridge. When he came again the next day, he brought a chicken.
Xu Yunfan put the chicken away and took out the "treasure" Xiao Hengzhi had given him. "Take these books home and read them carefully. Let Xiu Ze and the others have a look as well."
"Have you read it? What do you think of it?" Xu Zhifeng took the book and flipped through it, and asked subconsciously. He naturally thought that Xu Yunfan had read it already.
Xu Yunfan blushed and said shamelessly, "For me, the difficulty is just that high, but you are different from me. Your current level is not as high as mine. I think it's just average. I guess you can't figure out the answer even if you scratch your head."
Xu Zhifeng: “…”
Xu Zhifeng couldn't sit still anymore. He was afraid that if he continued chatting, he would be completely defeated by Xu Yunfan.
As soon as Xu Zhifeng left, Qin An came in holding Xiaobao's hand.
Under the pressure of Qin Run's authority, Xu Yunfan was unable to get out of bed for several days, which frightened Xiaobao, Qin An and Qin Mu.
Qin An held Xiaobao in his arms, sitting silently aside. He didn't say a word, exuding a sad and gloomy aura, staring straight at Xu Yunfan.
This is how the elderly people in the village used to be.
Aunt Qin said they were sick and couldn't get out of bed. Qin An was young at that time and believed it, but later, when he passed by those people's doors, he never saw the old lady sitting at the door again.
When he was digging wild onions in the mountains with the small vegetable basket that Grandpa Fang had specially woven for him, he heard others say that those old people were gone.
Now Goff is also lying in bed, and the eldest brother stays with Goff every day. He will only leave if there is someone else with Goff. So, is the eldest brother also afraid that Goff will leave when they are not around?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin An couldn't help but feel scared.
After being stared at by Qin An for a long time, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but ask, "Brother An, why do you keep looking at Gefu like that? Could it be that you found Gefu more handsome than yesterday?"
"Brother, you are sick, will you be cold?" Qin An asked innocently. Brother said that death is cold, and the word death is not nice, so he couldn't say it in front of Brother.
Xu Yunfan: “…No!”
"But the old men and women in the village are..."
Xu Yunfan couldn't listen any longer. He was only seventeen. "Brother Gefu is different from them. Brother Gefu is still very young. It will take at least eighty years for him to reach that stage."
It’s strange to say, but after he fell ill, not only did Qin An become abnormal, but even Qin Run started to behave abnormally.
In recent days, Qin Run has basically not asked about the affairs of the shops, restaurants, and canteens. He even tries not to go out. If it were not for getting food for Xu Yunfan, he might not leave Xu Yunfan's side. It can be said that he is inseparable from him.
It seems that I need to have a good talk with Qin Run tonight. He just has a fever and is not in good spirits, he is not dying. There is really no need for them brothers to be so nervous.
"Brother An, aren't you going to take Brother Mu to play with Dadan and the others?" Xu Yunfan leaned against the head of the bed and asked Qin An with a smile. This shouldn't be the case. Every "weekend" before, Qin An would always follow Qin Mu to play with the three eggs and Xiaoshan.
Qin An shook his head and said, "No."
"Why? Is it too cold?" It was snowing outside and it was indeed a bit cold, but children didn't necessarily have to play outdoors.
Qin An looked at Xu Yunfan and said, "I want to accompany my brother-in-law. He will be very bored at home alone."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
Isn’t your elder brother a human being?
"It's not boring. Your eldest brother is here. If you want to go out and play, go ahead. Brother Fu can stay alone."
Qin An still shook his head, "No, I want to accompany my brother-in-law."
Xiaobao and Qin Mu were also silent, obviously not wanting to go out to play. Since the children didn't want to go out, could Xu Yunfan really chase them out? However, sitting there doing nothing was not a good idea. "Then Brother Fu will tell you a story, okay?"
"Okay." Qin Mu was happy when he heard there was a story to tell. Unlike Qin An, he didn't have the same worries. He happily climbed onto the bed and got under the quilt, sitting with Xu Yunfan on the pillow. "Brother, you can tell it now."
Xu Yunfan smiled, "Ange'er and Xiaobao are here, do you want to come in? It's very warm under the quilt."
The four of them squeezed into one blanket, surrounded by three children. Xu Yunfan suddenly felt very warm. "Where's that Journey to the West that Brother-in-law mentioned last time?"
Qin Mu: "Gefu said that the female snake spirit drank blood and then began to transform into a giant python here."
Xu Yunfan smiled and said, "Yes, my brother almost forgot. Speaking of the female snake demon..."
In the kitchen, Qin Run cooked the porridge and fried some sour beans, then hurriedly brought the food into the house.
Xu Yunfan has had no appetite recently and can't eat spicy food. However, he can drink an extra bowl of porridge if he eats something sour. Qin Run felt so distressed to see that he had lost weight. He even went out to buy some sour food when he ran out of it at home.
Seeing Qin Run bringing the food into the house again, Xu Yunfan held his forehead helplessly and asked the children to leave first.
